⁹ Then ·a little horn grew from one of those four horns [^Lfrom one of them came out another horn, a little one; 7:8], and it became very ·big [great]. It grew to the south, the east, and toward the beautiful land [^CJudah; Ezek. 20:6, 15]. ¹⁰ That ·little horn [^Lit] grew ·until it reached to the sky [^Lto the hosts of heaven; ^Cthe angels and the stars]. It even threw some of the ·army of heaven [^Lhosts and the stars] to the ground and ·walked on [trampled] them! ¹¹ ·That little horn [^LIt] set itself up as equal to the prince of ·heaven’s armies [^Lthe hosts; ^CGod]. It ·stopped [abolished] the ·daily [regular] sacrifices [Ex. 29:38–41; Num. 28:3–8] that were offered to him, and the ·Temple, the place where people worshiped him, [^Lplace of the sanctuary] was ·pulled down [overthrown].
