007:016 I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him
the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made me
know the interpretation of the things.
007:017 These great animals, which are four, are four kings, who shall
arise out of the earth.
007:018 But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom,
and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.
007:019 Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth animal,
which was diverse from all of them, exceedingly terrible,
whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured,
broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;
007:020 and concerning the ten horns that were on its head,
and the other [horn] which came up, and before which three fell,
even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke great things,
whose look was more stout than its fellows.
007:021 I saw, and the same horn made war with the saints,
and prevailed against them;
007:022 until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to
the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints
possessed the kingdom.
007:023 Thus he said, The fourth animal shall be a fourth kingdom
on earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms,
and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down,

007:024 As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise:
and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse
from the former, and he shall put down three kings.
007:025 He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear
out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change
the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand
until a time and times and half a time.
007:026 But the judgment shall be set, and they shall take away
his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.
007:027 The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms
under the whole sky, shall be given to the people of the saints
of the Most High: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
007:028 Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts
much troubled me, and my face was changed in me:
but I kept the matter in my heart.
008:001 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision
appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared
to me at the first.
008:002 I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was
in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam;
and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
008:003 Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold,
