Daniel 8:20-25
English Standard Version
20 As for (A)the ram that you saw with the two horns, these are the kings of (B)Media and Persia. 21 And (C)the goat[a] is the king of Greece. And (D)the great horn between his eyes is (E)the first king. 22 (F)As for the horn that was broken, in place of which four others arose, four kingdoms shall arise from his[b] nation, (G)but not with his power. 23 And at the latter end of their kingdom, when the transgressors have reached their limit, a king of bold face, one who understands riddles, shall arise. 24 His power shall be great—(H)but not by his own power; and he shall cause fearful destruction (I)and shall succeed in what he does, (J)and destroy mighty men and the people who are the saints. 25 (K)By his cunning he shall make deceit prosper under his hand, and in his own mind (L)he shall become great. (M)Without warning he shall destroy many. And he (N)shall even rise up against the Prince of princes, and he shall be broken—but (O)by no human hand.
