Daniel 7:6–9

6 “After this, while I was watching, suddenly another beast appeared. It was like a leopardk with four wings of a bird on its back. It had four heads,l and it was given dominion.

7 “After this, while I was watching in the night visions, suddenly a fourth beastm appeared, frightening and dreadful, and incredibly strong, with large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed, and it trampled with its feet whatever was left. It was different from all the beasts before it, and it had ten horns.n

8 “While I was considering the horns, suddenly another horn,o a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. And suddenly in this horn there were eyes like the eyes of a human and a mouth that was speaking arrogantly.p

THE ANCIENT OF DAYS AND THE SON OF MAN

9 “As I kept watching,

thrones were set in place,q

and the Ancient of Days took his seat.

His clothing was white like snow,r

and the hair of his head like whitest wool.s

His throne was flaming fire;t

its wheels were blazing fire.u
