Dan.|8:1|-|In the |1|third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king a |a|vision appeared to me, Daniel, after the one that appeared to me at the beginning.
Dan.|8:2|-|And I looked in the vision, and while I looked, now I was in the fortress of |a|Shushan, which is in the province of Elam; and while I looked in the vision, I was beside the river Ulai.
Dan.|8:3|-|Then I lifted my eyes, and I looked, and there was a |1a|ram, standing before the river, and he had two horns. And the two horns were high, but one was higher than the other; and the higher one came up last.
Dan.|8:4|-|I saw the ram |1|pushing westward, northward, and southward; and no beast could stand before him, and there was no one who could deliver from his power; but he |2a|did as he pleased, and he became great.
Dan.|8:5|-|And while I considered this, there was a |1|male goat, coming from the west over the face of the whole earth without touching the ground; and the goat had a |2|conspicuous |a|horn between his eyes.
Dan.|8:6|-|And he came up to the ram that had the two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran toward him in his mighty wrath.
Dan.|8:7|-|And I saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged at him; and he struck the ram and |1|broke his two horns; and the ram had no strength to withstand him, but the goat threw him down to the ground and trampled him; and there was none to deliver the ram from his power.
Dan.|8:8|-|And the male goat became very |1|great. But once he became strong, the great horn was |1|broken, and in its place |2a|four conspicuous ones came up toward the four winds of heaven.
Dan.|8:9|-|And out of one of them came forth a |1|little |a|horn, which grew very great toward the |b|south, toward the east, and toward that which is |c|beautiful.
Dan.|8:10|-|And it grew great, |1|as high as the |a|host of heaven; and it caused some of the host and some of the |b|stars to fall to the earth, and it trampled them.
Dan.|8:11|-|Indeed, he grew in greatness to that of the |1a|Prince of the host; and |2|from Him the |b|daily sacrifice was |c|taken away, and the place of His |d|sanctuary was thrown down.
Dan.|8:12|-|And an army was given to him together with the daily sacrifice because of transgression; and he cast truth down to the ground, and he took action and prospered.
Dan.|8:13|-|Then I heard a |1|holy one speaking; and another |1|holy one said to the particular one who was speaking, How long will the vision concerning the daily sacrifice and the |a|transgression that desolates apply, so that the sanctuary and the host are trampled down?
Dan.|8:14|-|And he said to me, For |1a|two thousand three hundred nights and days; then the sanctuary will be |2|cleansed.
Dan.|8:15|-|And when I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought an understanding of it; and immediately there was someone with an appearance like that of a man standing before me.
Dan.|8:16|-|And I heard the voice of a man between the banks of the Ulai; and He called out and said, |a|Gabriel, cause this man to understand the vision.
Dan.|8:17|-|So he came near to where I stood; and when he came, I was afraid, and I |a|fell on my face; but he said to me, Understand, O son of man, that the vision pertains to the |b|end time.
Dan.|8:18|-|And as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep |a|sleep on my face upon the ground; but he |b|touched me and made me stand in my place.
Dan.|8:19|-|And he said, I now make known to you what will happen at the end of the indignation, for the vision pertains to the appointed time of the |a|end.
Dan.|8:20|-|The |a|ram that you saw, which had the two horns, are the kings of Media and Persia.
Dan.|8:21|-|And the hairy |a|goat is the king of |1|Javan; and the great horn which was between its eyes is the first |b|king.
Dan.|8:22|-|And the broken horn and the |a|four horns that arose in its place are four kingdoms that will arise from his nation, but not with his power.
Dan.|8:23|-|And in the latter time of their kingdom,When the transgressors have |a|filled up their transgressions,
A |1|king will |b|arise,|2|Of fierce countenance and skilled in |3|ambiguities.
Dan.|8:24|-|And his power will be mighty, but not by his own |a|power.And he will destroy in an extraordinary manner
And will prosper and take action.He will destroy mighty men
And the |b|holy people.
Dan.|8:25|-|Through his craftinessHe will also cause |a|deceit to prosper in his hand;
And he will |b|magnify himself in his heart;And he will destroy many who are complacently secure.
And against the |c|Prince of princes he will stand up;But he will be |d|broken, yet not by human hands.
Dan.|8:26|-|And the vision of the evenings and the mornings,Which has been told, is true.
But |a|shut the vision up,For it pertains to something many days from now.
Dan.|8:27|-|Then I, Daniel, was spent, and I was sick for days. Then I arose and conducted the king’s affairs; but I was astonished at the vision, and there was no one to explain it.
