Daniel 7:17–27

^17zThese great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth. ¹⁸But ^athe saints of the ^†most High ^bshall take the kingdom, and ^bpossess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. ¹⁹Then I would know the truth of ^cthe fourth beast, which was diverse ^†from all the others, ^cexceeding dreadful, ^cwhose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which ^cdevoured, ^cbrake in pieces, and ^cstamped the residue with his feet; ²⁰And of ^cthe ten horns that were in his head, and of ^dthe other which came up, and ^dbefore whom three fell; even of ^dthat horn that had eyes, and ^da mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. ²¹I beheld, and the same horn ^emade war with ^athe saints, and ^eprevailed against them; ²²Until ^fthe Ancient of days came, and ^gjudgment was given to ^hthe saints of the most High; and the time came that ^hithe saints possessed the kingdom. ²³Thus he said, ^cThe fourth beast shall be ^cthe fourth kingdom upon earth, ^cwhich shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and ^cshall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and ^cbreak it in pieces. ²⁴And ^cthe ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and ^danother shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and ^dhe shall subdue three kings. ²⁵And ^djhe shall speak ^kgreat words against ^lthe most High, and ^ejshall wear out ^hthe saints of the most High, and think ^mto change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand ⁿuntil a time and times and the dividing of time. ²⁶But ^othe judgment shall sit, and ^pthey shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it ^qunto the end. ²⁷And ^hthe kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of ^hthe saints of the most High, ^rwhose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all ^||dominions shall serve and obey him.
