Daniel 7:3-17
English Standard Version
3 And four great beasts (A)came up out of the sea, different from one another. 4 The first was like a lion and had eagles' wings. Then as I looked its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and the mind of a man was given to it. 5 And behold, (B)another beast, a second one, like a bear. It was raised up on one side. It had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told, ‘Arise, devour much flesh.’ 6 After this I looked, and behold, another, like a (C)leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back. And the beast had four heads, and (D)dominion was given to it. 7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, (E)terrifying and dreadful and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth; (F)it devoured and broke in pieces (G)and stamped what was left with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and (H)it had ten horns. 8 I considered the horns, and behold, (I)there came up among them another horn, a little one, (J)before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and (K)a mouth speaking great things.
The Ancient of Days Reigns
9 “As I looked,
(L)thrones were placed,
and the (M)Ancient of Days took his seat;
(N)his clothing was white as snow,
and (O)the hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames;
(P)its wheels were burning fire.
10 (Q)A stream of fire issued
and came out from before him;
(R)a thousand thousands (S)served him,
(T)and ten thousand times ten thousand (U)stood before him;
the (V)court sat in judgment,
and (W)the books were opened.
11 “I looked then because of the sound of (X)the great words that the horn was speaking. And as I looked, (Y)the beast was killed, and its body destroyed (Z)and given over to be burned with fire. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, (AA)their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
The Son of Man Is Given Dominion
13 “I saw in the night visions,
and (AB)behold, with the clouds of heaven
there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the (AC)Ancient of Days
and was presented before him.
14 (AD)And to him was given dominion
and glory and a kingdom,
that all (AE)peoples, nations, and languages
should serve him;
(AF)his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one
that shall not be destroyed.
Daniel's Vision Interpreted
15 “As for me, Daniel, my spirit within me[a] was anxious, and (AG)the visions of my head alarmed me. 16 I approached one of those who stood there and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of the things. 17 (AH)‘These four great beasts are four kings who shall arise out of the earth.

Isaiah 25:3-5
English Standard Version
3 (A)Therefore strong peoples will glorify you;
cities of ruthless nations will fear you.
4 (B)For you have been a stronghold to the poor,
a stronghold to the needy in his distress,
(C)a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat;
(D)for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,
5 (E)like heat in a dry place.
You subdue the noise of the foreigners;
as heat by the shade of a cloud,
so the song of the ruthless is put down.
