Daniel 8

1In the third^H7969 year^H8141 of the reign^H4438 of king^H4428 Belshazzar^H1112 a vision^H2377 appeared^H7200 unto me, even unto me, Daniel^H1840, after^H310 that which appeared^H7200 unto me at the first^H8462. 2And I saw^H7200 in the vision^H2377; now it was so, that when I saw^H7200, I was in Shushan^H7800 the palace^H1002, which is in the province^H4082 of Elam^H5867; and I saw^H7200 in the vision^H2377, and I was by the river^H180 Ulai^H195. 3Then I lifted up^H5375 mine eyes^H5869, and saw^H7200, and, behold, there stood^H5975 before^H6440 the river^H180 a^H259 ram^H352 which had two horns^H7161: and the two horns^H7161 were high^H1364; but one^H259 was higher^H1364 than the other^H8145, and the higher^H1364 came up^H5927 last^H314. 4I saw^H7200 the ram^H352 pushing^H5055 westward^H3220, and northward^H6828, and southward^H5045; and no beasts^H2416 could stand^H5975 before^H6440 him, neither was there any that could deliver^H5337 out of his hand^H3027; but he did^H6213 according to his will^H7522, and magnified^H1431 himself. 5And as I was considering^H995, behold, a he^H5795-goat^H6842 came^H935 from the west^H4628 over the face^H6440 of the whole earth^H776, and touched^H5060 not the ground^H776: and the goat^H6842 had a notable^H2380 horn^H7161 between his eyes^H5869. 6And he came^H935 to the ram^H352 that had^H1167 the two horns^H7161, which I saw^H7200 standing^H5975 before^H6440 the river^H180, and ran^H7323 upon him in the fury^H2534 of his power^H3581. 7And I saw^H7200 him come^H5060 close unto^H681 the ram^H352, and he was moved with anger^H4843 against him, and smote^H5221 the ram^H352, and brake^H7665 his two^H8147 horns^H7161; and there was no power^H3581 in the ram^H352 to stand^H5975 before^H6440 him; but he cast him down^H7993 to the ground^H776, and trampled^H7429 upon him; and there was none that could deliver^H5337 the ram^H352 out of his hand^H3027. 8And the he^H6842-goat^H5795 magnified^H1431 himself exceedingly^H3966: and when he^H6842 was strong^H6105, the great^H1419 horn^H7161 was broken^H7665; and instead of it there came up^H5927 four^H702 notable horns toward the four^H702 winds^H7307 of heaven^H8064. 9And out of one^H259 of them came forth^H3318 a little^H4704 horn^H7161, which waxed exceeding^H3499 great^H1431, toward the south^H5045, and toward the east^H4217, and toward the glorious^H6643 land. 10And it waxed great^H1431, even to the host^H6635 of heaven^H8064; and some of the host^H6635 and of the stars^H3556 it cast down^H5307 to the ground^H776, and trampled^H7429 upon them. 11Yea, it magnified^H1431 itself, even to the prince^H8269 of the host^H6635; and it took away^H7311 from him the continual^H8548 burnt-offering, and the place^H4349 of his sanctuary^H4720 was cast down^H7993. 12And the host^H6635 was given^H5414 over to it together with the continual^H8548 burnt-offering through transgression^H6588; and it cast down^H7993 truth^H571 to the ground^H776, and it did its pleasure^H6213 and prospered^H6743. 13Then I heard^H8085 a^H259 holy one^H6918 speaking^H1696; and another^H259 holy one^H259 said^H559 unto that certain^H6422 one who spake^H1696, How long shall be the vision^H2377 concerning the continual^H8548 burnt-offering, and the transgression^H6588 that maketh desolate^H8074, to give^H5414 both the sanctuary^H6944 and the host^H6635 to be trodden under foot^H4823? 14And he said^H559 unto me, Unto two thousand^H505 and three^H7969 hundred^H3967 evenings^H6153 and mornings; then shall the sanctuary^H6944 be cleansed^H6663. 15And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel^H1840, had seen^H7200 the vision^H2377, that I sought^H1245 to understand^H998 it; and, behold, there stood^H5975 before me as the appearance^H4758 of a man^H1397. 16And I heard^H8085 a man's^H120 voice^H6963 between the banks of the Ulai^H195, which called^H7121, and said^H559, Gabriel^H1403, make this^H1975 man to understand^H995 the vision^H4758. 17So he came^H935 near^H681 where I stood^H5977; and when he came^H935, I was affrighted^H1204, and fell^H5307 upon my face^H6440: but he said^H559 unto me, Understand^H995, O son^H1121 of man^H120; for the vision^H2377 belongeth to the time^H6256 of the end^H7093. 18Now as he was speaking^H1696 with me, I fell into a deep sleep^H7290 with my face^H6440 toward the ground^H776; but he touched^H5060 me, and set^H5975 me upright^H5977. 19And he said^H559, Behold, I will make thee know^H3045 what shall be in the latter time^H319 of the indignation^H2195; for it belongeth to the appointed^H4150 time of the end^H7093. 20The ram^H352 which thou sawest^H7200, that had^H1167 the two horns^H7161, they are the kings^H4428 of Media^H4074 and Persia^H6539. 21And the rough^H8163 he-goat^H6842 is the king^H4428 of Greece^H3120: and the great^H1419 horn^H7161 that is between his eyes^H5869 is the first^H7223 king^H4428. 22And as for that which was broken^H7665, in the place whereof four^H702 stood up^H5975, four^H702 kingdoms^H4438 shall stand up^H5975 out of the nation^H1471, but not with his power^H3581. 23And in the latter time^H319 of their kingdom^H4438, when the transgressors^H6586 are come to the full^H8552, a king^H4428 of fierce^H5794 countenance^H6440, and understanding^H995 dark sentences^H2420, shall stand up^H5975. 24And his power^H3581 shall be mighty^H6105, but not by his own power^H3581; and he shall destroy^H7843 wonderfully^H6381, and shall prosper^H6743 and do his pleasure^H6213; and he shall destroy^H7843 the mighty^H6099 ones and the holy^H6918 people^H5971. 25And through his policy^H7922 he shall cause craft^H4820 to prosper^H6743 in his hand^H3027; and he shall magnify^H1431 himself in his heart^H3824, and in their security^H7962 shall he destroy^H7843 many^H7227: he shall also stand up^H5975 against the prince^H8269 of princes^H8269; but he shall be broken^H7665 without^H657 hand^H3027. 26And the vision^H4758 of the evenings^H6153 and mornings^H1242 which hath been told^H559 is true^H571: but shut thou up^H5640 the vision^H2377; for it belongeth to many^H7227 days^H3117 to come. 27And I, Daniel^H1840, fainted^H1961, and was sick^H2470 certain days^H3117; then I rose up^H6965, and did^H6213 the king's^H4428 business^H4399: and I wondered^H8074 at the vision^H4758, but none understood^H995 it.
