7:2 | Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. |

7:7 | After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the ![]() |
7:8 | I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn [were] eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. |
7:9 | I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of ![]() ![]() |

7:12 | As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and ![]() |
7:13 | I saw in the night visions, and, behold, [one] like the Son of man came with the ![]() ![]() |
7:14 | And there was given him dominion, and ![]() |
7:15 | I Daniel was grieved in my ![]() |
7:16 | I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the ![]() |
7:17 | These great beasts, which are four, [are] four ![]() ![]() |
7:18 | But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. |
7:19 | Then I would know the ![]() ![]() |

7:21 | I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; |
7:22 | Until the Ancient of ![]() ![]() |
7:23 | Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon ![]() ![]() |
7:24 | And the ten horns out of this kingdom [are] ten ![]() ![]() |
