9 “I^a 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.  ‡

13 “I was watching in the night visions,
And behold, ^aOne like the Son of Man,
Coming with the clouds of heaven!
He came to the Ancient of Days,
And they brought Him near before Him. ‡

14 ^aThen to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,
That all ^bpeoples, nations, and languages should serve Him.
His dominion is ^can everlasting dominion,
Which shall not pass away,
And His kingdom the one
Which shall not be destroyed.  ‡
