⁹ For lo!

From the face of the sword of the oppressor, Each, to his own people, will they turn, and, Each, to his own land, will they flee. ¹⁷ A sheep all alone, is Israel, Lions, have driven him away,––At the first, the king of Assyria, devoured him, And, here, at the last, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, hath broken his bones! ¹⁸ Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Behold me! bringing punishment against the king of Babylon, and against his land,––Just as I brought punishment against the king of Assyria. ¹⁹ So will I bring back Israel unto his own pasture, And he shall feed upon Carmel and Bashan; And, in the hill country of Ephraim and Gilead, shall, his soul, be satisfied. ²⁰ In those days, and in that time, Declareth Yahweh, The iniquity of Israel, shall be sought, and, there shall be, none, And the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found; For I will grant pardon to them whom I suffer to remain.

How hath, Babylon, become an astonishment, among the nations! ²⁴ I laid a snare for thee, yea, and thou wast captured, O Babylon, when, thou, wast not aware,––Thou wast found out, yea and taken, For, with Yahweh, hadst thou contended. ²⁵ Yahweh opened, his armoury, and brought out his weapons of indignation,––For, a work, it is, pertaining to My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, in the land of the Chaldeans. ²⁶ Come ye against her from farthest parts, Throw open her granaries, Cast her up as heaps, and devote her to destruction,––Do not let her have, a remnant. ²⁷ Cut up all her bullocks, Let them go down to the slaughter,––Alas for them! For their day, hath come, Their time for punishment. ²⁸ The voice, Of them who are in flight, and, Of such as are escaping, out of the land of Babylon,––To tell in Zion, The avenging of Yahweh our God, The avenging of his temple. ²⁹ Publish against Babylon, ye chiefs of all who tread the bow––Encamp against her round about, Let there be none to escape, Recompense to her according to her work, According to all which she did, do ye to her,––For, Against Yahweh, hath she acted presumptuously, Against the Holy One of Israel. ³⁰ Therefore, shall her young men fall in her broadways,––And, all her men of war, be silenced in that day, Declareth Yahweh. ³¹ Behold me! against thee, most insolent one, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh of hosts; For thy day, hath come, Thy time for punishment; ³² So shall the most insolent one stumble, and fall, And he shall have none, to lift him up,––And I will kindle a fire in his cities, which shall devour all who are round about him.
³³ Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts––Oppressed, were the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, together,––And, all who took them captive, Held them fast, Refused to let them go:–– ³⁴ Their Redeemer, can hold fast, Yahweh of hosts, is his name, He will, thoroughly plead, their plea,––That he may quiet the earth, And disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon. ³⁵ A sword, is over the Chaldeans, Declareth Yahweh,––And against the inhabitants of Babylon, And against her princes, And against her wise men: ³⁶ A sword, is against the praters, And they shall be shewn to be foolish, A sword, is against her heroes, And they shall be dismayed: ³⁷ A sword, is against his horses and against his chariots, and against all the rabble that are in her midst, And they shall become women,––A sword, is against her treasures, And they shall be made a prey: ³⁸ A drought, is against her waters, And they shall be dried up,––For, a land of images, it is, And, with their shocking things, they act as men who are mad: ³⁹ Therefore, shall the criers, dwell with, the howlers, Yea ostriches, shall dwell therein,––So shall it be dwelt in no more for ever, Neither shall it be inhabited, unto generation after generation. ⁴⁰ Like the divine overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and her neighbours, Declareth Yahweh,––There shall not dwell there––a man, Nor sojourn therein––a son of the earth–born. ⁴¹ Lo! a people coming in from the North,––Yea, a great nation, and many kings, shall be roused up out of the remote parts of the earth: ⁴² Bow and javelin, shall they grasp, Cruel, are they, and will not have compassion, Their voice, like the sea, will roar, And, on horses, will they ride,––Set in array, as one man, for battle, Against thee, O daughter of Babylon! ⁴³ The king of Babylon hath heard, the report of them, And unnerved, are his hands,––Anguish, hath seized him, Writhing pain, as a woman in child–birth. ⁴⁴ Lo! as a lion, shall he come up from the majesty of the Jordan, Unto the pasture perennial, But I will wink––I will make them run away therefrom, Who, then shall be the Chosen One whom, against it, I may set in charge?

And who, is, the Shepherd that shall stand before, me? ⁴⁵ Therefore, hear ye, The counsel of Yahweh, which he hath counselled against Babylon, And his devices which he hath devised against the land of the Chaldeans,––Surely the little ones of the flock, shall drag them away, Surely he will cause the pasture to be astounded over them. ⁴⁶ At the noise of the taking of Babylon, the earth, trembled,––And, the outcry, among the nations, was heard.

¹¹ Polish the arrows, Lay hold of the shields,––Yahweh hath roused the spirit of the kings of the Medes, For, against Babylon, his purpose is, to destroy her,––For it is, The avenging of Yahweh, The avenging of his temple.

⁶ And the punishment of the daughter of my people hath grown greater than the punishment of Sodom,––which was overthrown as in a moment, when no hands had been laid violently upon her.

⁷ Into myriads––like the bud of the field, made I thee, And thou didst increase, and become well–grown, and didst attain to most excellent adornments,––Thy breasts, were well–formed, And, thy hair, was grown, But, thou thyself, wast utterly naked.

⁶ In that day, lifted I up my hand to them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt,––into a land that I had looked out for them, flowing with milk and honey, The beauty, it was, of all lands.

¹⁵ Yet, even I, lifted up my hand to them, in the desert,––That I would not bring them into the land which I had given to them, flowing with milk and honey, The beauty, it was, of all lands:

⁹ Wilt thou, really say, God, am I, before him who is slaying thee; When, thou, art a man and not a God, in the hand of them who are piercing thee?

²⁴ There, is Persia, with all her multitude, round about her grave,––All of them, thrust through, The fallen by the sword, Who have descended, uncircumcised, into the earth below, Who made themselves a terror in the land of the living, And so they have borne their confusion, with them who descend into the pit:

²¹ Because, with the side and with the shoulder, ye do thrust, And, with your horns, ye do push all the sick,––Until you have scattered them abroad,

⁸ After many days, shalt thou muster thy forces, In the afterpart of the years, shalt thou enter, Into the land of the remnant brought back from the sword, Gathered from among many peoples, Upon the mountains of Israel, which have been waste continually,––But, the same, from among the peoples, hath been brought forth. And they shall dwell in security, all of them.

¹⁶ Therefore wilt thou come up, against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land,––In the afterpart of the days, shall it be, that I will suffer thee to enter upon my land, To the end the nations, may know me, when I hallow myself in thee before their eyes, O Gog!

¹⁴ And, a meal–offering, shalt thou offer thereupon, morning by morning, of the sixth of an ephah, and, of oil, the third part of a hin, to moisten the fine meal,––a meal–offering to Yahweh, age–abiding statutes continually.

³² As for this image, its head, was of fine gold, its breast and its arms, were of silver,––its belly and its thighs, of bronze;

³⁴ Thou didst look, until that a stone tare itself away, not by the aid of hands, and smote the image upon its feet, which were of iron and clay,––and they were broken in pieces. ³⁵ Then were broken in pieces at once, the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, and became like chaff out of the summer threshing–floors, and the wind, carried them away, and, no place, was found for them,––but, the stone that smote the image, became a mighty rock, and filled all the land.

³⁹ And, after thee, shall arise another kingdom, inferior to thee,––and another––a third kingdom, of bronze, which shall bear rule throughout all the earth.

⁴⁴ And, in the days of those kings, shall the God of the heavens, set up, a kingdom which, to the ages, shall not be destroyed, and, the kingdom, to another people, shall not be left,––it shall break in pieces and make an end of all these kingdoms, but, itself, shall stand to the ages. ⁴⁵ Forasmuch as thou sawest that, out of the rock, a stone tare itself away, but not with hands, and brake in pieces the clay, the iron, the bronze, the silver and the gold, the mighty God, hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. Exact then is the dream, and trusty its interpretation.
⁴⁶ Then, King Nebuchadnezzar, fell upon his face, and, unto Daniel, paid adoration; and, a present and sweet odours, gave he word to pour out unto him.

⁴⁸ Then, the king, exalted, Daniel, and, many large presents, gave he unto him, and set him to be ruler over all the province of Babylon,––and chief of the nobles, over all the wise men of Babylon. ⁴⁹ And, Daniel, desired of the king, and he appointed––over the business of the province of Babylon––Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego,––but, Daniel himself, was in the gate of the king.

¹³ I was looking, in the visions of my head, upon my bed, when lo! a watcher and holy one, outer the heavens, coming down.

²³ And, whereas the king saw a watcher and holy one coming down out of the heavens, who said, Hew ye down the tree and despoil it, nevertheless, the stock of its roots––in the earth, leave ye, even in a bond of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field,––and, with the dew of the heavens, let it be drenched, and, along with the wild beasts of the field, be its portion, until that, seven seasons, pass over it.

³¹ While yet the word was in the mouth of the king, a voice, out of the heavens, fell,––Unto thee, is it said, O Nebuchadnezzar the king, The kingdom, hath departed from thee;

¹⁴ Then, I have heard concerning thee, that, the spirit of the gods, is in thee,––and, light and intelligence and distinguished wisdom, are found in thee.

¹⁹ and, for the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, races and tongues, used to tremble and to withdraw falteringly from before him,––Whom he would, he slew, and, whom he would, he kept alive, and, whom he would, he set up, and, whom he would, he put down. ²⁰ But, when uplifted was his heart and, his spirit, became obstinate so as to act arrogantly, he was put down from the throne of his kingdom, and, his dignity, took they from him;

²³ but, against the Lord of the heavens, hast uplifted thyself, and, the vessels of his house, have they brought before thee, and, thou, and thy nobles, thy wives and thy concubines, have been drinking, wine, therein, and, gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which see not nor hear nor know, hast thou praised,––whereas, God, in whose hand thy breath is and whose are all thy ways, him, hast thou not glorified.

³⁰ In that night, was slain––Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldeans. ³¹ And, Darius the Mede, received the kingdom,––when about sixty–two years of age.

² and, over these, three confidential ministers, of whom, Daniel, was first,––that, to them, these satraps should render an account, and, the king, not be suffering loss. ³ Then, this Daniel, signalised himself, above the ministers and the satraps, because, a distinguished spirit, was in him, and, the king, thought to set him up over all the kingdom,

²⁸ And, this Daniel, prospered in the reign of Darius,––and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

¹ In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel, beheld, a dream, and visions of his head upon his bed,––then, the dream, he wrote, the sum of the matters, he told. ² Daniel spake and said, I was looking, in my vision [which came] with the night,––when, lo! the four winds of the heavens, bursting forth upon the great sea;

⁵ And, lo! another wild beast, a second, resembling a bear, and, on one side, was it raised up, with three ribs in its mouth, between its teeth,––and, thus, were they saying to it, Rise! devour much flesh. ⁶ After that, I was looking, and lo! another like a leopard, and it, had four wings of a bird upon its back,––and four heads, had the wild beast, and dominion, was given to it, ⁷ After that, I was looking in the visions of the night, when lo! a fourth wild beast, terrible and well–hipped and exceeding strong, and it had, large teeth of iron, it devoured and brake in pieces, and, the residue––with its feet, it trampled down,––and, it, was diverse from all the wild beasts that were before it, and it had, ten horns. ⁸ I was considering the horns, when lo! another horn, a little one, came up among them, and, three of the former horns, were uprooted from before it,––and lo! eyes, like the eyes of a man, in this horn, and, a mouth, speaking great things.

¹¹ I continued looking, then because of the sound of the great words which the horn was speaking, I continued looking, until that the wild beast, was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning of the fire.

¹³ I continued looking in the visions of the night, when lo! with the clouds of the heavens, one like a son of man, was coming,––and, unto the Ancient of days, he approached, and, before him, they brought him near;

¹⁵ The spirit of, me, Daniel, was grieved in the midst of the sheath,––and, the visions of my head, terrified me. ¹⁶ I drew near unto one of them who stood by, and made exact enquiry of him, concerning all this,––so he told me, and, the interpretation of the things, made he known unto me.

¹⁶ I drew near unto one of them who stood by, and made exact enquiry of him, concerning all this,––so he told me, and, the interpretation of the things, made he known unto me. ¹⁷ These great wild beasts, which are four,––are four kings who shall arise out of the earth; ¹⁸ but the holy ones of the Highest, shall receive the kingdom,––and shall possess the kingdom for the age, yea for the age of ages. ¹⁹ Then desired I to be sure, concerning the fourth wild beast, which was diverse from all of them,––exceeding terrible, whose, teeth, were iron, and, his claws, of bronze, he devoured, brake in pieces, and, the residue––with his feet, he trampled down; ²⁰ also concerning the ten horns, which were in his head, and the other, which came up, and there fell––from among them that were before it––three,––and this horn which had, eyes, and, a mouth, speaking great things, and, his look, was more proud than his fellows:

²⁰ also concerning the ten horns, which were in his head, and the other, which came up, and there fell––from among them that were before it––three,––and this horn which had, eyes, and, a mouth, speaking great things, and, his look, was more proud than his fellows: ²¹ I continued looking, when, this horn, made war with the holy ones,––and prevailed against them: ²² until that the Ancient of Days, came, and, justice, was granted to the holy ones of the Highest,––and, the time, arrived, that the holy ones should possess, the kingdom. ²³ Thus, he said, The fourth wild beast, is a fourth kingdom which shall be in the earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms,––and shall devour all the earth, and shall trample it down, and break it in pieces.

²³ Thus, he said, The fourth wild beast, is a fourth kingdom which shall be in the earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms,––and shall devour all the earth, and shall trample it down, and break it in pieces. ²⁴ And, the ten horns of that kingdom, are ten kings who will arise,––and, another, will arise after them, and, he, will be diverse from the former ones, and, three kings, will he cast down; ²⁵ and, words against the Most High, will he speak, and, the holy ones of the Highest, will he afflict,––and will hope to change times and law, and they will be given into his hand, for a season and seasons and the dividing of a season,

²⁵ and, words against the Most High, will he speak, and, the holy ones of the Highest, will he afflict,––and will hope to change times and law, and they will be given into his hand, for a season and seasons and the dividing of a season, ²⁶ but, Judgment, will take its seat,––and, his dominion, will they take away, to destroy and make disappear unto an end.

²⁶ but, Judgment, will take its seat,––and, his dominion, will they take away, to destroy and make disappear unto an end.

²⁸ Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, greatly did my thoughts terrify me, and, my bright looks, were changed upon me, but, the matter––in mine own heart, I kept.

²⁸ Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, greatly did my thoughts terrify me, and, my bright looks, were changed upon me, but, the matter––in mine own heart, I kept.

² So then I saw, in the vision, and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was in Shusan the fortress, which is in Persia the province,––yea I saw it in a vision, when, I, was by the river Ulai. ³ So then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and lo! a ram, standing before the river, and, it, had two horns,––and, the two horns, were high, but, the one, was higher than the other, and, the higher, had come up, last. ⁴ I saw the ram, pushing strongly westward and northward and southward, so that no wild beast could stand before him, and none could deliver out of his hand,––but he did according to his own pleasure, and shewed himself great. ⁵ Now, I, was observing, when lo! a he–goat, coming in out of the west, over the face of all the earth, but it meddled not with the earth,––and, the goat, had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.

⁵ Now, I, was observing, when lo! a he–goat, coming in out of the west, over the face of all the earth, but it meddled not with the earth,––and, the goat, had a conspicuous horn between his eyes. ⁶ So then he came up to the ram having the two horns, which I had seen, standing before the river,––and ran unto him, in the fury of his strength. ⁷ Yea I saw him coming close upon the ram, and he was enraged at him, and smote the ram, and brake in pieces both his horns, and there was no strength in the ram to stand before him,––but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled him underfoot, and there was none could deliver the ram out of his power.

⁷ Yea I saw him coming close upon the ram, and he was enraged at him, and smote the ram, and brake in pieces both his horns, and there was no strength in the ram to stand before him,––but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled him underfoot, and there was none could deliver the ram out of his power. ⁸ But, the he–goat, shewed himself very great,––and, when he had become mighty, the great horn, was broken in pieces, and there came up afterwards four, in its stead, towards the four winds of the heavens;

⁸ But, the he–goat, shewed himself very great,––and, when he had become mighty, the great horn, was broken in pieces, and there came up afterwards four, in its stead, towards the four winds of the heavens; ⁹ and, out of the first of them, came forth a little horn,––which became exceedingly great, against the south and against the east, and against the beautiful [land]; ¹⁰ yea it became great as far as the host of the heavens,––and caused to fall, to the earth, some of the host and some of the stars, and trampled them underfoot;

¹⁰ yea it became great as far as the host of the heavens,––and caused to fall, to the earth, some of the host and some of the stars, and trampled them underfoot; ¹¹ even as far as the ruler of the host, shewed he his greatness,––and, because of him, was taken away the continual [ascending–sacrifice], and the place of the sanctuary, was cast down;

¹¹ even as far as the ruler of the host, shewed he his greatness,––and, because of him, was taken away the continual [ascending–sacrifice], and the place of the sanctuary, was cast down;

¹¹ even as far as the ruler of the host, shewed he his greatness,––and, because of him, was taken away the continual [ascending–sacrifice], and the place of the sanctuary, was cast down; ¹² and, a host, was set over the continual [ascending–sacrifice], by transgression,––and faithfulness, was cast down, to the ground, and so he acted with effect, and succeeded.

¹² and, a host, was set over the continual [ascending–sacrifice], by transgression,––and faithfulness, was cast down, to the ground, and so he acted with effect, and succeeded.

¹² and, a host, was set over the continual [ascending–sacrifice], by transgression,––and faithfulness, was cast down, to the ground, and so he acted with effect, and succeeded. ¹³ Then heard I a certain holy one, speaking,––and another holy one said to that certain holy one who was speaking––How long is the vision of the continual [ascending–sacrifice] as taken away, and the transgression which astoundeth, for both sanctuary and host to be given over to be trampled underfoot? ¹⁴ And he said unto him, Until two thousand and three hundred evening–mornings,––then shall the sanctuary, be vindicated.
¹⁵ And it came to pass, when, I Daniel, had seen the vision,––and had sought discernment, that lo! there was standing before me, as the appearance of a man.

¹⁵ And it came to pass, when, I Daniel, had seen the vision,––and had sought discernment, that lo! there was standing before me, as the appearance of a man.

¹⁵ And it came to pass, when, I Daniel, had seen the vision,––and had sought discernment, that lo! there was standing before me, as the appearance of a man. ¹⁶ Then heard I a human voice, between [the banks of] the Ulai,––which cried out, and said, Gabriel! cause this man to understand the revelation. ¹⁷ So he came near where I stood, and, when he came, I was terrified, and fell upon my face,––but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man, that, to the time of the end, belongeth the vision.

¹⁷ So he came near where I stood, and, when he came, I was terrified, and fell upon my face,––but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man, that, to the time of the end, belongeth the vision.

¹⁹ Then said he, Behold me! causing thee to know, that which shall come to pass in the afterpart of the indignation,––for, at an appointed time, shall be an end. ²⁰ The ram which thou sawest, having the two horns, representeth the kings of Media and Persia; ²¹ and, the he–goat, is the king of Greece,––and, the great horn which was between his eyes, the same, is the first king. ²² Now, as for its being broken in pieces, whereupon there stood up four in its stead, four kingdoms, out of his nation, shall stand up, but not with his strength; ²³ but, in the aftertime of their kingdom, when transgressions, have filled up their measure,––there will stand up a king of mighty presence, and skilful in dissimulation;

²³ but, in the aftertime of their kingdom, when transgressions, have filled up their measure,––there will stand up a king of mighty presence, and skilful in dissimulation; ²⁴ and his strength, will be mighty, but not through his own strength, and, wonderfully, will he destroy, and succeed and act with effect,––and will destroy mighty ones, and the people of holy ones;

²⁴ and his strength, will be mighty, but not through his own strength, and, wonderfully, will he destroy, and succeed and act with effect,––and will destroy mighty ones, and the people of holy ones; ²⁵ and, by his cunning, will he both cause deceit to succeed in his hand, and, in his own heart, will he shew himself to be great, and, by their careless security, will he destroy many,––and, against the ruler of rulers, will he stand up, but, without hand, shall be broken in pieces.

²⁵ and, by his cunning, will he both cause deceit to succeed in his hand, and, in his own heart, will he shew himself to be great, and, by their careless security, will he destroy many,––and, against the ruler of rulers, will he stand up, but, without hand, shall be broken in pieces. ²⁶ Now, the revelation of the evening and the morning which hath been told, faithful, indeed it is,––but, thou, close up the vision, because it is for many days. ²⁷ Now, as for me Daniel, then was I sick for days, but I arose and did the business of the king,––and, though I was confounded concerning the revelation, yet could no one discern it.

² in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived by the writings,––the number of the years, as to which the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah the prophet, to fulfill the desolations of Jerusalem, seventy years.

²¹ while yet I was speaking in prayer, then, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in vision at the beginning, wearied with rapid flight, touched me, about the time of the evening present. ²² Yea he came, and spake with me,––and said––O Daniel! now, have I come forth, to teach thee understanding. ²³ At the beginning of thy supplications, came forth a word, I, therefore, am arrived to tell, because, a man delighted in, thou art,––mark then the word, and have understanding in the revelation:––

²⁶ And, after the sixty–two weeks, shall the Anointed One, be cut off, and have, nothing,––and, the city and the sanctuary, will one destroy with the Prince, and so will his own end come with an overwhelming flood, howbeit, up to the full end of the war, are decreed astounding things. ²⁷ And he will confirm a covenant to the many, for one week,––but, in the middle of the week, will cause sacrifice and present to cease, and, in his stead, [shall be] the horrid abomination that astoundeth, even till, a full end, and that a decreed one, shall be poured out on him that astoundeth.

²⁷ And he will confirm a covenant to the many, for one week,––but, in the middle of the week, will cause sacrifice and present to cease, and, in his stead, [shall be] the horrid abomination that astoundeth, even till, a full end, and that a decreed one, shall be poured out on him that astoundeth.

¹ In the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia, a matter, was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and faithful was the matter, but [concerned] a great warfare, and he marked the word, and had understanding in the revelation. ² In those days, I, Daniel, was mourning three sevens of days:

⁵ then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and lo! a man, clothed in linen,––whose loins, were girded with the bright gold of Uphaz;

⁷ And, I, Daniel, alone, beheld the revelation, and, the men who were with me, beheld not the revelation,––in truth, a great terror, had fallen upon them, and they had fled while hiding themselves.

⁷ And, I, Daniel, alone, beheld the revelation, and, the men who were with me, beheld not the revelation,––in truth, a great terror, had fallen upon them, and they had fled while hiding themselves. ⁸ I, therefore, was left alone, and beheld this great revelation, and there remained in me no strength,––but, my freshness, was turned upon me into disfigurement, and I retained no strength.

⁸ I, therefore, was left alone, and beheld this great revelation, and there remained in me no strength,––but, my freshness, was turned upon me into disfigurement, and I retained no strength.

⁸ I, therefore, was left alone, and beheld this great revelation, and there remained in me no strength,––but, my freshness, was turned upon me into disfigurement, and I retained no strength. ⁹ So then I heard the sound of his words,––and, when I heard the sound of his words, then, I myself, came to be in a deep sleep upon my face, with, my face, to the earth.
¹⁰ And lo! a hand, touched me; and roused me up on my knees and the palms of my hands. ¹¹ Then said he unto me, O Daniel! man greatly delighted in! have understanding in the words which, I, am about to speak unto thee, and stand up where thou art, for, now, have I been sent unto thee. And, when he had spoken with me this word, I stood up trembling.

¹¹ Then said he unto me, O Daniel! man greatly delighted in! have understanding in the words which, I, am about to speak unto thee, and stand up where thou art, for, now, have I been sent unto thee. And, when he had spoken with me this word, I stood up trembling. ¹² Then said he unto me, Do not fear, Daniel, for, from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard; and, I, am come, by reason of thy words.

¹⁴ So then I am come to let thee understand that which shall befall thy people in the afterpart of the days,––for yet is the vision for [those] days.

¹⁶ Then lo! like the similitude of the sons of men, one was touching my lips,––so I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him who was standing before me, O my lord! By the revelation, my pains have seized me, and I retain no strength.

¹⁸ Then again there touched me one like in appearance to a son of earth, and he strengthened me.

²⁰ And he said, Knowest thou wherefore I am come unto thee? But, now, must I return to fight with the ruler of Persia; I, therefore am going forth, and lo! the ruler of Greece, is coming. ²¹ Howbeit I will tell thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth,––but there is no one who holdeth strongly with me concerning these things, save Michael your ruler.

¹ I, therefore, in the first year of Darius the Mede, was at my station to strengthen and embolden him; ² and, now, the truth, I will tell thee:––Lo! there are, yet three kings, to arise––belonging to Persia, and, the fourth, will amass greater riches than they all, and, when he hath strengthened himself in his riches, the whole, will stir up, the kingdom of Greece.

² and, now, the truth, I will tell thee:––Lo! there are, yet three kings, to arise––belonging to Persia, and, the fourth, will amass greater riches than they all, and, when he hath strengthened himself in his riches, the whole, will stir up, the kingdom of Greece. ³ And so a hero king, will arise,––and wield great authority, and do according to his own pleasure;

³ And so a hero king, will arise,––and wield great authority, and do according to his own pleasure; ⁴ but, when he hath arisen, his kingdom, shall be broken in pieces, and be divided, toward the four winds of the heavens,––but not to his own posterity, nor according to his own authority which he wielded, for his kingdom, shall be uprooted, even for others besides these.

¹¹ Then will the king of the south, be enraged, and go forth and fight with him, with the king of the north,––and will raise a great multitude, but the multitude, will be delivered, into his hand.

¹⁶ So shall he that cometh against him do according to his own pleasure, and, none, shall stand before him,––therefore will he take his stand in the beautiful land, and it will languish and be exhausted in his hand.

²¹ Then will rise up in his stead, one despised, and they will not lay upon him the dignity of the kingdom,––but he will come in unexpectedly, and strengthen the kingdom by flatteries;

²¹ Then will rise up in his stead, one despised, and they will not lay upon him the dignity of the kingdom,––but he will come in unexpectedly, and strengthen the kingdom by flatteries; ²² and, the arms of an overflowing flood, will sweep all before him, and they shall be broken in pieces,––moreover also, the prince of a covenant; ²³ and, by reason of the leaguing against him, he will work deceitfully, and will come up and become strong, with a small nation. ²⁴ Unexpectedly, even into the rich places of the province, will he enter, and will do what neither his fathers nor his father’s fathers had done, prey and spoil and substance––among them, will he scatter,––and, against strongholds, will he devise plots even until a (convenient) time.

²⁴ Unexpectedly, even into the rich places of the province, will he enter, and will do what neither his fathers nor his father’s fathers had done, prey and spoil and substance––among them, will he scatter,––and, against strongholds, will he devise plots even until a (convenient) time. ²⁵ Then will he stir up his strength and his heart, against the king of the south, with a great army, and, the king of the south, will wage war, with a great and exceedingly mighty army,––but will make no stand, for they will devise against him plots;

²⁵ Then will he stir up his strength and his heart, against the king of the south, with a great army, and, the king of the south, will wage war, with a great and exceedingly mighty army,––but will make no stand, for they will devise against him plots; ²⁶ and, they who have been eating his delicacies, will break him in pieces, and, his army, will he overwhelm like a flood,––and many wounded, will fall. ²⁷ Now, as for the two kings, their heart, will be set on acting wickedly, and, at one table, will they speak, falsehood,––but it shall not succeed, for yet is the end for an appointed time.

²⁷ Now, as for the two kings, their heart, will be set on acting wickedly, and, at one table, will they speak, falsehood,––but it shall not succeed, for yet is the end for an appointed time. ²⁸ So then he will return to his own land, with great substance, with, his heart, set upon a holy covenant; yea he will act with effect, and return to his own land.

²⁸ So then he will return to his own land, with great substance, with, his heart, set upon a holy covenant; yea he will act with effect, and return to his own land. ²⁹ At the appointed time, will he again enter the south,––but it shall not be like the former, nor like the latter. ³⁰ Then will come in against him the ships of Cyprus, and he will be disheartened, and again have indignation against a holy covenant, and will act with effect,––and again gain intelligence, concerning them who are forsaking a holy covenant.

³⁰ Then will come in against him the ships of Cyprus, and he will be disheartened, and again have indignation against a holy covenant, and will act with effect,––and again gain intelligence, concerning them who are forsaking a holy covenant. ³¹ And, arms, from him, will arise,––and will profane the sanctuary, the fortress, and will set aside the continual [ascending–sacrifice], and place the horrid abomination that astoundeth.

³¹ And, arms, from him, will arise,––and will profane the sanctuary, the fortress, and will set aside the continual [ascending–sacrifice], and place the horrid abomination that astoundeth.

³¹ And, arms, from him, will arise,––and will profane the sanctuary, the fortress, and will set aside the continual [ascending–sacrifice], and place the horrid abomination that astoundeth. ³² And, them who are ready to deal lawlessly with a covenant, will he make impious by flatteries,––but, the people who know their God, will be strong and act with effect.

³² And, them who are ready to deal lawlessly with a covenant, will he make impious by flatteries,––but, the people who know their God, will be strong and act with effect.

³² And, them who are ready to deal lawlessly with a covenant, will he make impious by flatteries,––but, the people who know their God, will be strong and act with effect. ³³ And, they who make the people wise, will impart understanding to the many,––yet shall they be brought low, by sword and by flame, by captivity and by prey, for some days;

³³ And, they who make the people wise, will impart understanding to the many,––yet shall they be brought low, by sword and by flame, by captivity and by prey, for some days;

³³ And, they who make the people wise, will impart understanding to the many,––yet shall they be brought low, by sword and by flame, by captivity and by prey, for some days; ³⁴ but, when they are brought low, they shall be helped with a little help,––and many, will join themselves unto them, by flatteries;

³⁴ but, when they are brought low, they shall be helped with a little help,––and many, will join themselves unto them, by flatteries; ³⁵ and, of them who make wise, some shall be brought low, to refine them, and to purify and make white, up to the time of the end,––for yet is it for an appointed time.

³⁵ and, of them who make wise, some shall be brought low, to refine them, and to purify and make white, up to the time of the end,––for yet is it for an appointed time. ³⁶ And the king, will do according to his own pleasure, and will exalt himself, and magnify himself against every GOD, yea, against the GOD of GODS, will he speak wonderful things,––and will succeed, until exhausted is the indignation, for, what is decreed, must be done;

³⁶ And the king, will do according to his own pleasure, and will exalt himself, and magnify himself against every GOD, yea, against the GOD of GODS, will he speak wonderful things,––and will succeed, until exhausted is the indignation, for, what is decreed, must be done;

³⁶ And the king, will do according to his own pleasure, and will exalt himself, and magnify himself against every GOD, yea, against the GOD of GODS, will he speak wonderful things,––and will succeed, until exhausted is the indignation, for, what is decreed, must be done;

³⁶ And the king, will do according to his own pleasure, and will exalt himself, and magnify himself against every GOD, yea, against the GOD of GODS, will he speak wonderful things,––and will succeed, until exhausted is the indignation, for, what is decreed, must be done; ³⁷ and, for the god of his fathers, will he have no regard, nor, for the delight of women, nor for any god, will he have regard,––for, against all, will he magnify himself.

³⁷ and, for the god of his fathers, will he have no regard, nor, for the delight of women, nor for any god, will he have regard,––for, against all, will he magnify himself. ³⁸ Howbeit, to the god of the fortresses, in his place, will he give honour,––even to a god whom his fathers, knew not, will he give honour, with gold and with silver and with precious stones and with articles of delight. ³⁹ And he will prepare, for the strongholds of the fortress of the sea, the people of an alien god, whom he will acknowledge––will greatly honour,––and will give them authority over the many, and, the soil, will he apportion for a price. ⁴⁰ And, in the time of the end, will the king of the south, push at him, and the king of the north, will rush against him, with chariots and with horsemen, and with many ships,––and he will enter the lands, and overwhelm and pass over;

⁴⁰ And, in the time of the end, will the king of the south, push at him, and the king of the north, will rush against him, with chariots and with horsemen, and with many ships,––and he will enter the lands, and overwhelm and pass over; ⁴¹ yea he will enter the beautiful land, and, many [lands], shall be laid low,––but, these, shall be delivered out of his hand, Edom and Moab, and the first portion of the sons of Ammon; ⁴² yea he will thrust forth his hand against the lands,––and, the land of Egypt, shall have no deliverance; ⁴³ and he will have authority over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the delightful things of Egypt,––with Libyans and Ethiopians among his followers; ⁴⁴ but, tidings, will terrify him, out of the east, and out of the north,––therefore will he go forth with great fury, to destroy and to devote many; ⁴⁵ and will plant his palace–home between the seas, towards the beautiful holy mountain, but shall come to his end, with none to help him.

⁴⁵ and will plant his palace–home between the seas, towards the beautiful holy mountain, but shall come to his end, with none to help him.

⁴ But, thou, Daniel, close up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end,––many will run to and fro, and knowledge, shall abound.
⁵ Then, I, Daniel, looked, and lo! two others, standing,––one on this side of the bank of the river, and one on that side of the bank of the river.

⁵ Then, I, Daniel, looked, and lo! two others, standing,––one on this side of the bank of the river, and one on that side of the bank of the river. ⁶ And one said to the man clothed with linen, who was upon the waters of the river, How long shall be the end of the wonders?

⁶ And one said to the man clothed with linen, who was upon the waters of the river, How long shall be the end of the wonders? ⁷ And I heard the man clothed with linen who was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left unto the heavens, and sware by him that liveth unto times age–abiding,––For a set time and times and a half, and, when the dispersion of a part of the holy people, is brought to an end, then shall come to an end all these things.

⁷ And I heard the man clothed with linen who was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left unto the heavens, and sware by him that liveth unto times age–abiding,––For a set time and times and a half, and, when the dispersion of a part of the holy people, is brought to an end, then shall come to an end all these things.

⁷ And I heard the man clothed with linen who was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left unto the heavens, and sware by him that liveth unto times age–abiding,––For a set time and times and a half, and, when the dispersion of a part of the holy people, is brought to an end, then shall come to an end all these things. ⁸ And, I, heard, but could not understand,––so I said, O my lord! what shall be the issue of these things?

⁸ And, I, heard, but could not understand,––so I said, O my lord! what shall be the issue of these things? ⁹ Then said he, Go thy way, Daniel; for closed up and sealed are the words, until the time of the end.

¹¹ and, from the time of the taking away of the continual [ascending–sacrifice], and the placing of the horrid abomination that astoundeth, [shall be] one thousand two hundred and ninety days.

¹³ But, thou, go thy way to the end,––and thou shalt rest, and shalt rise to thy lot at the end of the days.

³ and I said unto her, Many days, shalt thou tarry for me, thou shalt not be unchaste, neither shalt thou become another man’s,––moreover also, I, [will tarry] for thee. ⁴ For, many days, shall the sons of Israel tarry, without king, and without ruler, and without sacrifice, and without pillar; and without ephod, or household gods.

⁸ And, the remnant of Jacob, shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the jungle, as a young lion among flocks of sheep,––who, if he passeth by, both treadeth down––and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.

³ For yet is the vision for an appointed time, still, it presseth towards an end, and will not deceive,––if it tarry, wait thou for it, for it, surely cometh,––will not be too late.

¹⁶ I heard, and I trembled within me, at the voice, my lips, quivered, decay, entered, my bones, and, in my limbs, I trembled,––though I am to find rest, in the day of distress, when their invader, cometh up against the people.

⁹ Then said I, What are these, my lord? And the messenger who was speaking with me, said unto me, I, will shew thee what these, are.

⁹ Then said I, What are these, my lord? And the messenger who was speaking with me, said unto me, I, will shew thee what these, are. ¹⁰ So the man who was standing among the myrtle–trees responded, and said,––These, are they whom Yahweh, hath sent, to go to and fro through the earth. ¹¹ Then responded they to the messenger of Yahweh, who was standing among the myrtle–trees, and said, We have gone to and fro through the earth,––and lo! all the earth, resteth and is quiet. ¹² Then the messenger of Yahweh responded, and said, O Yahweh of hosts! How long wilt, thou, not have compassion upon Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah,––against which thou hast had indignation these seventy years?

¹⁸ Then lifted I up mine eyes and looked,––and lo! Four Horns. ¹⁹ And I said unto the messenger who was speaking with me, What are these? And he said unto me, These, are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.

¹ Then lifted I up mine eyes and looked, and lo! a Man,––and, in his hand, a Measuring Line.

³ And lo! the messenger who was talking with me, coming forward,––and another messenger, coming forward to meet him. ⁴ So he said unto him, Run, speak unto this young man, saying: Like open villages, shall Jerusalem remain, for the multitude of men and cattle in her midst;

⁴ So he said unto him, Run, speak unto this young man, saying: Like open villages, shall Jerusalem remain, for the multitude of men and cattle in her midst;

¹ And once more the messenger who was speaking with me, roused me up, just as a man might be roused up out of his sleep.

¹ And once more lifted I mine eyes, and looked,––and lo! a Flying Volume.

⁵ Then came forward, the messenger who was talking with me,––and said unto me––Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see what this is which is coming forth.

⁹ Then lifted I up mine eyes and looked, and lo! Two Women coming forward, with the wind in their wings, and, they, had wings, like the wings of the stork,––and bare up the ephah, between the earth and the heavens.

¹ And once again I lifted mine eyes, and looked, and lo! four chariots, coming forward from between two mountains,––now, the mountains, were mountains of copper.

¹⁴ But I whirled them over all the nations whom they had not known, and, the land, was made desolate after them, that none passed through and returned,––Yea they made of a delightful land––a desolation.

⁵ Then shall ye flee to the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains, shall reach, very near, Yea, ye shall flee, just as ye fled from before the earthquake, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah,––Then, shall arrive, Yahweh my God, All thy holy ones, with thee!

²⁷ All things, unto me, have been delivered up by my Father; and, no one, fully knoweth the Son, save the rather, neither doth any one fully know, the Father, save, the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son, may be minded, to reveal, him.

³⁶ Then, dismissing the multitudes, he went into the house, and his disciples came near to him, saying––Make quite plain to us the parable of the darnel of the field.

⁸ And, lifting up their eyes, no one, saw they, save Jesus, himself, alone.

³² And, ye, fill ye up the measure of your fathers!

¹⁵ Whensoever, therefore, ye shall see the abomination desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place,––he that readeth, let him think,

³⁰ And, then, will be displayed––The sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and, then, will smite their breasts––all the tribes of the earth; and they will see the Son of Man––coming upon the clouds of heaven, with great power and glory. ³¹ And he will send forth his messengers, with a great trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen––Out of the four winds, from heavens’ bounds, unto their bounds.

¹² They may surely look and yet not see, and surely hear and yet not understand, lest once they should return and it be forgiven them.

⁴ And there appeared unto them Elijah, with Moses,––and they were conversing with Jesus. ⁵ And Peter, answering, saith unto Jesus––Rabbi! it is, delightful, for us to be, here,––let us therefore make three tents, for thee, one, and, for Moses, one, and, for Elijah, one;

¹⁴ But, when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not, he that readeth, let him, think, then, they who are in Judaea, let them flee into the mountains;

²⁷ And, then, will he send forth the messengers, and they will gather together his chosen––out of the four winds, from utmost bound of earth, unto utmost bound of heaven.

¹⁹ And the messenger, answering, said unto him––I, am Gabriel,––he that standeth near before God; and have been sent forth to speak unto thee, and to deliver the joyful message unto thee, as touching these things.

²⁶ Now, in the sixth month, was the messenger Gabriel sent forth from God, into a city of Galilee, the name of which was Nazareth,––

³² Now, Peter, and they who were with him, had become heavy with sleep; but, waking up, they saw his glory, and the two men who were standing with him.

²² All things, unto me, have been delivered up by my Father; and, no one, knoweth, who the Son is, save the Father,––and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son may be minded to reveal him.

⁵ And, certain saying, of the temple––With beautiful stones and offerings, hath it been adorned! he said–– ⁶ As to these things, which ye are looking upon, There will come days, in which there will not be left here, stone upon stone, which will not be taken down.

²⁰ But whensoever ye shall see Jerusalem, encompassed by armies, then, know, that her desolation hath drawn near.

²⁴ And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be carried away captive into all the nations, and, Jerusalem, shall be trodden down by the nations, until the seasons of the nations shall be fulfilled [and shall be].

⁴⁵ And, arising from prayer, he came unto his disciples, and found them falling asleep by reason of their grief;

¹⁸ No one, hath seen, God, at any time: An Only Begotten God, The One existing within the bosom of the Father, He, hath interpreted [him].

⁷ But, the men who were accompanying him, stood speechless,––hearing, indeed, the voice, but beholding no one.

¹³ And there came a voice unto him––Rise, Peter! slay and eat.

²³ And, instantly, there smote him, a messenger of the Lord, because he gave not the glory unto God; and, becoming worm–eaten, he expired.

⁶ And, now, for the hope of the promise, unto our fathers, being brought to pass by God, am I standing to be judged,––

²⁶ And, so, all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written––There shall have come out of Zion the Deliverer,––He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; ²⁷ And, this, for them, is the covenant from me, as soon as I take away their sins.

⁸ And, the scripture, foreseeing, that, by faith, God would declare the nations righteous, fore–announced the good news unto Abraham, saying, All the nations shall be blessed in thee.

¹⁶ Hindering us from speaking, unto the nations, that they might be saved, to the filling up of their own sins, continually; but anger hath overtaken them at length.

¹³ To the end he may confirms your hearts, faultless in holiness, before our God and Father, in the Presence of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

⁴ The one who opposeth and exalteth himself on high against every one called God, or an object of worship; so that he, within the sanctuary of God, shall take his seat, showeth himself forth, that he is, God:––

⁹ Whose, presence, [shall be] according to an inworking of Satan, with all manner of mighty work and signs and wonders of falsehood, ¹⁰ And with all manner of deceit of unrighteousness, in them who are destroying themselves, because, the love of the truth, they did not welcome, that they might be saved; ––

¹⁰ And with all manner of deceit of unrighteousness, in them who are destroying themselves, because, the love of the truth, they did not welcome, that they might be saved; –– ¹¹ And, for this cause, God sendeth them an inworking of error, to the end they should believe in the falsehood,––

¹¹ And, for this cause, God sendeth them an inworking of error, to the end they should believe in the falsehood,–– ¹² In order that should be judged who would not believe in the truth, but were well–pleased with the unrighteousness.

¹ Howbeit, the Spirit, expressly saith––that, in later seasons, some will revolt from the faith, giving heed unto seducing spirits, and unto teachings of demons––

¹ Whereas, in many parts and in many ways of old, God spake unto the fathers, in the prophets,

¹⁴ Are they not, all, spirits, doing public service,––for ministry, sent forth, for the sake of them who are about to inherit salvation?

¹⁰ For it was becoming in him––For the sake of whom are the all things, and by means of whom are the all things,––when, many sons, unto glory, he would lead, The Princely Leader of their salvation, through sufferings, to make perfect.

²⁹ Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be accounted worthy, who hath trampled underfoot the Son of God, and, the blood of the covenant, hath esteemed, a profane thing, by which he had been made holy, and, unto the Spirit of favour, hath offered wanton insult?

¹⁰ Concerning which salvation, prophets––who concerning the favour for you, did prophesy––sought out and searched out, ¹¹ Searching into what particular, or what manner, of season the Spirit of Christ which was in them was pointing to, when witnessing beforehand as to––The sufferings, for Christ, and the glories, after these,–– ¹² Unto whom it was revealed––that, Not unto themselves, but unto us, they were ministering them, which things have, now, been announced unto you through them who have told you the good tidings with Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven: into which things messengers are coveting to obtain a nearer view.

¹⁴ But the seventh from Adam, Enoch, prophesied, even of these, saying––Lo! the Lord hath come with his holy myriads,––

¹ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to point out unto his servants the things which must needs come to pass with speed,––and he shewed them by signs, sending through his messenger, unto his servant John;

¹² And I turned round, to see the Voice which was speaking with me, and, having turned, I saw Seven Lamps of gold; ¹³ and, in the midst of the lamps, One like unto a Son of Man:––clothed with a robe, reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a girdle of gold,

¹⁷ And, when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead, and he laid his right hand upon me, saying––Do not fear! I, am the First, and the Last,

¹⁰ And they cried out with a loud voice, saying––How long, O Sovereign, the Holy and True, dost thou not vindicate and avenge our blood from them that dwell upon the earth?

¹ After this, I saw four messengers, standing at the four corners of the earth, holding fast the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow upon the land, or upon the sea, or upon any tree.

⁴ And, when the seven thunders had spoken, I was about to write, and I heard a voice out of heaven, saying––Seal up the things which the seven thunders have uttered, and do not write, them.

⁷ but, in the days of the sounding of the seventh messenger, as soon as he is about to blow his trumpet, then shall have been completed the sacred secret of God as he told the good–news unto his own servants the prophets.

² and, the court that is outside the Sanctuary, cast thou outside, and do not measure, it, because it hath been given unto the nations, and, the holy city, shall they tread under foot, forty and two months.

² and, the court that is outside the Sanctuary, cast thou outside, and do not measure, it, because it hath been given unto the nations, and, the holy city, shall they tread under foot, forty and two months.
³ And I will give unto my two witnesses, that they shall prophesy, a thousand two hundred and sixty days, arrayed in sackcloth.

¹⁵ And, the seventh messenger, sounded; and there came to be loud voices in heaven, saying––The kingdom of the world, hath become [the kingdom] of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign unto the ages of ages.

¹⁸ And, the nations, were angered; and thine anger, came, and the fit time of the dead, to be vindicated, and to give their reward unto thy servants the prophets, and unto the saints, and unto them who revere thy name––the small and the great, and to despoil them who were despoiling the earth.

⁴ and, his tail, draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth. And, the dragon, stood before the woman who was about to bring forth, that, as soon as she should bring forth, he might devour, her child.

¹⁴ And there were given unto the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the desert, into her place,––where she is nourished, a season and seasons and half a season, from the face of the serpent.

³ And [I saw] one of his heads, showing that it had been slain unto death, and, the stroke of his death, was healed. And the whole earth marveled after the wild–beast, ⁴ and did homage unto the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the wild–beast; and they did homage unto the wild–beast, saying––Who is like unto the wild–beast? and Who can make war with him? ⁵ And there was given unto him, a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and it was given unto him to act, forty and two months.

⁵ And there was given unto him, a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and it was given unto him to act, forty and two months.

⁵ And there was given unto him, a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and it was given unto him to act, forty and two months. ⁶ And he opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tent,––them, who, in heaven were tabernacling.

⁶ And he opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tent,––them, who, in heaven were tabernacling. ⁷ [And it was given unto him, to make war with the saints, and to overcome them;] and there was given him, authority against every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

⁷ [And it was given unto him, to make war with the saints, and to overcome them;] and there was given him, authority against every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

⁷ [And it was given unto him, to make war with the saints, and to overcome them;] and there was given him, authority against every tribe and people and tongue and nation. ⁸ And all they who are dwelling upon the earth will do homage unto him,––[every one] whose name is not written in the scroll of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. ⁹ If any–one hath an ear: let him hear. ¹⁰ If anyone [carrieth] into captivity, into captivity, he goeth away. If anyone, with a sword, doth slay, he must, with a sword, be slain. Here, is the endurance and the faith of the saints.
¹¹ And I saw another wild–beast, coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns, like unto a lamb, and began speaking as a dragon.

¹¹ And I saw another wild–beast, coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns, like unto a lamb, and began speaking as a dragon. ¹² And, all the authority of the first wild–beast, he useth before him; and causeth the earth, and them who, therein, are dwelling, that they shall do homage unto the first wild–beast, whose stroke of death, was healed.

¹² And, all the authority of the first wild–beast, he useth before him; and causeth the earth, and them who, therein, are dwelling, that they shall do homage unto the first wild–beast, whose stroke of death, was healed. ¹³ And he doeth great signs, so that, even fire, he causeth to be coming down unto the earth before men;

¹³ And he doeth great signs, so that, even fire, he causeth to be coming down unto the earth before men; ¹⁴ and he deceiveth them who are dwelling upon the earth, by reason of the signs which it was given him to do before the wild–beast,––saying unto them who are dwelling upon the earth, that they should make an image unto the wild–beast who hath the stroke of the sword, and yet did live.

¹⁴ and he deceiveth them who are dwelling upon the earth, by reason of the signs which it was given him to do before the wild–beast,––saying unto them who are dwelling upon the earth, that they should make an image unto the wild–beast who hath the stroke of the sword, and yet did live. ¹⁵ And it was given unto it, to give spirit unto the image of the wild–beast, in order that the image of the wild–beast should both speak and should cause that, as many as should not do homage unto the image of the wild–beast, should be slain. ¹⁶ And he causeth all––the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond,––that they should give unto them a mark, upon their right hand or upon their forehead; ¹⁷ [and] that no one should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name. ¹⁸ Here, is, wisdom: he that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for it is, the number of a man; and, his number, is 666.

¹ And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous,––seven messengers having seven plagues, the last, because, in them, was ended the wrath of God.

⁶ Because, blood of saints and prophets, poured they out, and, blood, unto them, hast thou given to drink: Worthy, they are!

⁶ And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I was astonished, when I beheld her, with great astonishment.

¹² And, the ten horns which thou sawest, are, ten kings,––who, indeed, have not received, sovereignty, as yet, but, authority, as kings, for one hour, shall receive, with the wild–beast. ¹³ These, have, one mind, and, their power and authority, unto the wild–beast, they give.
¹⁴ These, with the Lamb, will make war; and, the Lamb, will overcome them, because he is, Lord of lords, and King of kings,––and, they who are with him, are called and chosen and faithful.

¹⁷ For, God, hath put into their hearts, to do his mind, and to do one mind,––and to give their sovereignty unto the wild–beast, until the words of God shall be completed.

² Because, true and righteous, are his judgments; because he hath judged the great harlot, who, indeed, corrupted the earth with her lewdness,––and hath avenged the blood of his servants, at her hand.

⁹ And he saith unto me––Write! Happy, they who, unto the marriage supper of the Lamb, have been bidden! And he saith unto me––These words, are, true [words] of God. ¹⁰ And I fell down at his feet, to do him homage; and he saith unto me––See! [thou do it] not! A fellow–servant, am I, of thee and of thy brethren who have the witness of Jesus: unto God, do homage! For, the witness of Jesus, is the spirit of the prophecy.

¹³ and arrayed with a mantle sprinkled with blood, and his name hath been called––The Word of God. ¹⁴ And, the armies which were in heaven, were following him, upon white horses, clothed with fine linen, white, pure; ¹⁵ and, out of his mouth, is going forth a sharp sword, that, therewith, he may smite the nations,––and, he, shall shepherd them with a sceptre of iron, and, he, treadeth the wine–press of the wrath of the anger of God the Almighty. ¹⁶ And he hath, upon his mantle and upon his thigh, a name, written––King of kings, and Lord of lords.

¹⁶ And he hath, upon his mantle and upon his thigh, a name, written––King of kings, and Lord of lords.

¹⁹ And I saw the wild–beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together––to make war with him who was sitting upon the horse, and with his army. ²⁰ And the wild–beast, was taken, and, with him, the false prophet who wrought the signs before him, whereby he deceived them who received the mark of the wild–beast and them who were doing homage unto his image,––alive, were they two cast into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone.

²⁰ And the wild–beast, was taken, and, with him, the false prophet who wrought the signs before him, whereby he deceived them who received the mark of the wild–beast and them who were doing homage unto his image,––alive, were they two cast into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone. ²¹ And, the rest, were slain with the sword of him that was sitting upon the horse, which went forth out of his mouth, and, all the birds, were filled with their flesh.

⁸ And, I, John, am he that was hearing and seeing these things; and, when I had heard and seen, I fell down to do homage at the feet of the messenger who had been pointing out unto me these things,––

¹⁰ And he saith unto me––Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, for, the season, is, near:

¹⁶ I, Jesus, have sent my messenger, to bear witness unto you of these things, for the assemblies. I, am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright and the morning Star.
