Daniel - ch 8 v 1 - 20
- In the third year of the reign of king Baltasar, a vision appeared to me. I Daniel, after what I had seen in the beginning,
- Saw in my vision when I was in the castle of Susa, which is in the province of Elam: and I saw in the vision that I was over the gate of Ulai.
- And I lifted up my eyes, and saw: and behold a ram stood before the water, having two high horns, and one higher than the other, and growing up. Afterward
- I saw the ram pushing with his horns against the west, and against the north, and against the south: and no beasts could withstand him, nor be delivered out of his hand: and he did according to his own will, and became great.
- And I understood: and behold a he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and he touched not the ground, and the he goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
- And he went up to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing before the gate, and he ran towards him in the force of his strength.
- And when he was come near the ram, he was enraged against him, and struck the ram: and broke his two horns, and the ram could not withstand him: and when he had cast him down on the ground, he stamped upon him, and none could deliver the ram out of his hand.
- And the he goat became exceeding great: and when he was grown, the great horn was broken, and there came up four horns under it towards the four winds of heaven.
- And out of one of them came forth a little horn: and it became great against the south, and against the east, and against the strength.
- And it was magnified even unto the strength of heaven: and it threw down of the strength, and of the stars, and trod upon them.
- And it was magnified even to the prince of the strength: and it took away from him the continual sacrifice, and cast down the place of his sanctuary.
- And strength was given him against the continual sacrifice, because of sins: and truth shall be cast down on the ground, and he shall do and shall prosper.
- And I heard one of the saints speaking, and one saint said to another, I know not to whom that was speaking: How long shall be the vision, concerning the continual sacrifice, and the sin of the desolation that is made: and the sanctuary, and the strength be trodden under foot?
- And he said to him: Unto evening and morning two thousand three hundred days: and the sanctuary shall be cleansed.
- And it came to pass when I Daniel saw the vision, and sought the meaning, that behold there stood before me as it were the appearance of a man.
- And I heard the voice of a man between Ulai: and he called, and said: Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
- And he came and stood near where I stood: and when he was come, I fell on my face trembling, and he said to me: Understand, O son of man, for in the time of the end the vision shall be fulfilled.
- And when he spoke to me I fell flat on the ground: and he touched me, and set me upright,
- And he said to me: I will shew thee what things are to come to pass in the end of the malediction: for the time hath its end.
- The ram, which thou sawest with horns, is the king of the Medes and Persians.
