Daniel 7

7:1  In the first <G 2298> year <G 8140> of Belshazzar <G 1113> king

<G 4430> of Babylon <G 0895> Daniel <G 1841> had <G 2370> a dream <G 2493>

and visions <G 2376> of his head <G 7217> upon his bed <G 4903>: then

<G 0116> he wrote <G 3790> the dream <G 2493>, [and] told <G 0560> the

sum <G 7217> of the matters <G 4406>.

7:2 Daniel <G 1841> spake <G 6032> and said <G 0560>, I saw <G 2370> in

my vision <G 2376> by night <G 3916>, and, behold <G 0718>, the four

<G 0703> winds <G 7308> of the heaven <G 8065> strove <G 1519> upon the

great <G 7227> sea <G 3221>.

7:3 And four <G 0703> great <G 7260> beasts <G 2423> came <G 5559> up

from the sea <G 3221>, diverse <G 8133> one <G 1668> from another

<G 1668>.

7:4 The first <G 6933> [was] like a lion <G 0738>, and had eagle's

<G 5403> wings <G 1611>: I beheld till <G 5704> the wings <G 1611>

thereof were plucked <G 4804>, and it was lifted <G 5191> up from the

earth <G 0772>, and made stand <G 6966> upon the feet <G 7271> as a man

<G 0606>, and a man's <G 0606> heart <G 3825> was given <G 3052> to it.

7:5 And behold <G 0718> another <G 0317> beast <G 2423>, a second

<G 8578>, like <G 1821> to a bear <G 1678>, and it raised <G 6966> up

itself on one <G 2298> side <G 7859>, and [it had] three <G 8532> ribs

<G 6763> in the mouth <G 6433> of it between <G 0997> the teeth <G 8128>

of it: and they said <G 0560> thus <G 3652> unto it, Arise <G 6965>,

devour <G 0399> much <G 7690> flesh <G 1321>.

7:6 After <G 0870> this <G 1836> I beheld, and lo <G 0718> another

<G 0317>, like a leopard <G 5245>, which <G 1768> had upon the back

<G 1355> of it four <G 0703> wings <G 1611> of a fowl <G 5776>; the beast

<G 2423> had also four <G 0703> heads <G 7217>; and dominion <G 7985> was

given <G 3052> to it.

7:7 After <G 0870> this <G 1836> I saw <G 2370> in the night <G 3916>

visions <G 2376>, and behold <G 0718> a fourth <G 7244> beast <G 2423>,

dreadful <G 1763> and terrible <G 0574>, and strong <G 8624>

exceedingly <G 3493>; and it had great <G 7260> iron <G 6523> teeth

<G 8128>: it devoured <G 0399> and brake <G 1855> in pieces, and

stamped <G 7512> the residue <G 7606> with the feet <G 7271> of it: and

it [was] diverse <G 8133> from all <G 3606> the beasts <G 2423> that

[were] before <G 6925> it; and it had ten <G 6236> horns <G 7162>.

7:8 I considered <G 7920> the horns <G 7162>, and, behold <G 0431>,

there came <G 5559> up among <G 0997> them another <G 0317> little

<G 2192> horn <G 7162>, before <G 6925> whom there were three <G 8532> of

the first <G 6933> horns <G 7162> plucked <G 6132> up by the roots

<G 6132>: and, behold <G 0431>, in this <G 1668> horn <G 7162> [were]

eyes <G 5870> like the eyes <G 5870> of man <G 0606>, and a mouth

<G 6433> speaking <G 4449> great <G 7260> things.

7:9  I beheld till <G 5704> the thrones <G 3764> were cast <G 7412>

down, and the Ancient <G 6268> of days <G 3118> did sit <G 3488>, whose

garment <G 3831> [was] white as snow <G 8517>, and the hair <G 8177> of

his head <G 7217> like the pure <G 5343> wool <G 6015>: his throne

<G 3764> [was like] the fiery <G 5135> flame <G 7631>, [and] his wheels

<G 1535> [as] burning <G 1815> fire <G 5135>.

7:10 A fiery <G 5135> stream <G 5103> issued <G 5047> and came <G 5312>

forth <G 5312> from before <G 6925> him: thousand <G 0506> thousands

<G 0506> ministered <G 8120> unto him, and ten <G 7240> thousand <G 7240>

times ten <G 7240> thousand <G 7240> stood <G 6966> before <G 6925> him:

the judgment <G 1780> was set <G 3488>, and the books <G 5609> were

opened <G 6606>.

7:11 I beheld then <G 0116> because <G 4481> of the voice <G 7032> of

the great <G 7260> words <G 4406> which <G 1768> the horn <G 7162> spake

<G 4449>: I beheld [even <G 5705>] till <G 5704> the beast <G 2423> was

slain <G 6992>, and his body <G 1655> destroyed <G 7>, and given <G 3052>

to the burning <G 3346> flame <G 0785>.

7:12 As concerning the rest <G 7606> of the beasts <G 2423>, they had

their dominion <G 7985> taken <G 5709> away <G 5709>: yet their lives

<G 2417> were prolonged for a season <G 2166> and time <G 5732>.

7:13 I saw <G 2370> in the night <G 6916> visions <G 2376>, and, behold

<G 0718>, [one] like the Son <G 1247> of man <G 0606> came with the

clouds <G 6050> of heaven <G 8065>, and came <G 4291> to the Ancient

<G 6268> of days <G 3118>, and they brought <G 7127> him near <G 7127>

before <G 6925> him.

7:14 And there was given <G 3052> him dominion <G 7985>, and glory

<G 3367>, and a kingdom <G 4437>, that all <G 3606> people <G 5972>,

nations <G 0524>, and languages <G 3961>, should serve <G 6399> him:

his dominion <G 7985> [is] an everlasting <G 5957> dominion <G 7985>,

which <G 1768> shall not pass <G 5709> away <G 5709>, and his kingdom

<G 4437> [that] which <G 1768> shall not be destroyed <G 2255>.

7:15  I Daniel <G 1841> was grieved <G 3735> in my spirit <G 7308> in

the midst <G 1459> of [my] body <G 5085>, and the visions <G 2376> of

my head <G 7217> troubled <G 0927> me.

7:16 I came <G 7127> near <G 7127> unto one <G 2298> of them that stood

<G 6966> by, and asked <G 1156> him the truth <G 3330> of all <G 3606>

this <G 1836>. So he told <G 0560> me, and made me know <G 3046> the

interpretation <G 6591> of the things <G 4406>.

7:17 These <G 0459> great <G 7260> beasts <G 2423>, which <G 1768> are

four <G 0703>, [are] four <G 0703> kings <G 4430>, [which] shall arise

<G 6965> out of the earth <G 0772>.

7:18 But the saints <G 6922> of the most <G 5946> High <G 5946> shall

take <G 6902> the kingdom <G 4437>, and possess <G 2631> the kingdom

<G 4437> for ever <G 5957>, even <G 5705> for ever <G 5957> and ever

<G 5957>.

7:19 Then <G 0116> I would <G 6634> know <G 3046> the truth <G 3321> of

the fourth <G 7244> beast <G 2423>, which <G 1768> was diverse <G 8133>

from all <G 3606> the others, exceeding <G 3493> dreadful <G 1763>,

whose <G 1768> teeth <G 8128> [were of] iron <G 6523>, and his nails

<G 2953> [of] brass <G 5174>; [which] devoured <G 0399>, brake <G 1855>

in pieces, and stamped <G 7512> the residue <G 7606> with his feet

<G 7271>;

7:20 And of the ten <G 6236> horns <G 7162> that [were] in his head

<G 7217>, and [of] the other <G 0317> which <G 1768> came <G 5559> up,

and before whom <G 4479> three <G 8532> fell <G 5308>; even [of] that

horn <G 7162> that had eyes <G 5870>, and a mouth <G 6433> that spake

<G 4449> very <G 7260> great <G 7260> things, whose look <G 2376> [was]

more <G 5750> stout <G 7229> than <G 4481> his fellows <G 2273>.

7:21 I beheld, and the same <G 1797> horn <G 7162> made <G 5648> war

<G 7129> with the saints <G 6922>, and prevailed <G 3202> against them;

7:22 Until <G 5704> the Ancient <G 6268> of days <G 3118> came <G 0858>,

and judgment <G 1780> was given <G 3052> to the saints <G 6922> of the

most <G 5946> High <G 5946>; and the time <G 2166> came <G 4291> that the

saints <G 6922> possessed <G 2631> the kingdom <G 4437>.

7:23 Thus <G 3652> he said <G 0560>, The fourth <G 7244> beast <G 2423>

shall be the fourth <G 7244> kingdom <G 4437> upon earth <G 0772>,

which <G 1768> shall be diverse <G 8133> from all <G 3606> kingdoms

<G 4437>, and shall devour <G 0399> the whole <G 3606> earth <G 0772>,

and shall tread <G 1759> it down, and break <G 1854> it in pieces.

7:24 And the ten <G 6236> horns <G 7162> out of this kingdom <G 4437>

[are] ten <G 6236> kings <G 4430> [that] shall arise <G 6965>: and

another <G 0312> shall rise <G 6966> after <G 0311> them; and he shall

be diverse <G 8133> from the first <G 6933>, and he shall subdue

<G 8214> three <G 8532> kings <G 4430>.

7:25 And he shall speak <G 4449> [great] words <G 4406> against

<G 6655> the most <G 5943> High <G 5943>, and shall wear <G 1080> out the

saints <G 6922> of the most <G 5946> High <G 5946>, and think <G 5452> to

change <G 8133> times <G 2166> and laws <G 1882>: and they shall be

given <G 3052> into his hand <G 3028> until <G 5704> a time <G 5732> and

times <G 5732> and the dividing <G 6387> of time <G 5732>.

7:26 But the judgment <G 1780> shall sit <G 3488>, and they shall

take <G 5709> away <G 5709> his dominion <G 7985>, to consume <G 8046>

and to destroy <G 7> [it] unto the end <G 5491>.

7:27 And the kingdom <G 4437> and dominion <G 7985>, and the

greatness <G 7238> of the kingdom <G 4437> under <G 8460> the whole

<G 3606> heaven <G 8065>, shall be given <G 3052> to the people <G 5972>

of the saints <G 6922> of the most <G 5945> High <G 5946>, whose

kingdom <G 4437> [is] an everlasting <G 5957> kingdom <G 4437>, and all

<G 3606> dominions <G 7985> shall serve <G 6399> and obey <G 8086> him.

7:28 Hitherto [is] the end <G 5491> of the matter <G 4406>. As for me

Daniel <G 1841>, my cogitations <G 7476> much <G 7690> troubled <G 0927>

me, and my countenance <G 2122> changed <G 8133> in me: but I kept

<G 5202> the matter <G 4406> in my heart <G 3821>.
