Daniel 8:3-10

English Standard Version

³I raised my eyes and saw, and behold, ^(A)a ram standing on the bank of the canal. It had two horns, and both horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last. ⁴I saw ^(B)the ram charging westward and northward and southward. No ^(C)beast ^(D)could stand before him, ^(E)and there was no one who could rescue from his power. ^(F)He did as he pleased and ^(G)became great.

⁵As I was considering, behold, a ^(H)male goat came from the west across the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground. And the goat had ^(I)a conspicuous horn between his eyes. ⁶He came to ^(J)the ram with the two horns, which I had seen standing on the bank of the canal, ^(K)and he ran at him in his powerful wrath. ⁷I saw him come close to the ram, ^(L)and he was enraged against him and struck the ram and broke his two horns. ^(M)And the ram had no power to stand before him, but he ^(N)cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. And there was no one who could rescue the ram from his power. ⁸Then ^(O)the goat ^(P)became exceedingly great, but when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four ^(Q)conspicuous horns toward ^(R)the four winds of heaven.

⁹Out of one of them came ^(S)a little horn, which grew exceedingly great toward ^(T)the south, toward the east, and toward ^(U)the glorious land. ¹⁰^(V)It grew great, ^(W)even to the host of heaven. And some of the host ^(X)and some^[a] of ^(Y)the stars it threw down to the ground and ^(Z)trampled on them.
