I saw one like a human being^[a]
    coming with the clouds of heaven.
And he came to the Ancient One^[b]
    and was presented before him.^(A)
14 To him was given dominion
    and glory and kingship,
that all peoples, nations, and languages
    should serve him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
    that shall not pass away,
and his kingship is one
    that shall never be destroyed.^(B)

“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord
    and of his Messiah,^[a]
and he will reign forever and ever.”^(A)
