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
New King James Version
Vision of the Ancient of Days
9 “I(A) watched till thrones were [a]put in place,
And (B)the Ancient of Days was seated;
(C)His garment was white as snow,
And the hair of His head was like pure wool.
His throne was a fiery flame,
(D)Its wheels a burning fire;
10 (E)A fiery stream issued
And came forth from before Him.
(F)A thousand thousands ministered to Him;
Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.
(G)The [b]court was seated,
And the books were opened.
11 “I watched then because of the sound of the [c]pompous words which the horn was speaking; (H)I watched till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
13 “I was watching in the night visions,
And behold, (I)One like the Son of Man,
Coming with the clouds of heaven!
He came to the Ancient of Days,
And they brought Him near before Him.
14 (J)Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,
That all (K)peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him.
His dominion is (L)an everlasting dominion,
Which shall not pass away,
And His kingdom the one
Which shall not be destroyed.
