1 H7969 In the third H8141 year H4438 of the reign H4428 of king H1112 Belshazzar H2377 a vision H7200 appeared [H8738] H1840 unto me, even unto me Daniel H310 , after H7200 that which appeared [H8738] H8462 unto me at the first.

2 H7200 And I saw [H8799] H2377 in a vision H7200 ; and it came to pass, when I saw [H8800] H7800 , that I was at Shushan H1002 in the palace H4082 , which is in the province H5867 of Elam H7200 ; and I saw [H8799] H2377 in a vision H180 , and I was by the river H195 of Ulai.

3 H5375 Then I lifted up [H8799] H5869 mine eyes H7200 , and saw [H8799] H5975 , and, behold, there stood [H8802] H6440 before H180 the river H259 a H352 ram H7161 which had two horns H7161 : and the two horns H1364 were high H259 ; but one H1364 was higher H8145 than the other H1364 , and the higher H5927 came up [H8802] H314 last.

4 H7200 I saw [H8804] H352 the ram H5055 pushing [H8764] H3220 westward H6828 , and northward H5045 , and southward H2416 ; so that no beasts H5975 might stand [H8799] H6440 before H5337 him, neither was there any that could deliver [H8688] H3027 out of his hand H6213 ; but he did [H8804] H7522 according to his will H1431 , and became great [H8689] .

5 H995 And as I was considering [H8688] H5795 , behold, an he H6842 goat H935 came [H8802] H4628 from the west H6440 on the face H776 of the whole earth H5060 , and touched [H8802] H776 not the ground H6842 : and the goat H2380 had a notable H7161 horn H5869 between his eyes.

6 H935 And he came [H8799] H352 to the ram H1167 that had H7161 two horns H7200 , which I had seen [H8804] H5975 standing [H8802] H6440 before H180 the river H7323 , and ran [H8799] H2534 unto him in the fury H3581 of his power.

7 H7200 And I saw [H8804] H5060 him come [H8688] H681 close unto H352 the ram H4843 , and he was moved with choler [H8698] H5221 against him, and smote [H8686] H352 the ram H7665 , and brake [H8762] H8147 his two H7161 horns H3581 : and there was no power H352 in the ram H5975 to stand [H8800] H6440 before H7993 him, but he cast him down [H8686] H776 to the ground H7429 , and stamped [H8799] H5337 upon him: and there was none that could deliver [H8688] H352 the ram H3027 out of his hand.

8 H6842 Therefore the he H5795 goat H3966 waxed very H1431 great [H8689] H6105 : and when he was strong [H8800] H1419 , the great H7161 horn H7665 was broken [H8738] H5927 ; and for it came up [H8799] H702 four H2380 notable ones H702 toward the four H7307 winds H8064 of heaven.

9 H259 And out of one H3318 of them came forth [H8804] H4704 a little H7161 horn H3499 , which waxed exceeding H1431 great [H8799] H5045 , toward the south H4217 , and toward the east H6643 , and toward the pleasant land .

10 H1431 And it waxed great [H8799] H6635 , even to the host H8064 of heaven H5307 ; and it cast down [H8686] H6635 some of the host H3556 and of the stars H776 to the ground H7429 , and stamped [H8799] upon them.

11 H1431 Yea, he magnified [H8689] H8269 himself even to the prince H6635 of the host H8548 , and by him the daily H7311 sacrifice was taken away [H8717] [H8675] H7311 [H8689] H4349 , and the place H4720 of his sanctuary H7993 was cast down [H8717] .

12 H6635 And an host H5414 was given [H8735] H8548 him against the daily H6588 sacrifice by reason of transgression H7993 , and it cast down [H8686] H571 the truth H776 to the ground H6213 ; and it practised [H8804] H6743 , and prospered [H8689] .

13 H8085 Then I heard [H8799] H259 one H6918 saint H1696 speaking [H8764] H259 , and another H6918 saint H559 said [H8799] H6422 unto that certain H1696 saint which spake [H8764] H2377 , How long shall be the vision H8548 concerning the daily H6588 sacrifice, and the transgression H8074 of desolation [H8802] H5414 , to give [H8800] H6944 both the sanctuary H6635 and the host H4823 to be trodden under foot?

14 H559 And he said [H8799] H505 unto me, Unto two thousand H7969 and three H3967 hundred H6153 days H1242 H6944 ; then shall the sanctuary H6663 be cleansed [H8738] .

15 H1840 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel H7200 , had seen [H8800] H2377 the vision H1245 , and sought [H8762] H998 for the meaning H5975 , then, behold, there stood [H8802] H4758 before me as the appearance H1397 of a man.

16 H8085 And I heard [H8799] H120 a man's H6963 voice H195 between the banks of Ulai H7121 , which called [H8799] H559 , and said [H8799] H1403 , Gabriel H1975 , make this H995 man to understand [H8685] H4758 the vision.

17 H935 So he came [H8799] H681 near H5977 where I stood H935 : and when he came [H8800] H1204 , I was afraid [H8738] H5307 , and fell [H8799] H6440 upon my face H559 : but he said [H8799] H995 unto me, Understand [H8685] H1121 , O son H120 of man H6256 : for at the time H7093 of the end H2377 shall be the vision.

18 H1696 Now as he was speaking [H8763] H7290 with me, I was in a deep sleep [H8738] H6440 on my face H776 toward the ground H5060 : but he touched [H8799] H5975 me, and set [H8686] H5977 me upright.

19 H559 And he said [H8799] H3045 , Behold, I will make thee know [H8688] H319 what shall be in the last end H2195 of the indignation H4150 : for at the time appointed H7093 the end shall be .

20 H352 The ram H7200 which thou sawest [H8804] H1167 having H7161 two horns H4428 are the kings H4074 of Media H6539 and Persia.

21 H8163 And the rough H6842 goat H4428 is the king H3120 of Grecia H1419 : and the great H7161 horn H5869 that is between his eyes H7223 is the first H4428 king.

22 H7665 Now that being broken [H8737] H702 , whereas four H5975 stood up [H8799] H702 for it, four H4438 kingdoms H5975 shall stand up [H8799] H1471 out of the nation H3581 , but not in his power.

23 H319 And in the latter time H4438 of their kingdom H6586 , when the transgressors [H8802] H8552 are come to the full [H8687] H4428 , a king H5794 of fierce H6440 countenance H995 , and understanding [H8688] H2420 dark sentences H5975 , shall stand up [H8799] .

24 H3581 And his power H6105 shall be mighty [H8804] H3581 , but not by his own power H7843 : and he shall destroy [H8686] H6381 wonderfully [H8737] H6743 , and shall prosper [H8689] H6213 , and practise [H8804] H7843 , and shall destroy [H8689] H6099 the mighty H6918 and the holy H5971 people.

25 H7922 And through his policy H4820 also he shall cause craft H6743 to prosper [H8689] H3027 in his hand H1431 ; and he shall magnify [H8686] H3824 himself in his heart H7962 , and by peace H7843 shall destroy [H8686] H7227 many H5975 : he shall also stand up [H8799] H8269 against the Prince H8269 of princes H7665 ; but he shall be broken [H8735] H657 without H3027 hand.

26 H4758 And the vision H6153 of the evening H1242 and the morning H559 which was told [H8738] H571 is true H5640 : wherefore shut thou up [H8798] H2377 the vision H7227 ; for it shall be for many H3117 days.

27 H1840 And I Daniel H1961 fainted [H8738] H2470 , and was sick [H8738] H3117 certain days H6965 ; afterward I rose up [H8799] H6213 , and did [H8799] H4428 the king's H4399 business H8074 ; and I was astonished [H8709] H4758 at the vision H995 , but none understood [H8688] it .
