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 <G 1121> of man <G 0120>: for at the

time <G 6256> of the end <G 7093> [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].
