DAN8

Daniel 8

8:1 In the third <G 7969> year <G 8141> of the reign <G 4438> of king

<G 4428> Belshazzar <G 1113> a vision <G 2377> appeared <G 7200> unto me,

[even unto] me Daniel <G 1840>, after <G 0310> that which appeared

<G 7200> unto me at the first <G 8462>.

8:2 And I saw <G 7200> in a vision <G 2377>; and it came <G 1961> to

pass, when I saw <G 7200>, that I [was] at Shushan <G 7800> [in] the

palace <G 1002>, which <G 0834> [is] in the province <G 4082> of Elam

<G 5867>; and I saw <G 7200> in a vision <G 2377>, and I was by the

river <G 0180> of Ulai <G 0195>.

8:3 Then I lifted <G 5375> up mine eyes <G 5869>, and saw <G 7200>,

and, behold <G 2009>, there stood <G 5975> before <G 6440> the river

<G 0180> a ram <G 0352> which had [two] horns <G 7161>: and the [two]

horns <G 7161> [were] high <G 1364>; but one <G 0259> [was] higher

<G 1364> than <G 4480> the other <G 8145>, and the higher <G 1364> came

<G 5927> up last <G 0314>.

8:4 I saw <G 7200> the ram <G 0352> pushing <G 5055> westward <G 3220>,

and northward <G 6828>, and southward <G 5045>; so that no <G 3808>

beasts <G 2416> might stand <G 5975> before <G 6440> him, neither

<G 0369> [was there any] that could deliver <G 5337> out of his hand

<G 3027>; but he did <G 6213> according to his will <G 7522>, and

became <G 1431> great <G 1431>.

8:5 And as I was considering <G 0995>, behold <G 2009>, an he goat

<G 5795> came <G 0935> from the west <G 4628> on the face <G 6440> of the

whole <G 3605> earth <G 0776>, and touched <G 5060> not the ground

<G 0776>: and the goat <G 6842> [had] a notable <G 2380> horn <G 7161>

between <G 0996> his eyes <G 5869>.

8:6 And he came <G 0935> to the ram <G 0352> that had [two] horns

<G 7161>, which <G 0834> I had seen <G 7200> standing <G 5975> before

<G 6440> the river <G 0180>, and ran <G 7323> unto him in the fury

<G 2534> of his power <G 3581>.

8:7 And I saw <G 7200> him come <G 5060> close <G 0681> unto the ram

<G 0352>, and he was moved with choler <G 4843> against <G 0413> him,

and smote <G 5221> the ram <G 0352>, and brake <G 7665> his two <G 8147>

horns <G 7161>: and there was no <G 3808> power <G 3581> in the ram

<G 0352> to stand <G 5975> before <G 6440> him, but he cast <G 7993> him

down to the ground <G 0776>, and stamped <G 7429> upon him: and there

was none <G 3808> that could deliver <G 5337> the ram <G 0352> out of

his hand <G 3027>.

8:8 Therefore the he goat <G 6842> waxed very great <G 1431>: and

when he was strong <G 6105>, the great <G 1419> horn <G 7161> was

broken <G 7665>; and for it came <G 5927> up four <G 0702> notable

<G 2380> ones toward the four <G 0702> winds <G 7307> of heaven <G 8064>.

8:9 And out of one <G 0259> of them came <G 3318> forth <G 3318> a

little <G 4704> horn <G 7161>, which waxed exceeding <G 3499> great

<G 1431>, toward <G 0413> the south <G 5045>, and toward <G 0413> the

east <G 4217>, and toward <G 0413> the pleasant <G 6643> [land].

8:10 And it waxed great <G 1431>, [even] to the host <G 6635> of

heaven <G 8064>; and it cast <G 5307> down <G 5307> [some] of the host

<G 6635> and of the stars <G 3556> to the ground <G 0776>, and stamped

<G 7429> upon them.

8:11 Yea, he magnified <G 1431> [himself] even to the prince <G 8269>

of the host <G 6635>, and by him the daily <G 8548> [sacrifice] was

taken <G 7311> away <G 7311>, and the place <G 4349> of his sanctuary

<G 4720> was cast <G 7993> down.

8:12 And an host <G 6635> was given <G 5414> [him] against <G 5921> the

daily <G 8548> [sacrifice] by reason of transgression <G 6588>, and

it cast <G 7993> down the truth <G 0571> to the ground <G 0776>; and it

practised <G 6213>, and prospered <G 6743>.

8:13 Then I heard <G 8085> one <G 0259> saint <G 6918> speaking <G 1696>,

and another <G 0259> saint <G 6918> said <G 0559> unto that certain

<G 6422> [saint] which spake <G 1696>, How <G 5704> long <G 5704> [shall

be] the vision <G 2377> [concerning] the daily <G 8548> [sacrifice],

and the transgression <G 6588> of desolation <G 8074>, to give <G 5414>

both the sanctuary <G 6944> and the host <G 6635> to be trodden

<G 4823> under foot <G 4823>?

8:14 And he said <G 0559> unto me, Unto two thousand <G 0505> and

three <G 7969> hundred <G 3967> days; then shall the sanctuary <G 6944>

be cleansed <G 6663>.

8:15 And it came <G 1961> to pass, when I, [even] I Daniel <G 1840>,

had seen <G 7200> the vision <G 2377>, and sought <G 1245> for the

meaning <G 0998>, then, behold <G 2009>, there stood <G 5975> before

<G 5048> me as the appearance <G 4758> of a man <G 1397>.

8:16 And I heard <G 8085> a man's <G 0120> voice <G 6963> between

<G 0996> [the banks of] Ulai <G 0195>, which called <G 7121>, and said

<G 0559>, Gabriel <G 1403>, make this <G 1975> [man] to understand

<G 0995> the vision <G 4758>.

8:17 So he came <G 0935> near <G 0681> where I stood <G 5977>: and when

he came <G 0935>, I was afraid <G 1204>, and fell <G 5307> upon my face

<G 6440>: but he said <G 0559> unto me, Understand <G 0995>, O son

[shall be] the vision <G 4758>.

8:18 Now as he was speaking <G 1696> with me, I was in a deep

<G 7290> sleep <G 7290> on <G 5921> my face <G 6440> toward the ground

<G 0776>: but he touched <G 5060> me, and set <G 5975> me upright

<G 5977>.

8:19 And he said <G 0559>, Behold <G 2005>, I will make thee know

<G 3045> what shall be in the last <G 0319> end of the indignation

<G 2195>: for at the time appointed <G 4150> the end <G 7093> [shall

be].

8:20 The ram <G 0352> which <G 0834> thou sawest <G 7200> having <G 1167>

[two] horns <G 7161> [are] the kings <G 4428> of Media <G 4074> and

Persia <G 6539>.

8:21 And the rough <G 8163> goat <G 6842> [is] the king <G 4428> of

Grecia <G 3120>: and the great <G 1419> horn <G 7161> that [is] between

<G 0996> his eyes <G 5869> [is] the first <G 7223> king <G 4428>.

8:22 Now that being broken <G 7665>, whereas four <G 0702> stood

<G 5975> up for it, four <G 0702> kingdoms <G 4438> shall stand <G 5975>

up out of the nation <G 1471>, but not in his power <G 3581>.

8:23 And in the latter <G 0319> time of their kingdom <G 4438>, when

the transgressors <G 6586> are come to the full <G 8552>, a king

<G 4428> of fierce <G 5794> countenance <G 6440>, and understanding

<G 0995> dark <G 2420> sentences <G 2420>, shall stand <G 5975> up.

8:24 And his power <G 3581> shall be mighty <G 6105>, but not by his

own power <G 3581>: and he shall destroy <G 7843> wonderfully <G 6381>,

and shall prosper <G 6743>, and practise <G 6213>, and shall destroy

<G 7843> the mighty <G 6099> and the holy <G 6918> people <G 5971>.

8:25 And through <G 5921> his policy <G 7922> also he shall cause

craft <G 4820> to prosper <G 6743> in his hand <G 3027>; and he shall

magnify <G 1431> [himself] in his heart <G 3824>, and by peace <G 7962>

shall destroy <G 7843> many <G 7227>: he shall also stand <G 5975> up

against <G 5921> the Prince <G 8269> of princes <G 8269>; but he shall

be broken <G 7665> without <G 0657> hand <G 3027>.

8:26 And the vision <G 4758> of the evening <G 6153> and the morning

<G 1242> which <G 0834> was told <G 0560> [is] true <G 0571>: wherefore

shut <G 5640> thou up the vision <G 2377>; for it [shall be] for many

<G 7227> days <G 3117>.

8:27 And I Daniel <G 1840> fainted <G 1961>, and was sick <G 2470>

[certain] days <G 3117>; afterward I rose <G 6965> up, and did <G 6213>

the king's <G 4428> business <G 4399>; and I was astonished <G 8074> at

<G 5921> the vision <G 4758>, but none <G 0369> understood <G 0995> [it].
