Daniel 8:10-26
10And it waxed greatH1431, even to the hostH6635 of heavenH8064; and it cast downH5307 some of the hostH6635 and of the starsH3556 to the groundH776, and stampedH7429 upon them.1 11Yea, he magnifiedH1431 himself even to the princeH8269 of the hostH6635, and by him the dailyH8548 sacrifice was taken awayH7311, and the placeH4349 of his sanctuaryH4720 was cast downH7993.23 12And an hostH6635 was givenH5414 him against the dailyH8548 sacrifice by reason of transgressionH6588, and it cast downH7993 the truthH571 to the groundH776; and it practisedH6213, and prosperedH6743.4
13Then I heardH8085 oneH259 saintH6918 speakingH1696, and anotherH259 saintH6918 saidH559 unto that certainH6422 saint which spakeH1696, How long shall be the visionH2377 concerning the dailyH8548 sacrifice, and the transgressionH6588 of desolationH8074, to giveH5414 both the sanctuaryH6944 and the hostH6635 to be trodden under footH4823?56 14And he saidH559 unto me, Unto two thousandH505 and threeH7969 hundredH3967 daysH1242H6153; then shall the sanctuaryH6944 be cleansedH6663.78
15And it came to pass, when I, even I DanielH1840, had seenH7200 the visionH2377, and soughtH1245 for the meaningH998, then, behold, there stoodH5975 before me as the appearanceH4758 of a manH1397. 16And I heardH8085 a man’sH120 voiceH6963 between the banks of UlaiH195, which calledH7121, and saidH559, GabrielH1403, make thisH1975 man to understandH995 the visionH4758. 17So he cameH935 nearH681 where I stoodH5977: and when he cameH935, I was afraidH1204, and fellH5307 upon my faceH6440: but he saidH559 unto me, UnderstandH995, O sonH1121 of manH120: for at the timeH6256 of the endH7093 shall be the visionH2377. 18Now as he was speakingH1696 with me, I was in a deep sleepH7290 on my faceH6440 toward the groundH776: but he touchedH5060 me, and setH5975 me uprightH5977.9 19And he saidH559, Behold, I will make thee knowH3045 what shall be in the last endH319 of the indignationH2195: for at the time appointedH4150 the endH7093 shall be. 20The ramH352 which thou sawestH7200 havingH1167 two hornsH7161 are the kingsH4428 of MediaH4074 and PersiaH6539. 21And the roughH8163 goatH6842 is the kingH4428 of GreciaH3120: and the greatH1419 hornH7161 that is between his eyesH5869 is the firstH7223 kingH4428. 22Now that being brokenH7665, whereas fourH702 stood upH5975 for it, fourH702 kingdomsH4438 shall stand upH5975 out of the nationH1471, but not in his powerH3581. 23And in the latter timeH319 of their kingdomH4438, when the transgressorsH6586 are come to the fullH8552, a kingH4428 of fierceH5794 countenanceH6440, and understandingH995 dark sentencesH2420, shall stand upH5975.10 24And his powerH3581 shall be mightyH6105, but not by his own powerH3581: and he shall destroyH7843 wonderfullyH6381, and shall prosperH6743, and practiseH6213, and shall destroyH7843 the mightyH6099 and the holyH6918 peopleH5971.11 25And through his policyH7922 also he shall cause craftH4820 to prosperH6743 in his handH3027; and he shall magnifyH1431 himself in his heartH3824, and by peaceH7962 shall destroyH7843 manyH7227: he shall also stand upH5975 against the PrinceH8269 of princesH8269; but he shall be brokenH7665 withoutH657 handH3027.12 26And the visionH4758 of the eveningH6153 and the morningH1242 which was toldH559 is trueH571: wherefore shut thou upH5640 the visionH2377; for it shall be for manyH7227 daysH3117.
