─┴╬ 8:1 ╔N THE THIRD YEAR OF THE REIGN OF KING ┬ELSHAZZAR A VISION APPEARED UNTO ME, EVEN UNTO ME ─ANIEL, AFTER THAT WHICH APPEARED UNTO ME AT THE FIRST.
─┴╬ 8:2 ┴ND ╔ SAW IN A VISION; AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN ╔ SAW, THAT ╔ WAS AT ╙HUSHAN IN THE PALACE, WHICH IS IN THE PROVINCE OF ┼LAM; AND ╔ SAW IN A VISION, AND ╔ WAS BY THE RIVER OF ╒LAI.
─┴╬ 8:3 ╘HEN ╔ 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.
─┴╬ 8:4 ╔ 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.
─┴╬ 8:5 ┴ND AS ╔ 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.
─┴╬ 8:6 ┴ND HE CAME TO THE RAM THAT HAD TWO HORNS, WHICH ╔ HAD SEEN STANDING BEFORE THE RIVER, AND RAN UNTO HIM IN THE FURY OF HIS POWER.
─┴╬ 8:7 ┴ND ╔ 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.
─┴╬ 8:8 ╘HEREFORE 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.
─┴╬ 8:9 ┴ND 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.
─┴╬ 8:10 ┴ND 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.
─┴╬ 8:11 ┘EA, HE MAGNIFIED HIMSELF EVEN TO THE PRINCE OF THE HOST, AND BY HIM THE DAILY SACRIFICE WAS TAKEN AWAY, AND THE PLACE OF THE SANCTUARY WAS CAST DOWN.
─┴╬ 8:12 ┴ND AN HOST WAS GIVEN HIM AGAINST THE DAILY SACRIFICE BY REASON OF TRANSGRESSION, AND IT CAST DOWN THE TRUTH TO THE GROUND; AND IT PRACTISED, AND PROSPERED.
─┴╬ 8:13 ╘HEN ╔ HEARD ONE SAINT SPEAKING, AND ANOTHER SAINT SAID UNTO THAT CERTAIN SAINT WHICH SPAKE, ╚OW 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?
─┴╬ 8:14 ┴ND HE SAID UNTO ME, ╒NTO TWO THOUSAND AND THREE HUNDRED DAYS; THEN SHALL THE SANCTUARY BE CLEANSED.
─┴╬ 8:15 ┴ND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN ╔, EVEN ╔ ─ANIEL, HAD SEEN THE VISION, AND SOUGHT FOR THE MEANING, THEN, BEHOLD, THERE STOOD BEFORE ME AS THE APPEARANCE OF A MAN.
─┴╬ 8:16 ┴ND ╔ HEARD A MAN'S VOICE BETWEEN THE BANKS OF ╒LAI, WHICH CALLED, AND SAID, ╟ABRIEL, MAKE THIS MAN TO UNDERSTAND THE VISION.
─┴╬ 8:17 ╙O HE CAME NEAR WHERE ╔ STOOD: AND WHEN HE CAME, ╔ WAS AFRAID, AND FELL UPON MY FACE: BUT HE SAID UNTO ME, ╒NDERSTAND, ╧ SON OF MAN: FOR AT THE TIME OF THE END SHALL BE THE VISION.
─┴╬ 8:18 ╬OW AS HE WAS SPEAKING WITH ME, ╔ WAS IN A DEEP SLEEP ON MY FACE TOWARD THE GROUND: BUT HE TOUCHED ME, AND SET ME UPRIGHT.
─┴╬ 8:19 ┴ND HE SAID, ┬EHOLD, ╔ WILL MAKE THEE KNOW WHAT SHALL BE IN THE LAST END OF THE INDIGNATION: FOR AT THE TIME APPOINTED THE END SHALL BE.
─┴╬ 8:20 ╘HE RAM WHICH THOU SAWEST HAVING TWO HORNS ARE THE KINGS OF ═EDIA AND ╨ERSIA.
─┴╬ 8:21 ┴ND THE ROUGH GOAT IS THE KING OF ╟RECIA: AND THE GREAT HORN THAT IS BETWEEN HIS EYES IS THE FIRST KING.
─┴╬ 8:22 ╬OW THAT BEING BROKEN, WHEREAS FOUR STOOD UP FOR IT, FOUR KINGDOMS SHALL STAND UP OUT OF THE NATION, BUT NOT IN HIS POWER.
─┴╬ 8:23 ┴ND 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.
─┴╬ 8:24 ┴ND HIS POWER SHALL BE MIGHTY, BUT NOT BY HIS OWN POWER: AND HE SHALL DESTROY WONDERFULLY, AND SHALL PROSPER, AND PRACTISE, AND SHALL DESTROY THE MIGHTY AND THE HOLY PEOPLE.
─┴╬ 8:25 ┴ND 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 ╨RINCE OF PRINCES; BUT HE SHALL BE BROKEN WITHOUT HAND.
─┴╬ 8:26 ┴ND 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.
─┴╬ 8:27 ┴ND ╔ ─ANIEL FAINTED, AND WAS SICK CERTAIN DAYS; AFTERWARD ╔ ROSE UP, AND DID THE KING'S BUSINESS; AND ╔ WAS ASTONISHED AT THE VISION, BUT NONE UNDERSTOOD IT.
