Vision of the Four Beasts

1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, aDaniel had a dream and bvisions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, telling2 the main facts.  
2 Daniel spoke, saying, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea.
3 And four great beasts acame up from the sea, each different from the other.  
4 The first was alike a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a bman’s heart was given to it.  
5 a“And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’  
6 “After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had afour heads, and dominion was given to it.  
7 “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, aa fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, band it had ten horns.  
8 I was considering the horns, and athere was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes bof a man, cand a mouth speaking pompous words. 

Vision of the Ancient of Days

9 “Ia watched till thrones were put in place,
And bthe Ancient of Days was seated;
cHis garment was white as snow,
And the hair of His head was like pure wool.
His throne was a fiery flame,
dIts wheels a burning fire; 
10 aA fiery stream issued
And came forth from before Him.
bA thousand thousands ministered to Him;
Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.
cThe1 court was seated,
And the books were opened.
