Daniel 8:3-9

3Then I lifted upH5375 mine eyesH5869, and sawH7200, and, behold, there stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the riverH180 aH259 ramH352 which had two hornsH7161: and the two hornsH7161 were highH1364; but oneH259 was higherH1364 than the otherH8145, and the higherH1364 came upH5927 lastH314.1

4I sawH7200 the ramH352 pushingH5055 westwardH3220, and northwardH6828, and southwardH5045; so that no beastsH2416 might standH5975 beforeH6440 him, neither was there any that could deliverH5337 out of his handH3027; but he didH6213 according to his willH7522, and became greatH1431.

5And as I was consideringH995, behold, an heH5795 goatH6842 cameH935 from the westH4628 on the faceH6440 of the whole earthH776, and touchedH5060 not the groundH776: and the goatH6842 had a notableH2380 hornH7161 between his eyesH5869.23

6And he cameH935 to the ramH352 that hadH1167 two hornsH7161, which I had seenH7200 standingH5975 beforeH6440 the riverH180, and ranH7323 unto him in the furyH2534 of his powerH3581.

7And I sawH7200 him comeH5060 close untoH681 the ramH352, and he was moved with cholerH4843 against him, and smoteH5221 the ramH352, and brakeH7665 his twoH8147 hornsH7161: and there was no powerH3581 in the ramH352 to standH5975 beforeH6440 him, but he cast him downH7993 to the groundH776, and stampedH7429 upon him: and there was none that could deliverH5337 the ramH352 out of his handH3027.

8Therefore the heH6842 goatH5795 waxed veryH3966 greatH1431: and when he was strongH6105, the greatH1419 hornH7161 was brokenH7665; and for it came upH5927 fourH702 notable onesH2380 toward the fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064.

9And out of oneH259 of them came forthH3318 a littleH4704 hornH7161, which waxed exceedingH3499 greatH1431, toward the southH5045, and toward the eastH4217, and toward the pleasantH6643 land.
