⁸ The goat became very great, but at the height of its power the large horn was broken off,^(A) and in its place four prominent horns grew up toward the four winds of heaven.^(B)

⁹ Out of one of them came another horn, which started small^(C) but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land.^{(D) 10} It grew until it reached^(E) the host of the heavens, and it threw some of the starry host down to the earth^(F) and trampled^(G) on them. ¹¹ It set itself up to be as great as the commander^(H) of the army of the Lord;^(I) it took away the daily sacrifice^(J) from the Lord, and his sanctuary was thrown down.^(K)

³ Then another sign appeared in heaven:^(A) an enormous red dragon^(B) with seven heads^(C) and ten horns^(D) and seven crowns^(E) on its heads. ⁴ Its tail swept a third^(F) of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth.^(G) The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child^(H) the moment he was born.
