[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.”

[1] In the firstH2298 yearH8140 of BelshazzarH1113 kingH4430 of BabylonH895 DanielH1841 hadH2370(PealPerf) a dreamH2493 and visionsH2376 of his headH7217 uponH5922 his bed:H4903 thenH116 he wroteH3790(PealPerf) the dream,H2493 [and] toldH560(PealPerf) the sumH7217 of the matters.H4406 [2] DanielH1841 spakeH6032(PealPtc) and said,H560(PealPtc) I sawH2370(PealActPtc) in my visionH2376 byH5974 night,H3916 and, behold,H718 the fourH703 windsH7308 of the heavenH8065 stroveH1519(AphPtc) upon the greatH7229 sea.H3221 [3] And fourH703 greatH7260 beastsH2423 came upH5559(PealActPtc) fromH4481 the sea,H3221 diverseH8133(PealPtc) oneH1668 fromH4481 another.H1668 [4] The firstH6933 [was] like a lion,H744 and had eagle’sH5403 wings:H1611 I beheldH1934(PealPerf) tillH5705 the wingsH1611 thereof were plucked,H4804(PeilPerf) and it was lifted upH5191(PeilPerf) fromH4481 the earth,H772 and made standH6966(HophPerf) uponH5922 the feetH7271 as a man,H606 and a man’sH606 heartH3825 was givenH3052(PealPeiPtc) to it. [5] And beholdH718 anotherH317 beast,H2423 a second,H8578 likeH1821(PealActPtc) to a bear,H1678 and it raised upH6966(AphPerf) itself on oneH2298 side,H7859 and [it had] threeH8532 ribsH5967 in the mouthH6433 of it betweenH997 the teethH8128 of it: and they saidH560(PealPtc) thusH3652 unto it, Arise,H6966(PealImpv) devourH399(PealImpv) muchH7690 flesh.H1321 [6] AfterH870 thisH1836 I beheld,H1934(PealPerf) and loH718 another,H317 like a leopard,H5245 which had uponH5922 the backH1355 of it fourH703 wingsH1611 of a fowl;H5776 the beastH2423 had also fourH703 heads;H7217 and dominionH7985 was givenH3052(PealPeiPtc) to it. [7] AfterH870 thisH1836 I sawH1934(PealPerf) in the nightH3916 visions,H2376 and beholdH718 a fourthH7244 beast,H2423 dreadfulH1763(PealPeiPtc) and terrible,H574 and strongH8624 exceedingly;H3493 and it had greatH7260 ironH6523 teeth:H8128 it devouredH399(PealPtc) and brake in pieces,H1855(AphPtc) and stampedH7512(PealActPtc) the residueH7606 with the feetH7271 of it: and itH1932 [was] diverseH8133(PaelPtc) fromH4481 allH3606 the beastsH2423 that [were] beforeH6925 it; and it had tenH6236 horns.H7162 [8] I consideredH1934(PealPerf) the horns,H7162 and, behold,H431 there came upH5559(PealPerf) amongH997 them anotherH317 littleH2192 horn,H7162 beforeH6925 whom there were threeH8532 ofH4481 the firstH6933 hornsH7162 plucked up by the roots:H6132(ItpeImpf) and, behold,H431 in thisH1668 hornH7162 [were] eyesH5870 like the eyesH5870 of man,H606 and a mouthH6433 speakingH4449(PaelPtc) great things.H7260 [9] I beheldH1934(PealPerf) tillH5705 the thronesH3764 were cast down,H7412(PealPasPtc) and the AncientH6268 of daysH3118 did sit,H3488(PealPerf) whose garmentH3831 [was] whiteH2358 as snow,H8517 and the hairH8177 of his headH7217 like the pureH5343 wool:H6015 his throneH3764 [was like] the fieryH5135 flame,H7631 [and] his wheelsH1535 [as] burningH1815(PealActPtc) fire.H5135 [10] A fieryH5135 streamH5103 issuedH5047(PaelPtc) and came forthH5312(PealPtc) fromH4481 beforeH6925 him: thousandH506 thousandsH506 ministeredH8120(PaelImpf) unto him, and ten thousandH7240 times ten thousandH7240 stoodH6966(PealImpf) beforeH6925 him: the judgmentH1780 was set,H3488(PealPerf) and the booksH5609 were opened.H6606(PeilPerf) [11] I beheldH1934(PealPerf) thenH116 becauseH4481 of the voiceH7032 of the greatH7260 wordsH4406 which the hornH7162 spake:H4449(PaelPtc) I beheldH1934(PealPerf) [even] tillH5705 the beastH2423 was slain,H6992(PealPasPtc) and his bodyH1655 destroyed,H7(HophPerf) and givenH3052(PealPeiPtc) to the burningH3346 flame.H785 [12] As concerning the restH7606 of the beasts,H2423 they had their dominionH7985 taken away:H5709(AphPerf) yet their livesH2417 were prolongedH3052(PealPeiPtc) forH5705 a seasonH2166 and time.H5732 [13] I sawH1934(PealPerf) in the nightH3916 visions,H2376 and, behold,H718 [one] like the SonH1247 of manH606 cameH858(PealPtc) withH5974 the cloudsH6050 of heaven,H8065 and cameH4291(PealPerf) toH5705 the AncientH6268 of days,H3118 and they brought him nearH7127(AphPerf) beforeH6925 him. [14] And there was givenH3052(PealPeiPtc) him dominion,H7985 and glory,H3367 and a kingdom,H4437 that allH3606 people,H5972 nations,H524 and languages,H3961 should serveH6399(PealImpf) him: his dominionH7985 [is] an everlastingH5957 dominion,H7985 which shall notH3809 pass away,H5709(PealImpf) and his kingdomH4437 [that] which shall notH3809 be destroyed.H2255(ItpaImpf) [15] IH576 DanielH1841 was grievedH3735(ItplPerf) in my spiritH7308 in the midstH1459 of [my] body,H5085 and the visionsH2376 of my headH7217 troubledH927(PualImpf) me. [16] I came nearH7127(PealPerf) untoH5922 oneH2298 ofH4481 them that stood by,H6966(PealPtc) and askedH1156(PealImpf) himH4481 the truthH3330 of allH3606 this.H1836 So he toldH560(PealPerf) me, and made me knowH3046(AphImpf) the interpretationH6591 of the things.H4406 [17] TheseH459 greatH7260 beasts,H2423 whichH581 are four,H703 [are] fourH703 kings,H4430 [which] shall ariseH6966(PealImpf) out ofH4481 the earth.H772 [18] But the saintsH6922 of the most HighH5946 shall takeH6902(PaelImpf) the kingdom,H4437 and possessH2631(AphImpf) the kingdomH4437 forH5705 ever,H5957 even forH5705 everH5957 and ever.H5957 [19] ThenH116 I wouldH6634(PealPerf) know the truthH3321(PaelInf) ofH5922 the fourthH7244 beast,H2423 which wasH1934(PealPerf) diverseH8133(PealPtc) fromH4481 allH3606 the others, exceedingH3493 dreadful,H1763(PealPeiPtc) whose teethH8128 [were of] iron,H6523 and his nailsH2953 [of] brass;H5174 [which] devoured,H399(PealPtc) brake in pieces,H1855(AphPtc) and stampedH7512(PealActPtc) the residueH7606 with his feet;H7271 [20] And ofH5922 the tenH6236 hornsH7162 that [were] in his head,H7217 and [of] the otherH317 which came up,H5559(PealPerf) and beforeH4481 whom threeH8532 fell;H5308(PealPerf) even [of] that hornH7162 thatH1797 had eyes,H5870 and a mouthH6433 that spakeH4449(PaelPtc) very great things,H7260 whose lookH2376 [was] moreH4481 stoutH7229 thanH4481 his fellows.H2273 [21] I beheld,H1934(PealPerf) and the sameH1797 hornH7162 madeH5648(PealActPtc) warH7129 withH5974 the saints,H6922 and prevailedH3202(PealPtc) against them; [22] UntilH5705 the AncientH6268 of daysH3118 came,H858(PealPerf) and judgmentH1780 was givenH3052(PealPeiPtc) to the saintsH6922 of the most High;H5946 and the timeH2166 cameH4291(PealPerf) that the saintsH6922 possessedH2631(AphPerf) the kingdom.H4437 [23] ThusH3652 he said,H560(PealPerf) The fourthH7244 beastH2423 shall beH1934(PealImpf) the fourthH7244 kingdomH4437 upon earth,H772 which shall be diverseH8133(PealImpf) fromH4481 allH3606 kingdoms,H4437 and shall devourH399(PealImpf) the wholeH3606 earth,H772 and shall tread it down,H1759(PealImpf) and break it in pieces.H1855(AphImpf) [24] And the tenH6236 hornsH7162 out ofH4481 this kingdomH4437 [are] tenH6236 kingsH4430 [that] shall arise:H6966(PealImpf) and anotherH321 shall riseH6966(PealImpf) afterH311 them; and he shall be diverseH8133(PealImpf) fromH4481 the first,H6933 and he shall subdueH8214(AphImpf) threeH8532 kings.H4430 [25] And he shall speakH4449(PaelImpf) [great] wordsH4406 againstH6655 the most High,H5943 and shall wear outH1080(PaelImpf) the saintsH6922 of the most High,H5946 and thinkH5452(PealImpf) to changeH8133(AphInf) timesH2166 and laws:H1882 and they shall be givenH3052(ItpeImpf) into his handH3028 untilH5705 a timeH5732 and timesH5732 and the dividingH6387 of time.H5732 [26] But the judgmentH1780 shall sit,H3488(PealPerf) and they shall take awayH5709(AphImpf) his dominion,H7985 to consumeH8046(AphInf) and to destroyH7(AphInf) [it] untoH5705 the end.H5491 [27] And the kingdomH4437 and dominion,H7985 and the greatnessH7238 of the kingdomH4437 underH8460 the wholeH3606 heaven,H8065 shall be givenH3052(PealPeiPtc) to the peopleH5972 of the saintsH6922 of the most High,H5946 whose kingdomH4437 [is] an everlastingH5957 kingdom,H4437 and allH3606 dominionsH7985 shall serveH6399(PealImpf) and obeyH8086(ItpaImpf) him. [28] HithertoH5705 [is] the endH5491 of the matter.H4406 As for meH576 Daniel,H1841 my cogitationsH7476 muchH7690 troubledH927(PualImpf) me, and my countenanceH2122 changedH8133(ItpaImpf) in me:H5922 but I keptH5202(PealPerf) the matterH4406 in my heart.H3821
