King James Version
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon ,
Daniel hath
seen
a dream ,
and the
visions of his head on
his bed ,
then the dream he
hath
written
, the chief
of the things
he
hath
said
.
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
.
Answered
hath
Daniel and said, `
I was
seeing
in my vision by night, and lo
, the four winds of the heavens
are
coming
forth
to
the great sea ;
Daniel spake
and said, I saw
in my vision by night, and, behold,
the four winds of the heaven
strove
upon
the great sea .
and four great beasts are
coming
up from the sea, diverse one from another.
And four great beasts came
up from the sea, diverse one from another.
The first `is'
like a lion, and it
hath
an
eagle's wings .
I was
seeing
till that
its
wings have
been
plucked, and it hath
been
lifted up from the earth, and on
feet as a man it
hath
been
caused
to
stand
, and a heart of
man
is
given to it.
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 it.
And lo,
another beast, a second, like to a bear, and to
the
same
authority
it hath
been
raised, and three ribs `are'
in its
mouth ,
between its
teeth ,
and thus
they are
saying
to
it, Rise
, consume
much flesh.
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.
`
After this I was
seeing
, and lo ,
another like a leopard, and
it hath
four wings of a fowl on
its
back,
and
four
heads
hath
the beast ,
and dominion is
given to it.
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 it.
`
After this I was
seeing
in the visions
of
the
night, and lo,
a fourth beast, terrible
and fearful
, and exceedingly
strong; and it hath
iron teeth very
great,
it
hath
consumed,
yea,
it doth
break
small
, and the remnant
with its
feet it hath
trampled;
and it `is'
diverse from all the beasts that `are'
before it; and it hath
ten horns.
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.
`
I was
considering
about
the horns, and lo
, another
horn,
a
little
one
, hath
come
up between
them, and
three of the first horns have
been
eradicated
from
before
it,
and lo
, eyes as
the eyes of man `are'
in
this
horn
, and a mouth speaking great things.
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.
`
I was
seeing
till that
thrones have
been
thrown
down, and the Ancient of Days is
seated
, His
garment as snow `is'
white
, and the hair of his head `is'
as
pure wool ,
His throne flames
of
fire
, its
wheels burning fire.
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.
A flood
of
fire
is
proceeding
and coming
forth from before Him ,
a
thousand thousands do
serve
Him, and a
myriad
of
myriads
before Him do
rise
up,
the Judge
is
seated
, and the books have
been
opened.
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.
`
I was
seeing,
then ,
because of the voice of the great words that
the horn is
speaking,
I was
seeing
till that
the beast is
slain, and his body hath
been
destroyed, and given to the burning fire;
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.
and
the rest of the beasts have
caused
their dominion to
pass
away ,
and
a
prolongation
in
life
is
given
to
them,
till
a season and a
time.
As
concerning
the rest of the beasts ,
they
had
their dominion taken
away :
yet
their
lives
were
prolonged
for
a season and time.
`
I was
seeing
in the visions
of
the
night, and lo
, with
the
clouds
of
the heavens
as
a
son of man was
`one'
coming
, and unto
the Ancient of Days he
hath
come
, and before
Him
they have
brought him near.
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
.
And to
him
is
given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, and
all peoples
, nations, and languages do
serve him ,
his dominion `
is '
a
dominion age-during
, that
passeth
not away, and his kingdom that which is
not destroyed.
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.
`Pierced
hath
been
my
spirit
--
I ,
Daniel --
in the midst of the
sheath
, and the visions of my head trouble
me ;
I Daniel was
grieved
in my
spirit
in
the midst of my
body
, and the visions of my head troubled
me .
I have
drawn
near unto one of those
standing
, and the
certainty
I
seek
from
him of all this ;
and
he hath
said
to
me, yea,
the interpretation of the things he
hath
caused
me
to
know:
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 .
`
These great beasts, that
`
are '
four, `
are '
four kings, they
rise
up
from
the earth ;
These great beasts, which
are four, are four kings, which
shall
arise
out
of
the earth .
and
receive
the
kingdom
do
the saints of the Most High, and they
strengthen
the kingdom unto
the
age
, even unto
the
age
of
the
ages
.
But
the saints of the most High shall
take
the
kingdom
, and possess
the kingdom for
ever
, even for
ever
and
ever
.
`
Then I wished
for
certainty
concerning
the fourth beast, that
was diverse from them
all, fearful
exceedingly;
its
teeth of iron, and its
nails of brass ,
it
hath
devoured, it
doth
break
small
, and the remnant
with its
feet it
hath
trampled
;
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;
and concerning
the ten horns that `are'
in its
heads
, and of the other that
came up, and before which
three have
fallen,
even of that horn that hath
eyes, and a mouth speaking
great things, and
whose appearance
`is'
great
above
its
companions
.
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
.
`
I was
seeing
, and this
horn is
making
war with the saints, and hath
prevailed over
them ,
I beheld
, and the
same
horn made
war with the saints, and prevailed against
them ;
till
that
the Ancient of Days hath
come
, and judgment is
given to the saints of the Most High ,
and the time hath
come,
and
the saints have
strengthened
the kingdom.
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.
`
Thus he said :
The fourth beast is
the fourth kingdom in
the
earth, that
is
diverse from all kingdoms, and it
consumeth
all
the earth, and treadeth
it down, and breaketh
it small
.
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
.
And the ten horns out of the
kingdom `
are '
ten kings ,
they
rise,
and another doth
rise after them ,
and it
is
diverse from the former
, and three kings it
humbleth;
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 .
and words as
an
adversary
of
the Most High it
doth
speak
, and the saints of the Most High it
doth
wear
out
, and it
hopeth
to change seasons
and law;
and they are
given into its
hand ,
till
a time ,
and times ,
and a
division
of a
time.
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.
`And
the Judge
is
seated
, and its
dominion
they cause
to
pass
away, to cut
off,
and to destroy --
unto the end ;
But
the judgment
shall
sit
, and they shall
take
away his
dominion
, to consume
and to destroy it
unto the end .
and the kingdom ,
and the
dominion, even
the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heavens
, is
given to the people --
the saints of the Most High, His
kingdom `
is '
a
kingdom age-during
, and all dominions do
serve and obey Him.
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.
`
Hitherto `
is '
the end of the matter. I,
Daniel, greatly
do
my thoughts
trouble
me, and my countenance is
changed on
me ,
and
the matter in my heart I
have
kept
.
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.
