Daniel 7:9-14
World English Bible
9 “I watched until thrones were placed,
and one who was ancient of days sat.
His clothing was white as snow,
and the hair of his head like pure wool.
His throne was fiery flames,
and its wheels burning fire.
10 A fiery stream issued and came out from before him.
Thousands of thousands ministered to him.
Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.
The judgment was set.
The books were opened.
11 “I watched at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke. I watched even until the animal was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire. 12 As for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
13 “I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 Dominion was given him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom one that which will not be destroyed.

Daniel 7:9-14
Christian Standard Bible
The Ancient of Days and the Son of Man
9 “As I kept watching,
thrones were set in place,(A)
and the Ancient of Days took his seat.
His clothing was white like snow,(B)
and the hair of his head like whitest wool.(C)
His throne was flaming fire;(D)
its wheels were blazing fire.(E)
10 A river of fire was flowing,
coming out from his presence.
Thousands upon thousands(F) served him;
ten thousand times ten thousand(G) stood before him.
The court was convened,(H)
and the books were opened.(I)
11 “I watched, then, because of the sound of the arrogant words the horn was speaking. As I continued watching, the beast was killed and its body destroyed and given over to the burning fire.(J) 12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was removed, but an extension of life was granted to them for a certain period of time.(K) 13 I continued watching in the night visions,
and suddenly one like a son of man(L)
was coming with the clouds of heaven.(M)
He approached the Ancient of Days
and was escorted before him.
14 He was given dominion(N)
and glory and a kingdom,
so that those of every people,
nation, and language(O)
should serve(P) him.
His dominion is an everlasting(Q) dominion
that will not pass away,
and his kingdom is one
that will not be destroyed.
