Daniel 7:20–26

²⁰and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and concerning the other horn that came up and before which three others had fallen—the horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke arrogantly and that seemed greater than the others. ²¹As I looked, that horn made war with the holy ones and was prevailing over them,^{* 22}until the Ancient Oneⁱ came; then judgment was given for the holy ones of the Most High, and the time arrived when the holy ones gained possession of the kingdom.^*

²³This is what he said: “As for the fourth beast,

there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth

that shall be different from all the other kingdoms;

it shall devour the whole earth

and trample it down and break it to pieces.^*

²⁴As for the ten horns,

out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise,

and another shall arise after them.

This one shall be different from the former ones

and shall put down three kings.^*

²⁵He shall speak words against the Most High,

shall wear out the holy ones of the Most High,

and shall attempt to change the ritual calendar and the law,

and they shall be given into his power

for a time, two times,^j and half a time.^*

²⁶Then the court shall sit in judgment,

and his dominion shall be taken away,

to be consumed and totally destroyed.^*
