9“I continued watchings until thrones were placed and an Ancient of Days sat; his clothing was like white snow and the hair of his head was like pure wool and his throne was a flamet of fire and its wheelsu were burning fire. 10A stream of fire issued forth and flowed from his presence;v thousands upon thousands served him and ten thousand upon ten thousand stood before him. The judge sat, and the books were opened.

11“I continued watchingw thenx because of the noise of the boastful words of the horn who was speaking; I continued watchingy until the beast was slain and its body was destroyed, and it was given over to burning with fire. 12And as for the remainder of the beasts, their dominion was taken away,z but a prolongation of their lifea was given to them for a season and a time.

13“I continued watchingb in the visions of the night, and look, with the clouds of heaven one like a son of manc was coming, and he came to the Ancient of Days, and was presentedd before him. 14And to him was given dominion and glory and kingship thate all the peoples, the nations, and languages would serve him; his dominion is a dominion without endf that will not cease, and his kingdom is one that will not be destroyed.

Read in Logos
Daniel 7:9: ...As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire.
