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.

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
came up
from
the sea,
diverse
one
from
another.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

As concerning the rest
of the beasts,
they had their dominion
taken away:
yet their lives
were prolonged
for
a season
and time.
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 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.
I
Daniel
was grieved
in my spirit
in the midst
of my body,
and the visions
of my head
troubled
me.
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,
which
are four,
are four
kings,
which shall arise
out of
the earth.
But the saints
of the most High
shall take
the kingdom,
and possess
the kingdom
for
ever,
even for
ever
and ever.
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 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 beheld,
and the same
horn
made
war
with
the saints,
and prevailed
against them;
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
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
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 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.

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 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.
As for me
Daniel,
my cogitations
much
troubled
me, and my countenance
changed
in me:
but I kept
the matter
in my heart.
