5
I am still weary in mind and very weak in my spirit, and not even a little strength is left in me, because of the great fear with which I have been terrified tonight.
6
Therefore I will now entreat the Most High that he may strengthen me to the end."
7
Then I said, "O sovereign Lord, if I have found favor in your sight, and if I have been accounted righteous before you beyond many others, and if my prayer has indeed come up before your face,
8
strengthen me and show me, your servant, the interpretation and meaning of this terrifying vision so that you may fully comfort my soul.
9
For you have judged me worthy to be shown the end of the times and the last events of the times."
10
He said to me, "This is the interpretation of this vision that you have seen:
11
The eagle that you saw coming up from the sea is the fourth kingdom that appeared in a vision to your brother Daniel.
12
But it was not explained to him as I now explain to you or have explained it.
13
The days are coming when a kingdom shall rise on earth, and it shall be more terrifying than all the kingdoms that have been before it.
14
And twelve kings shall reign in it, one after another.
15
But the second that is to reign shall hold sway for a longer time than any other one of the twelve.
