Agayne: whom he wolde, he set vp: and whom he list, he put downe. ²⁰ But because his herte was so proude, and his stomack set fast vnto wylfulnesse: he was deposed from his kyngly trone, and his magesty was taken from him. ²¹ He was shot out from amonge men, his herte was like a beestes herte, and his dwellynge was with the wylde Asses: he was fayne to eate grasse like an oxe, and his body was wet with the dew off the heauen: till he knewe, that the hyest had power vpon the kyngdomes of men, and setteth ouer them, whom he list.

Beholde, this horne had eyes like a ma, & a mouth speakynge presumptuous thinges. ⁹ I loked till the seates were prepared, ad till the olde aged sat him downe. His clothinge was as white as snowe, and the hayres of his heade like the pure woll.

His power is an euerlastinge power, which shal neuer be put downe: & his kyngdome endureth vncorrupte. ¹⁵ My herte was vexed, & I Daniel had a troubled sprete within me, ad the visions off my heade made me afrayed: ¹⁶ till I gat me vnto one off them that stode by, to knowe the treuth, concerninge all these thinges.

They shall be geuen vnder his power, vntill a tyme, two tymes, and halff a tyme. ²⁶ But the iudgment shalbe kepte, so that his power shalbe taken from him, for he shalbe destroyed, and perish at the last. ²⁷ As for the kyngdome, power and all might that is vnder the heauen: it shal be geuen to the holy people off the most hyest, whose kyngdome is euerlastinge, yee all powers shall serue and obeye him. ²⁸ Thus farre extede ye wordes. Neuerthelesse, I Daniel was so vexed in my thoughtes, that my countenaunce chaunged, but the wordes I kepte still in my herte.
