Daniel 7:23-28
New American Standard Bible
23 “This is what he said: ‘The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth which will be different from all the other kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth and trample it down and crush it. 24 As for the (A)ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will [a]humble three kings. 25 And he will [b](B)speak against the (C)Most High and (D)wear down the [c]saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make (E)alterations in times and in law; and [d]they will be handed over to him for a [e](F)time, [f]times, and half a [g]time. 26 But the court will [h]convene for judgment, and his dominion will be (G)taken away, [i]annihilated and destroyed [j]forever. 27 Then the [k](H)sovereignty, the dominion, and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the [l]saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an (I)everlasting kingdom, and all the empires will (J)serve and obey Him.’
28 “[m]At this point the revelation ended. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts were (K)greatly alarming me and my [n]face became pale, but I (L)kept the matter [o]to myself.”
