⁶ After this I looked, and behold, another, like a ^(A)leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back. And the beast had four heads, and ^(B)dominion was given to it.

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

² “And now I will show you ^(A)the truth. Behold, three more kings shall arise in Persia, and a fourth shall be far richer than all of them. And when he has become strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece. ³ Then ^(B)a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion and ^(C)do as he wills. ⁴ And as soon as he has arisen, ^(D)his kingdom shall be broken and divided ^(E)toward the ^(F)four winds of heaven, but ^(G)not to his posterity, nor according to the authority with which he ruled, for his kingdom shall be plucked up and go to others besides these.
