 8:1 ¶ In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me, Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.

 8:1 ¶ In the third° year° of the reign° of king° Belshazzar° a vision° appeared°° unto° me, [even unto] me° Daniel,° after° that° which appeared°° unto° me at the first.°

 8:2 And I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.

 8:2 And I saw°° in a vision;° and it came to pass,° when I saw,°° that I° [was] at Shushan° [in] the palace,° which° [is] in the province° of Elam;° and I saw°° in a vision,° and I° was° by° the river° of Ulai.°

 8:3 Then I 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.

 8:3 Then I 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 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.

 8:4 I 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 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 notable horn between his eyes.

 8:5 And as I° 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 And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power.

 8:6 And he came°° to° the ram° that had° [two] horns,° which° I had seen°° standing°° before° the river,° and ran°° unto° him in the fury° of his power.°

 8:7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with anger 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 trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

 8:7 And I saw°° him come°° close° unto° the ram,° and he was moved with choler°° against° him, and smote°°° the ram,° and brake°°° his 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 And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable [horns] toward the four winds of heaven.

 8:8 Therefore 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 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 glorious [land].

 8:9 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 pleasant° [land].

 8:10 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.

 8:10 And 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 Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and it took away from him the continual [burnt-offering], and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

 8:11 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.°°

 8:12 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 did [its pleasure] and prospered.

 8:12 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.°°

 8:13 ¶ Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said unto that certain one who spake, How long shall be the vision [concerning] the continual [burnt-offering], and the transgression that maketh desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

 8:13 ¶ Then I heard°° one° saint° speaking,°° and another° saint° said°° 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?°

 8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings [and] mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

 8:14 And he said°° unto° me, Unto° two thousand° and three° hundred° days;°° then shall the sanctuary° be cleansed.°°

 8:15 ¶ 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.

 8:15 ¶ 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.°

 8:16 And I heard°° a man's° voice° between° [the banks of] Ulai,° which called,°° and said,°° Gabriel,° make this° [man] to understand°°° the vision.°

 8:17 So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was affrighted, 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.

 8:17 So he came°° near° 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.°°

 8:18 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.

 8:18 Now as he was speaking°° with° me, I was in a deep sleep°° on° my face° toward the ground:° but he touched°° me, and set°° me upright.°°

 8:19 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.

 8:19 And he said,°° Behold,° I 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 The ram which thou sawest, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.

 8:22 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.

 8:22 Now 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 And 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.

 8:23 And 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.°°
