now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the castle, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the stream Ulai. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the stream 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. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself. <p><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the stream, and ran at him in the fury of his power. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly; and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up the appearance of four horns toward the four winds of heaven. <p><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>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 beauteous land. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and from him the continual burnt-offering was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt-offering through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it wrought, and prospered. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said unto that certain one who spoke: ‘How long shall be the vision concerning the continual burnt-offering, and the transgression that causes appalment, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled under foot?’ <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>And he said unto me: ‘Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be victorious.’ <p><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>And I heard the voice of a man between the banks of Ulai, who called, and said: ‘Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.’ <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was terrified, and fell upon my face; but he said unto me: ‘Understand, O son of man; for the vision belongeth to the time of the end.’ <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>And he said: ‘Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongeth to the appointed time of the end. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>The ram which thou sawest having the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>And as for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have completed their transgression, there shall stand up a king of fierce countenance, and understanding stratagems. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do; and he shall destroy them that are mighty and the people of the saints. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>And through his cunning he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in time of security shall he destroy many; he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>And the vision of the evenings and mornings which hath been told is true; but thou, shut thou up the vision; for it belongeth to many days to come.’ <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/8-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king’s business; and I was appalled at the vision, but understood it not.</div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">THE HOLY SCRIPTURES<br>ACCORDING TO THE MASORETIC TEXT<br>A NEW TRANSLATION<p><a href="//www.jps.org/">Jewish Publication Society</a><br>1917<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/">Bible Hub</a></div></div></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="../daniel/7.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Daniel 7"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Daniel 7" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="../daniel/9.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Daniel 9"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Daniel 9" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="rightbox"><div class="padright"><div id="pic"><iframe width="100%" height="860" scrolling="no" src="//biblescan.com/mpad/daniel/8-1.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></div></div><div id="rightbox4"><div class="padright2"><div id="spons1"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td class="sp1"><iframe width="122" height="860" scrolling="no" src="../sidemenu.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></td></tr></table></div></div></div><div id="bot"><div align="center" style="background-color:#F2FAFF"><br /><br /> <table align="center" width="90%" style="max-width:900px"><tr><td> <div id="rcjsload_a957f3"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> (function() { var referer="";try{if(referer=document.referrer,"undefined"==typeof referer||""==referer)throw"undefined"}catch(exception){referer=document.location.href,(""==referer||"undefined"==typeof referer)&&(referer=document.URL)}referer=referer.substr(0,700);
