Daniel 7 (WEBP)

[1] In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.
[2] Daniel spoke and said, “I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the sky broke out on the great sea.
[3] Four great animals came up from the sea, different from one another.
[4] “The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet as a man. A man’s heart was given to it.
[5] “Behold, there was another animal, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. They said this to it: ‘Arise! Devour much flesh!’
[6] “After this I saw, and behold, another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The animal also had four heads; and dominion was given to it.
[7] “After this I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there was a fourth animal, awesome, powerful, and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth. It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet. It was different from all the animals that were before it. It had ten horns.
[8] “I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking arrogantly.
[9] “I watched until thrones were placed, and one who was ancient of days sat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, and its wheels burning fire.
[10] A fiery stream issued and came out from before him. Thousands of thousands ministered to him. Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set. The books were opened.
[11] “I watched at that time because of the voice of the arrogant words which the horn spoke. I watched even until the animal was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.
[12] As for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
[13] “I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before him.
[14] Dominion was given him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom one that will not be destroyed.
[15] “As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved within my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
[16] I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. “So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
[17] ‘These great animals, which are four, are four kings, who will arise out of the earth.
[18] But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.’
[19] “Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth animal, which was different from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of bronze; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;
[20] and concerning the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke arrogantly, whose look was more stout than its fellows.
[21] I saw, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them,
[22] until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
[23] “So he said, ‘The fourth animal will be a fourth kingdom on earth, which will be different from all the kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth, and will tread it down and break it in pieces.
[24] As for the ten horns, ten kings will arise out of this kingdom. Another will arise after them; and he will be different from the former, and he will put down three kings.
[25] He will speak words against the Most High, and will wear out the saints of the Most High. He will plan to change the times and the law; and they will be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.
[26] “ ‘But the judgment will be set, and they will take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.
[27] The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole sky, will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions will serve and obey him.’
[28] “Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.”

Daniel 7 (KJVS)

[1] In the first H2298 year H8140 of Belshazzar H1113 king H4430 of Babylon H895 Daniel H1841 had H2370 (8754) a dream H2493 and visions H2376 of his head H7217 upon H5922 his bed H4903: then H116 he wrote H3790 (8754) the dream H2493, [and] told H560 (8754) the sum H7217 of the matters H4406.
[2] Daniel H1841 spake H6032 (8750) and said H560 (8750), I saw H2370 (8751) H1934 (8754) in my vision H2376 by H5974 night H3916, and, behold H718, the four H703 winds H7308 of the heaven H8065 strove H1519 (8683) upon the great H7229 sea H3221.
[3] And four H703 great H7260 beasts H2423 came up H5559 (8751) from H4481 the sea H3221, diverse H8133 (8750) one H1668 from H4481 another H1668.
[4] The first H6933 [was] like a lion H744, and had eagle’s H5403 wings H1611: I beheld H1934 (8754) H2370 (8751) till H5705 the wings H1611 thereof were plucked H4804 (8760), and it was lifted up H5191 (8760) from H4481 the earth H772, and made stand H6966 (8717) upon H5922 the feet H7271 as a man H606, and a man’s H606 heart H3825 was given H3052 (8753) to it.
[5] And behold H718 another H317 beast H2423, a second H8578, like H1821 (8751) to a bear H1678, and it raised up H6966 (8684) itself on one H2298 side H7859, and [it had] three H8532 ribs H5967 in the mouth H6433 of it between H997 the teeth H8128 of it: and they said H560 (8750) thus H3652 unto it, Arise H6966 (8747), devour H399 (8747) much H7690 flesh H1321.
[6] After H870 this H1836 I beheld H1934 (8754) H2370 (8751), and lo H718 another H317, like a leopard H5245, which had upon H5922 the back H1355 of it four H703 wings H1611 of a fowl H5776; the beast H2423 had also four H703 heads H7217; and dominion H7985 was given H3052 (8753) to it.
[7] After H870 this H1836 I saw H1934 (8754) H2370 (8751) in the night H3916 visions H2376, and behold H718 a fourth H7244 beast H2423, dreadful H1763 (8753) and terrible H574, and strong H8624 exceedingly H3493; and it had great H7260 iron H6523 teeth H8128: it devoured H399 (8750) and brake in pieces H1855 (8683), and stamped H7512 (8751) the residue H7606 with the feet H7271 of it: and it H1932 [was] diverse H8133 (8743) from H4481 all H3606 the beasts H2423 that [were] before H6925 it; and it had ten H6236 horns H7162.
[8] I considered H1934 (8754) H7920 (8723) the horns H7162, and, behold H431, there came up H5559 (8754) among H997 them another H317 little H2192 horn H7162, before H6925 H4481 whom there were three H8532 of H4481 the first H6933 horns H7162 plucked up by the roots H6132 (8725): and, behold H431, in this H1668 horn H7162 [were] eyes H5870 like the eyes H5870 of man H606, and a mouth H6433 speaking H4449 (8743) great things H7260.
[9] I beheld H1934 (8754) H2370 (8751) till H5705 the thrones H3764 were cast down H7412 (8752), and the Ancient H6268 of days H3118 did sit H3488 (8754), whose garment H3831 [was] white H2358 as snow H8517, and the hair H8177 of his head H7217 like the pure H5343 wool H6015: his throne H3764 [was like] the fiery H5135 flame H7631, [and] his wheels H1535 [as] burning H1815 (8751) fire H5135.
[10] A fiery H5135 stream H5103 issued H5047 (8743) and came forth H5312 (8750) from H4481 before H6925 him: thousand H506 thousands H506 ministered H8120 (8741) unto him, and ten thousand H7240 times ten thousand H7240 stood H6966 (8748) before H6925 him: the judgment H1780 was set H3488 (8754), and the books H5609 were opened H6606 (8760).
[11] I beheld H1934 (8754) H2370 (8751) then H116 because H4481 of the voice H7032 of the great H7260 words H4406 which the horn H7162 spake H4449 (8743): I beheld H1934 (8754) H2370 (8751) [even] till H5705 the beast H2423 was slain H6992 (8752), and his body H1655 destroyed H7 (8717), and given H3052 (8753) to the burning H3346 flame H785.
[12] As concerning the rest H7606 of the beasts H2423, they had their dominion H7985 taken away H5709 (8684): yet their lives H2417 were prolonged H3052 (8753) for H5705 a season H2166 and time H5732.
[13] I saw H1934 (8754) H2370 (8751) in the night H3916 visions H2376, and, behold H718, [one] like the Son H1247 of man H606 came H858 (8750) with H5974 the clouds H6050 of heaven H8065, and came H4291 (8754) to H5705 the Ancient H6268 of days H3118, and they brought him near H7127 (8684) before H6925 him.
[14] And there was given H3052 (8753) him dominion H7985, and glory H3367, and a kingdom H4437, that all H3606 people H5972, nations H524, and languages H3961, should serve H6399 (8748) him: his dominion H7985 [is] an everlasting H5957 dominion H7985, which shall not H3809 pass away H5709 (8748), and his kingdom H4437 [that] which shall not H3809 be destroyed H2255 (8721).
[15] I H576 Daniel H1841 was grieved H3735 (8730) in my spirit H7308 in the midst H1459 of [my] body H5085, and the visions H2376 of my head H7217 troubled H927 (8792) me.
[16] I came near H7127 (8754) unto H5922 one H2298 of H4481 them that stood by H6966 (8750), and asked H1156 (8748) him H4481 the truth H3330 of all H3606 this H1836. So he told H560 (8754) me, and made me know H3046 (8681) the interpretation H6591 of the things H4406.
[17] These H459 great H7260 beasts H2423, which H581 are four H703, [are] four H703 kings H4430, [which] shall arise H6966 (8748) out of H4481 the earth H772.
[18] But the saints H6922 of the most High H5946 shall take H6902 (8741) the kingdom H4437, and possess H2631 (8681) the kingdom H4437 for H5705 ever H5957, even for H5705 ever H5957 and ever H5957.
[19] Then H116 I would H6634 (8754) know the truth H3321 (8742) of H5922 the fourth H7244 beast H2423, which was H1934 (8754) diverse H8133 (8750) from H4481 all H3606 the others, exceeding H3493 dreadful H1763 (8753), whose teeth H8128 [were of] iron H6523, and his nails H2953 [of] brass H5174; [which] devoured H399 (8750), brake in pieces H1855 (8683), and stamped H7512 (8751) the residue H7606 with his feet H7271;
[20] And of H5922 the ten H6236 horns H7162 that [were] in his head H7217, and [of] the other H317 which came up H5559 (8754), and before H4481 H6925 whom three H8532 fell H5308 (8754); even [of] that horn H7162 that H1797 had eyes H5870, and a mouth H6433 that spake H4449 (8743) very great things H7260, whose look H2376 [was] more H4481 stout H7229 than H4481 his fellows H2273.
[21] I beheld H1934 (8754) H2370 (8751), and the same H1797 horn H7162 made H5648 (8751) war H7129 with H5974 the saints H6922, and prevailed H3202 (8750) against them;
[22] Until H5705 the Ancient H6268 of days H3118 came H858 (8754) H1768, and judgment H1780 was given H3052 (8753) to the saints H6922 of the most High H5946; and the time H2166 came H4291 (8754) that the saints H6922 possessed H2631 (8684) the kingdom H4437.
[23] Thus H3652 he said H560 (8754), The fourth H7244 beast H2423 shall be H1934 (8748) the fourth H7244 kingdom H4437 upon earth H772, which shall be diverse H8133 (8748) from H4481 all H3606 kingdoms H4437, and shall devour H399 (8748) the whole H3606 earth H772, and shall tread it down H1759 (8748), and break it in pieces H1855 (8681).
[24] And the ten H6236 horns H7162 out of H4481 this kingdom H4437 [are] ten H6236 kings H4430 [that] shall arise H6966 (8748): and another H321 shall rise H6966 (8748) after H311 them; and he shall be diverse H8133 (8748) from H4481 the first H6933, and he shall subdue H8214 (8681) three H8532 kings H4430.
[25] And he shall speak H4449 (8741) [great] words H4406 against H6655 the most High H5943, and shall wear out H1080 (8741) the saints H6922 of the most High H5946, and think H5452 (8748) to change H8133 (8682) times H2166 and laws H1882: and they shall be given H3052 (8725) into his hand H3028 until H5705 a time H5732 and times H5732 and the dividing H6387 of time H5732.
[26] But the judgment H1780 shall sit H3488 (8754), and they shall take away H5709 (8681) his dominion H7985, to consume H8046 (8682) and to destroy H7 (8682) [it] unto H5705 the end H5491.
[27] And the kingdom H4437 and dominion H7985, and the greatness H7238 of the kingdom H4437 under H8460 the whole H3606 heaven H8065, shall be given H3052 (8753) to the people H5972 of the saints H6922 of the most High H5946, whose kingdom H4437 [is] an everlasting H5957 kingdom H4437, and all H3606 dominions H7985 shall serve H6399 (8748) and obey H8086 (8721) him.
[28] Hitherto H5705 H3542 [is] the end H5491 of the matter H4406. As for me H576 Daniel H1841, my cogitations H7476 much H7690 troubled H927 (8792) me, and my countenance H2122 changed H8133 (8721) in me H5922: but I kept H5202 (8754) the matter H4406 in my heart H3821.

Young’s Literal Translation

Daniel 7 (YLT)

[1] In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel hath seen a dream, and the visions of his head on his bed, then the dream he hath written, the chief of the things he hath said.
[2] Answered hath Daniel and said, ‘I was seeing in my vision by night, and lo, the four winds of the heavens are coming forth to the great sea;
[3] and four great beasts are coming up from the sea, diverse one from another.
[4] The first is like a lion, and it hath an eagle’s wings. I was seeing till that its wings have been plucked, and it hath been lifted up from the earth, and on feet as a man it hath been caused to stand, and a heart of man is given to it.
[5] And lo, another beast, a second, like to a bear, and to the same authority it hath been raised, and three ribs are in its mouth, between its teeth, and thus they are saying to it, Rise, consume much flesh.
[6] ‘After this I was seeing, and lo, another like a leopard, and it hath four wings of a fowl on its back, and four heads hath the beast, and dominion is given to it.
[7] ‘After this I was seeing in the visions of the night, and lo, a fourth beast, terrible and fearful, and exceedingly strong; and it hath iron teeth very great, it hath consumed, yea, it doth break small, and the remnant with its feet it hath trampled; and it is diverse from all the beasts that are before it; and it hath ten horns.
[8] ‘I was considering about the horns, and lo, another horn, a little one, hath come up between them, and three of the first horns have been eradicated from before it, and lo, eyes as the eyes of man are in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.
[9] ‘I was seeing till that thrones have been thrown down, and the Ancient of Days is seated, His garment as snow is white, and the hair of his head is as pure wool, His throne flames of fire, its wheels burning fire.
[10] A flood of fire is proceeding and coming forth from before Him, a thousand thousands do serve Him, and a myriad of myriads before Him do rise up, the Judge is seated, and the books have been opened.
[11] ‘I was seeing, then, because of the voice of the great words that the horn is speaking, I was seeing till that the beast is slain, and his body hath been destroyed, and given to the burning fire;
[12] and the rest of the beasts have caused their dominion to pass away, and a prolongation in life is given to them, till a season and a time.
[13] ‘I was seeing in the visions of the night, and lo, with the clouds of the heavens as a son of man was one coming, and unto the Ancient of Days he hath come, and before Him they have brought him near.
[14] And to him is given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and languages do serve him, his dominion is a dominion age-during, that passeth not away, and his kingdom that which is not destroyed.
[15] ‘Pierced hath been my spirit-I, Daniel-in the midst of the sheath, and the visions of my head trouble me;
[16] I have drawn near unto one of those standing, and the certainty I seek from him of all this; and he hath said to me, yea, the interpretation of the things he hath caused me to know:
[17] ‘These great beasts, that are four, are four kings, they rise up from the earth;
[18] and receive the kingdom do the saints of the Most High, and they strengthen the kingdom unto the age, even unto the age of the ages.
[19] ‘Then I wished for certainty concerning the fourth beast, that was diverse from them all, fearful exceedingly; its teeth of iron, and its nails of brass, it hath devoured, it doth break small, and the remnant with its feet it hath trampled;
[20] and concerning the ten horns that are in its heads, and of the other that came up, and before which three have fallen, even of that horn that hath eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and whose appearance is great above its companions.
[21] ‘I was seeing, and this horn is making war with the saints, and hath prevailed over them,
[22] till that the Ancient of Days hath come, and judgment is given to the saints of the Most High, and the time hath come, and the saints have strengthened the kingdom.
[23] ‘Thus he said: The fourth beast is the fourth kingdom in the earth, that is diverse from all kingdoms, and it consumeth all the earth, and treadeth it down, and breaketh it small.
[24] And the ten horns out of the kingdom are ten kings, they rise, and another doth rise after them, and it is diverse from the former, and three kings it humbleth;
[25] and words as an adversary of the Most High it doth speak, and the saints of the Most High it doth wear out, and it hopeth to change seasons and law; and they are given into its hand, till a time, and times, and a division of a time.
[26] ‘And the Judge is seated, and its dominion they cause to pass away, to cut off, and to destroy-unto the end;
[27] and the kingdom, and the dominion, even the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heavens, is given to the people-the saints of the Most High, His kingdom is a kingdom age-during, and all dominions do serve and obey Him.
[28] ‘Hitherto is the end of the matter. I, Daniel, greatly do my thoughts trouble me, and my countenance is changed on me, and the matter in my heart I have kept.
