Daniel 8

1In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of kingH4428 BelshazzarH1112 a visionH2377 appearedH7200 unto meH413, evenH1840 unto meH413 DanielH1840, afterH310 that which appearedH7200 unto meH413 at the firstH8462. 2And I sawH7200 in the visionH2377; nowH1961 it was soH1961, that when I sawH7200, I was in Shushan the palace, whichH834 is in the provinceH4082 of ElamH5867; and I sawH7200 in the visionH2377, and I was by the river UlaiH195. 3Then I liftedH5375 upH5927 mineH4480 eyesH5869, and sawH7200, and, beholdH2009, there stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the river a ramH352 whichH5869 had twoH4480 hornsH7161: and the twoH4480 hornsH7161 were highH1364; but one was higherH1364 thanH4480 the otherH259, and the higherH1364 cameH5927 upH5927 lastH314. 4I sawH7200 the ramH352 pushing westwardH3220, and northwardH6828, and southwardH5045; and noH3808 beastsH2416 couldH5337 standH5975 beforeH6440 him, neitherH3808 was there anyH3605 that couldH5337 deliverH5337 outH6440 of his handH3027; but he didH6213 accordingH3027 to his will, and magnifiedH1431 himselfH1431. 5And as I was considering, beholdH2009, an he-goat cameH935 from the westH4628 over the faceH6440 of the wholeH3605 earthH776, and touchedH5060 notH369 the groundH776: and the goatH5795 had a notable hornH7161 betweenH996 his eyesH5869. 6And he cameH935 to the ramH352 that had the two hornsH7161, whichH834 I sawH7200 standingH5975 beforeH6440 the riverH5704, and ranH7323 uponH935 him in the furyH2534 of his powerH3581. 7And I sawH7200 him comeH1961 closeH5060 unto the ramH352, and he was moved with choler againstH413 him, and smoteH5221 the ramH352, and brake his twoH8147 hornsH7161; and there was noH3808 powerH3027 in the ramH352 to standH5975 beforeH6440 him: but he castH7993 him downH5221 to the groundH776, and trampledH7429 uponH1961 him; and there was noneH3808 that couldH5337 deliverH5337 the ramH352 outH6440 of his handH3027. 8And the he-goat magnifiedH1431 himselfH1431 exceedinglyH3966: and when he was strongH1419, the greatH1419 hornH7161 was brokenH7665; and insteadH8478 of it there cameH5927 upH5927 fourH702 notable hornsH7161 towardH5927 the fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064. 9And outH3318 of one of them cameH3318 forthH3318 a little hornH7161, whichH7161 waxed exceeding greatH1431, towardH413 the southH5045, and towardH413 the eastH4217, and towardH413 the glorious land. 10And it waxed greatH1431, evenH5704 to the hostH6635 of heavenH8064; and someH4480 of the hostH6635 and of the starsH3556 it castH5307 downH5307 to the groundH776, and trampledH7429 uponH5307 them. 11Yea, it magnifiedH1431 itselfH1431, evenH5704 to the princeH8269 of the hostH6635; and it tookH7311 awayH7993 from him the continualH8548 burnt offering, and the placeH4349 of his sanctuaryH4720 was castH7993 downH7993. 12And the hostH6635 was givenH5414 over to it togetherH5921 with the continualH8548 burnt offering throughH5921 transgressionH6588; and it castH7993 downH7993 truthH571 to the groundH776, and it didH6213 itsH5414 pleasure and prospered. 13Then I heardH8085 a holyH6944 one speakingH1696; and anotherH259 holyH6944 one saidH559 unto that certainH259 one whichH6635 spake, HowH4970 longH5704 shall be the visionH2377 concerning the continualH8548 burnt offering, and the transgressionH6588 that maketh desolateH8074, to giveH5414 both the sanctuaryH6944 and the hostH6635 to be trodden under foot? 14And he saidH559 unto meH413, Unto twoH3967 thousandH505 and threeH7969 hundredH3967 eveningsH6153 and morningsH1242; then shall the sanctuaryH6944 be cleansed. 15And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when I, evenH853 I DanielH1840, had seenH7200 the visionH2377, that I soughtH1245 to understandH998 it; and, beholdH2009, there stoodH5975 beforeH5048 meH7200 as the appearanceH4758 of a manH1397. 16And I heardH8085 a man’sH120 voiceH6963 betweenH996 the banks of UlaiH195, which calledH7121, and saidH559, GabrielH1403, makeH8085 this manH120 to understandH995 the visionH4758. 17SoH935 he cameH935 nearH6440 whereH413 I stoodH5975; and when he cameH935, I was affrighted, and fellH5307 uponH5921 my faceH6440: but he saidH559 unto meH413, UnderstandH995, O sonH1121 of manH120; for the visionH2377 belongeth to the time of the endH7093. 18NowH1696 as he was speakingH1696 with meH6440, I fellH5921 intoH5921 a deep sleep, with my faceH6440 towardH5921 the groundH776: but he touchedH5060 meH6440, and setH5975 meH6440 uprightH5975. 19And he saidH559, BeholdH2005, I will makeH3045 thee knowH3045 whatH834 shall be in the latterH319 time of the indignationH2195: for it belongeth to the appointedH4150 time of the endH7093. 20The ramH352 whichH834 thou sawest that had the two hornsH7161, they are the kingsH4428 of MediaH4074 and PersiaH6539. 21And the rough he-goat is the kingH4428 of GreeceH3120: and the greatH1419 hornH7161 that is betweenH996 his eyesH5869 is the firstH7223 kingH4428. 22And as for that whichH1471 was brokenH7665, in the placeH8478 whereof fourH702 stoodH5975 upH5975, fourH702 kingdomsH4438 shall standH5975 upH5975 outH1471 of the nationH1471, but notH3808 with his powerH3581. 23And in the latterH319 time of their kingdomH4438, when the transgressorsH6586 are comeH319 to the fullH8552, a kingH4428 of fierceH5794 countenanceH6440, and understandingH995 darkH2420 sentences, shall standH5975 upH5975. 24And his powerH3581 shall be mightyH6099, but notH3808 by his own powerH3581; and he shall destroyH7843 wonderfully, and shall prosperH6743 and doH6213 his pleasure: and he shall destroyH7843 the mightyH6099 onesH6918 and the holyH6918 peopleH5971. 25And throughH3027 his policy he shall causeH657 craft to prosperH6743 in his handH3027; and he shall magnifyH1431 himselfH3824 in his heartH3824, and in their security shall he destroyH7843 manyH7227: he shall also standH5975 upH5975 againstH5921 the princeH8269 of princesH8269; but he shall be brokenH7665 withoutH657 handH3027. 26And the visionH2377 of the eveningsH6153 and morningsH1242 whichH834 hath been toldH559 is trueH571: but shut thou upH5640 the visionH2377; for it belongeth to manyH7227 daysH3117 to come. 27And I DanielH1840 fainted, and was sickH2470 certain daysH3117; then I roseH6965 upH6965, and didH6213 the king’sH4428 businessH4399: and I was astonishedH8074 at the visionH4758, but noneH369 understoodH995 it.
