ASV_Strong : Daniel 7
1. In the first[H2298] year[H8140] of Belshazzar[H1113] king[H4430] of Babylon[H895] Daniel[H1841] had[H2370] a dream[H2493] and visions[H2376] of his head[H7217] upon[H5922] his bed[H4903]: then[H116] he wrote[H3790] the dream[H2493] and told[H560] the sum[H7217] of the matters[H4406].
2. 340[H1841] spake[H6032] and said[H560], I saw[H2370] in my vision[H2376] by[H5974] night[H3916], and[H718], behold, the four[H703] winds[H7308] of heaven[H8065] brake[H1519] forth upon the great[H7229] sea[H3221].
3. And four[H703] great[H7260] beasts[H2423] came up[H5559] from[H4481] the sea[H3221], diverse[H8133] one[H1668] from[H4481] another[H1668].
4. The first[H6933] was like a lion[H744], and had eagle[H5403]'s wings[H1611]: I beheld[H1934] till[H5705] the wings[H1611] thereof were plucked[H4804], and it was lifted up[H5191] from[H4481] the earth[H772], and made to stand[H6966] upon[H5922] two feet[H7271] as a man[H606]; and a man[H606]'s heart[H3825] was given to it[H3052].
5. And[H718], behold, another[H317] beast[H2423], a second[H8578], like[H1821] to a bear[H1678]; and it was raised up[H6966] on one[H2298] side[H7859], and three[H8532] ribs[H5967] were in its mouth[H6433] between[H997] its teeth[H8128]: and they said[H560] thus[H3652] unto it[H6966], Arise, devour[H399] much[H7690] flesh[H1321].
6. After[H870] this[H1836] I beheld[H1934], and[H718], lo, another[H317], like a leopard[H5245], which had upon[H5922] its back[H1355] four[H703] wings[H1611] of a bird[H5776]; the beast[H2423] had also four[H703] heads[H7217]; and dominion[H7985] was given to it[H3052].
7. After[H870] this[H1836] I saw[H1934] in the night[H3916] - visions[H2376], and[H718], behold, a fourth[H7244] beast[H2423], terrible[H574] and powerful[H8624], and strong exceedingly[H3493]; and it had great[H7260] iron[H6523] teeth[H8128]; it devoured[H399] and brake in pieces[H1855], and stamped[H7512] the residue[H7606] with its[H1932] feet[H7271]: and it[H1932] was diverse[H8133] from[H4481] all[H3606] the beasts[H2423] that were before[H6925] it[H6236]; and it had ten horns[H7162].
8. I considered[H1934] the horns[H7162], and[H431], behold, there came up[H5559] among[H997] them another[H317] horn[H7162], a little[H2192] one[H6925], before which three[H8532] of[H4481] the first[H6933] horns[H7162] were plucked up by the roots[H6132]: and[H431], behold, in this[H1668] horn[H7162] were eyes[H5870] like the eyes[H5870] of a man[H606], and a mouth[H6433] speaking[H4449] great things[H7260].
9. I beheld[H1934] till[H5705] thrones[H3764] were placed[H7412], and one that was ancient[H6268] of days[H3118] did sit[H3488]: his raiment[H3831] was white[H2358] as snow[H8517], and the hair[H8177] of his head[H7217] like pure[H5343] wool[H6015]; his throne[H3764] was fiery[H5135] flames[H7631], and the wheels[H1535] thereof burning[H1815] fire[H5135].
10. A fiery[H5135] stream[H5103] issued[H5047] and came forth[H5312] from[H4481] before[H6925] him[H506]: thousands of thousands[H506] ministered[H8120] unto him[H7240], and ten thousand times ten thousand[H7240] stood[H6966] before[H6925] him[H1780]: the judgment was set[H3488], and the books[H5609] were opened[H6606].
11. I beheld[H1934] at that time[H116] because[H4481] of the voice[H7032] of the great[H7260] words[H4406] which the horn[H7162] spake[H4449]; I beheld[H1934] even till[H5705] the beast[H2423] was slain[H6992], and its body[H1655] destroyed[H7], and it was given[H3052] to be burned[H3346] with fire[H785].
12. And as for the rest[H7606] of the beasts[H2423], their dominion[H7985] was taken away[H5709]: yet their lives[H2417] were prolonged[H3052] for[H5705] a season[H2166] and a time[H5732].
13. I saw[H1934] in the night[H3916] - visions[H2376], and[H718], behold, there came[H858] with[H5974] the clouds[H6050] of heaven[H8065] one like unto a son[H1247] of man[H606], and he came[H4291] even to[H5705] the ancient[H6268] of days[H3118], and they brought him near[H7127] before him[H6925].
14. And there was given[H3052] him dominion[H7985], and glory[H3367], and a kingdom[H4437], that all[H3606] the peoples[H5972], nations[H524], and languages[H3961] should serve[H6399] him[H7985]: his dominion is an everlasting[H5957] dominion[H7985], which shall not[H3809] pass away[H5709], and his kingdom[H4437] that which shall not[H3809] be destroyed[H2255].
15. As for me[H576], Daniel[H1841], my spirit[H7308] was grieved[H3735] in the midst[H1459] of my body[H5085], and the visions[H2376] of my head[H7217] troubled me[H927].
16. I came near[H7127] unto[H5922] one[H2298] of[H4481] them that stood by[H6966], and asked[H1156] him[H4481] the truth[H3330] concerning all[H3606] this[H1836]. So he told[H560] me[H3046], and made me know the interpretation[H6591] of the things[H4406].
17. These[H459] great[H7260] beasts[H2423], which[H581] are four[H703], are four[H703] kings[H4430], that shall arise[H6966] out of[H4481] the earth[H772].
18. But the saints[H6922] of the Most High[H5946] shall receive[H6902] the kingdom[H4437], and possess[H2631] the kingdom[H4437] for[H5705] ever[H5957], even for[H5705] ever[H5957] and ever[H5957].
19. Then[H116] I desired[H6634] to know the truth[H3321] concerning[H5922] the fourth[H7244] beast[H2423], which was[H1934] diverse[H8133] from[H4481] all[H3606] of them[H3493], exceeding terrible[H1763], whose teeth[H8128] were of iron[H6523], and its nails[H2953] of brass[H5174]; which devoured[H399], brake in pieces[H1855], and stamped[H7512] the residue[H7606] with its feet[H7271];
20. and concerning the ten[H6236] horns[H7162] that were on its head[H7217], and the other[H317] horn which came up[H5559], and before[H4481] which three[H8532] fell[H5308], even that[H1797] horn[H7162] that[H1797] had eyes[H5870], and a mouth[H6433] that spake[H4449] great things[H7260], whose look[H2376] was more[H4481] stout[H7229] than[H4481] its fellows[H2273].
21. I beheld[H1934], and the same[H1797] horn[H7162] made[H5648] war[H7129] with[H5974] the saints[H6922], and prevailed against them[H3202];
22. until[H5705] the ancient[H6268] of days[H3118] came[H858], and judgment[H1780] was given[H3052] to the saints[H6922] of the Most High[H5946], and the time[H2166] came[H4291] that the saints[H6922] possessed[H2631] the kingdom[H4437].
23. Thus[H3652] he said[H560], The fourth[H7244] beast[H2423] shall be[H1934] a fourth[H7244] kingdom[H4437] upon earth[H772], which shall be diverse[H8133] from[H4481] all[H3606] the kingdoms[H4437], and shall devour[H399] the whole[H3606] earth[H772], and shall tread it down[H1759], and break it in pieces[H1855].
24. And as for the ten[H6236] horns[H7162], out of[H4481] this kingdom[H4437] shall ten[H6236] kings[H4430] arise[H6966]: and another[H321] shall arise[H6966] after[H311] them[H8133]; and he shall be diverse from[H4481] the former[H6933], and he shall put down[H8214] three[H8532] kings[H4430].
25. And he shall speak[H4449] words[H4406] against[H6655] the Most High[H5943], and shall wear out[H1080] the saints[H6922] of the Most High[H5946]; and he shall think[H5452] to change[H8133] the times[H2166] and the law[H1882]; and they shall be given[H3052] into his hand[H3028] until[H5705] a time[H5732] and times[H5732] and half[H6387] a time[H5732].
26. But the judgment[H1780] shall be set[H3488], and they shall take away[H5709] his dominion[H7985], to consume[H8046] and to destroy[H7] it unto[H5705] the end[H5491].
27. And the kingdom[H4437] and the dominion[H7985], and the greatness[H7238] of the kingdoms[H4437] under[H8460] the whole[H3606] heaven[H8065], shall be given[H3052] to the people[H5972] of the saints[H6922] of the Most High[H5946]: his kingdom[H4437] is an everlasting[H5957] kingdom[H4437], and all[H3606] dominions[H7985] shall serve[H6399] and obey him[H8086].
28. Here[H5705] is the end[H5491] of the matter[H4406]. As for me[H576], Daniel[H1841], my thoughts much[H7690] troubled[H927] me[H5922], and my countenance[H2122] was changed[H8133] in me[H5922]: but I kept[H5202] the matter[H4406] in my heart[H3821].
