Daniel 7:2-14

2DanielH1841 spake and saidH560, I sawH2370 in my visionH2376 by nightH3916, and, beholdH718, the fourH703 windsH7308 of the heavenH8065 brake forth upon the greatH7229 seaH3221.

3And fourH703 greatH7260 beastsH2423 came upH5559 from the seaH3221, diverse one from anotherH1668.

4The firstH6933 was like a lionH744, and had eagle’s wingsH1611: I beheld till the wingsH1611 thereof were pluckedH4804, and it was liftedH5191 up from the earthH772, and madeH6966 to standH6966 upon two feetH7271 as a manH606, and a man’sH606 heartH3825 was givenH3052 to it.

5And beholdH718 anotherH317 beastH2423, a secondH8578, like to a bearH1678, and it was raisedH6966 up on one sideH7859, and threeH8532 ribsH5967 were in his mouthH6433 betweenH997 his teethH8128: and they saidH560 thusH3652 unto it, AriseH6966, devourH399 muchH7690 fleshH1321.

6AfterH870 this I beheld, and lo anotherH317, like a leopardH5245, whichH1768 had upon the backH1355 of it fourH703 wingsH1611 of a fowl; the beastH2423 had also fourH703 headsH7217; and dominionH7985 was givenH3052 to it.

7AfterH870 this I sawH2370 in the nightH3916 visionsH2376, and beholdH718 a fourthH7244 beastH2423, terribleH574 and powerfulH8624, and strongH8624 exceedinglyH3493; and it had greatH7260 ironH6523 teethH8128: it devouredH399 and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feetH7271: and it was diverse from allH3606 the beastsH2423 that were beforeH6925 it; and it had tenH6236 hornsH7162.

8I considered the hornsH7162, and, beholdH431, there came upH6925 among them anotherH317 hornH7162, a littleH2192 one, beforeH6925 which threeH8532 of the firstH6933 hornsH7162 were plucked upH6925 by the rootsH6132: and, beholdH431, in this hornH7162 were eyesH5870 like the eyesH5870 of a manH606, and a mouthH6433 speakingH4449 greatH7260 things.

9I beheld till thronesH3764 were placed, and one that was ancientH6268 of daysH3118 did sitH3488: his raiment was whiteH2358 as snowH8517, and the hairH8177 of his headH7217 like pureH5343 woolH6015; his throneH3764 was fiery flamesH7631, and the wheelsH1535 thereof burningH1815 fireH5135.

10A fiery stream issued and cameH5312 forthH5312 from beforeH6925 him: thousandH506 thousandsH506 ministered unto him, and ten thousandH506 times ten thousandH506 stoodH6966 beforeH6925 him: the judgmentH1780 was setH6966, and the booksH5609 were openedH6606.

11I beheld at that time becauseH4481 of the voiceH7032 of the greatH7260 wordsH4406 whichH1768 the hornH7162 spake; I beheld evenH1768 till the beastH2423 was slainH6992, and his bodyH1655 destroyedH7, and he was givenH3052 to be burned with fireH785.

12And as for the restH7606 of the beastsH2423, their dominionH7985 was takenH5709 awayH5709: yet their livesH2417 were prolongedH754 for a season and a time.

13I sawH2370 in the nightH3916 visionsH2376, and, beholdH718, there cameH858 with the cloudsH6050 of heavenH8065 one like unto a sonH1247 of manH606, and he cameH858 even to the ancientH6268 of daysH3118, and they broughtH858 him nearH7127 beforeH6925 him.

14And there was givenH3052 him dominionH7985, and gloryH3367, and a kingdomH4437, that allH3606 the peoplesH5972, nationsH524, and languages should serveH6399 him: his dominionH7985 is an everlastingH5957 dominionH7985, whichH1768 shall notH3809 passH5709 awayH5709, and his kingdomH4437 that whichH1768 shall notH3809 be destroyedH2255.
