I saw the rampushingwestward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might standbefore him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
5
And as I was considering, behold, an hegoatcame from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notablehorn between his eyes.
7
And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his twohorns: and there was no power in the ram to standbefore 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
Therefore the hegoat waxed verygreat: and when he was strong, the greathorn was broken; and for it came upfour notable ones toward the fourwinds of heaven.
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.
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 practised, and prospered.
13
Then I heardonesaintspeaking, and anothersaintsaid 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?
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.
17
So he camenear 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.
