27_DAN_08_01 in the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar A vision appeared unto me, [ even unto] me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
27_DAN_08_02 And I saw in A vision; And it came to pass, when I saw, that I [ was] at Shushan [ in] the palace, which [ Is] in the province of Elam; And I saw in A vision, And I was by the river of Ulai.
27_DAN_08_03 Then I lifted up mine eyes, And saw, And, behold, there stood before the river A ram which had [ two] horns: And the [ two] horns [ were] high; but one [ was] higher than the other, And the higher came up last.
27_DAN_08_04 I saw the ram pushing westward, And northward, And southward; So that no beasts might stand before him, neither [ was there any] that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, And became great.
27_DAN_08_05 And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, And touched not the ground: And the goat [ had] A notable horn between his eyes.
27_DAN_08_06 And he came to the ram that had [ two] horns, which I had seen standing before the river, And ran unto him in the fury of his power.
27_DAN_08_07 And I saw him come close unto the ram, And he was moved with choler against him, And smote the ram, And brake his two horns: And there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, And stamped upon him: And there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
27_DAN_08_08 therefore the he goat waxed very great: And when he was strong, the great horn was broken; And for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
27_DAN_08_09 And out of one of them came forth A little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, And toward the east, And toward the pleasant [ land].
27_DAN_08_10 And it waxed great, [ even] to the host of heaven; And it cast down [ some] of the host And of the stars to the ground, And stamped upon them.
27_DAN_08_11 yea, he magnified [ himself] even to the prince of the host, And by him the daily [ sacrifice] was taken away, And the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
27_DAN_08_12 And an host was given [ him] against the daily [ sacrifice] by reason of transgression, And it cast down the truth to the ground; And it practiced, And prospered.
27_DAN_08_13 Then I heard one saint speaking, And another saint said unto that certain [ saint] which spake, how long [ shall be] the vision [ concerning] the daily [ sacrifice], And the transgression of desolation, to give Both the sanctuary And the host to be trodden under foot?
27_DAN_08_14 And he said unto me, unto two thousand And three hundred days; Then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
27_DAN_08_15 And it came to pass, when I, [ even] I Daniel, had seen the vision, And sought for the meaning, Then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of A man.
27_DAN_08_16 And I heard A man's voice between [ the banks of] Ulai, which called, And said, Gabriel, make this [ man] to understand the vision.
27_DAN_08_17 So he came near where I stood: And when he came, I was afraid, And fell upon my face: but he said unto me, understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end [ shall be] the vision.
27_DAN_08_18 now as he was speaking with me, I was in A deep Sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, And set me upright.
27_DAN_08_19 And he said, behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end [ shall be].
27_DAN_08_20 the ram which thou sawest having [ two] horns [ are] the kings of Media And Persia.
27_DAN_08_21 And the rough goat [ Is] the king of Grecia: And the great horn that [ Is] between his eyes [ Is] the first king.
27_DAN_08_22 now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
27_DAN_08_23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, A king of fierce countenance, And understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
27_DAN_08_24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: And he shall destroy wonderfully, And shall prosper, And practice, And shall destroy the mighty And the holy people.
27_DAN_08_25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; And he shall magnify [ himself] in his heart, And by peace shall destroy Many: he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
27_DAN_08_26 And the vision of the evening And the morning which was told [ Is] true: Wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it [ shall be] for Many days.
27_DAN_08_27 And I Daniel fainted, And was sick [ certain] days; Afterward I rose up, And did the king's business; And I was astonished at the vision, but none understood [ it].
