Daniel 7:1–8

In the first year of ^aBelshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had ^bca dream and ^cvisions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters. ²Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, ^dthe four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. ³And four great beasts ^efcame up from the sea, ^sdiverse one from another. ⁴The first was ^ghlike a lion, and had ^eieagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were pluckt, and ^lit was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and ^ja man’s heart was given to it. ⁵And behold, ^kanother beast, a second, ^glike to a bear, and ^lit raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. ⁶After this I beheld, and lo ^kanother, ^gmlike a leopard, ⁿwhich had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also ⁿⁿfour heads; and dominion was given to it. ⁷After this I saw ^oin the night visions, and behold, ^pqa fourth beast, ^qdreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and ^qit had great ^riron teeth: ^qit devoured and ^qrbrake in pieces, and ^qstamped the residue with the feet of it: and it ^qswas diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and ^tit had ten horns. ⁸I considered the horns, and behold, ^uthere came up among them another little horn, ^ubefore whom there were three of the first horns pluckt up by the roots: and behold, in this horn were ^uueyes like the eyes ^vof man, and ^wa mouth ^xspeaking great things.
