In
the
first
year
of
Belshazzar
king
of
Babylon
Daniel
had
a
dream
and
visions
of
his
head
upon
his
bed:
then
he
wrote
the
dream,
[and]
told
the
sum
of
the
matters.
2
Daniel
spake
and
said,
I
saw
in
my
vision
by
night,
and,
behold,
the
four
winds
of
the
heaven
strove
upon
the
great
sea.
3
And
four
great
beasts
came
up
from
the
sea,
diverse
one
from
another.
4
The
first
[was]
like
a
lion,
and
had
eagle’s
wings:
I
beheld
till
the
wings
thereof
were
plucked,
and
it
was
lifted
up
from
the
earth,
and
made
stand
upon
the
feet
as
a
man,
and
a
man’s
heart
was
given
to
5
And
behold
another
beast,
a
second,
like
to
a
bear,
and
it
raised
up
itself
on
one
side,
and
[it
had]
three
ribs
in
the
mouth
of
it
between
the
teeth
of
it:
and
they
said
thus
unto
it,
Arise,
devour
much
flesh.
6
After
this
I
beheld,
and
lo
another,
like
a
leopard,
which
had
upon
the
back
of
it
four
wings
of
a
fowl;
the
beast
had
also
four
heads;
and
dominion
was
given
to
7
After
this
I
saw
in
the
night
visions,
and
behold
a
fourth
beast,
dreadful
and
terrible,
and
strong
exceedingly;
and
it
had
great
iron
teeth:
it
devoured
and
brake
in
pieces,
and
stamped
the
residue
with
the
feet
of
it:
and
it
[was]
diverse
from
all
the
beasts
that
[were]
before
it;
and
it
had
ten
horns.
8
I
considered
the
horns,
and,
behold,
there
came
up
among
them
another
little
horn,
before
whom
there
were
three
of
the
first
horns
plucked
up
by
the
roots:
and,
behold,
in
this
horn
[were]
eyes
like
the
eyes
of
man,
and
a
mouth
speaking
great
things.
9
I
beheld
till
the
thrones
were
cast
down,
and
the
Ancient
of
days
did
sit,
whose
garment
[was]
white
as
snow,
and
the
hair
of
his
head
like
the
pure
wool:
his
throne
[was
like]
the
fiery
flame,
[and]
his
wheels
[as]
burning
fire.
10
A
fiery
stream
issued
and
came
forth
from
before
him:
thousand
thousands
ministered
unto
him,
and
ten
thousand
times
ten
thousand
stood
before
him:
the
judgment
was
set,
and
the
books
were
opened.
11
I
beheld
then
because
of
the
voice
of
the
great
words
which
the
horn
spake:
I
beheld
[even]
till
the
beast
was
slain,
and
his
body
destroyed,
and
given
to
the
burning
flame.
12
As
concerning
the
rest
of
the
beasts,
they
had
their
dominion
taken
away:
yet
their
lives
were
prolonged
for
a
season
and
time.
13
I
saw
in
the
night
visions,
and,
behold,
[one]
like
the
Son
of
man
came
with
the
clouds
of
heaven,
and
came
to
the
Ancient
of
days,
and
they
brought
him
near
before
him.
14
And
there
was
given
him
dominion,
and
glory,
and
a
kingdom,
that
all
people,
nations,
and
languages,
should
serve
him:
his
dominion
[is]
an
everlasting
dominion,
which
shall
not
pass
away,
and
his
kingdom
[that]
which
shall
not
be
destroyed.
15
I
Daniel
was
grieved
in
my
spirit
in
the
midst
of
[my]
body,
and
the
visions
of
my
head
troubled
16
I
came
near
unto
one
of
them
that
stood
by,
and
asked
him
the
truth
of
all
this.
So
he
told
me,
and
made
me
know
the
interpretation
of
the
things.
17
These
great
beasts,
which
are
four,
[are]
four
kings,
[which]
shall
arise
out
of
the
earth.
18
But
the
saints
of
the
most
High
shall
take
the
kingdom,
and
possess
the
kingdom
for
ever,
even
for
ever
and
ever.
19
Then
I
would
know
the
truth
of
the
fourth
beast,
which
was
diverse
from
all
the
others,
exceeding
dreadful,
whose
teeth
[were
of]
iron,
and
his
nails
[of]
brass;
[which]
devoured,
brake
in
pieces,
and
stamped
the
residue
with
his
feet;
20
And
of
the
ten
horns
that
[were]
in
his
head,
and
[of]
the
other
which
came
up,
and
before
whom
three
fell;
even
[of]
that
horn
that
had
eyes,
and
a
mouth
that
spake
very
great
things,
whose
look
[was]
more
stout
than
his
fellows.
21
I
beheld,
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
Thus
he
said,
The
fourth
beast
shall
be
the
fourth
kingdom
upon
earth,
which
shall
be
diverse
from
all
kingdoms,
and
shall
devour
the
whole
earth,
and
shall
tread
it
down,
and
break
it
in
pieces.
24
And
the
ten
horns
out
of
this
kingdom
[are]
ten
kings
[that]
shall
arise:
and
another
shall
rise
after
them;
and
he
shall
be
diverse
from
the
first,
and
he
shall
subdue
three
kings.
25
And
he
shall
speak
[great]
words
against
the
most
High,
and
shall
wear
out
the
saints
of
the
most
High,
and
think
to
change
times
and
laws:
and
they
shall
be
given
into
his
hand
until
a
time
and
times
and
the
dividing
of
time.
26
But
the
judgment
shall
sit,
and
they
shall
take
away
his
dominion,
to
consume
and
to
destroy
[it]
unto
the
end.
27
And
the
kingdom
and
dominion,
and
the
greatness
of
the
kingdom
under
the
whole
heaven,
shall
be
given
to
the
people
of
the
saints
of
the
most
High,
whose
kingdom
[is]
an
everlasting
kingdom,
and
all
dominions
shall
serve
and
obey
him.
28
Hitherto
[is]
the
end
of
the
matter.
As
for
me
Daniel,
my
cogitations
much
troubled
me,
and
my
countenance
changed
in
me:
but
I
kept
the
matter
in
my
heart.
