1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, even to me Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first. Compare verse2 commentaries
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. Compare verse3 commentaries
3 Then I lifted up my 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. Compare verse4 commentaries
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. Compare verse3 commentaries
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. Compare verse3 commentaries
6 And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran to him in the fury of his power. Compare verse
7 And I saw him come close to 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 stamped on him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. Compare verse2 commentaries
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. Compare verse3 commentaries
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. Compare verse4 commentaries
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 on them. Compare verse3 commentaries
11 Yes, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down. Compare verse3 commentaries
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 practiced, and prospered. Compare verse2 commentaries
13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said to that certain saint which spoke, 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? Compare verse3 commentaries
14 And he said to me, To two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. Compare verse3 commentaries
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. Compare verse1 commentary
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. Compare verse3 commentaries
17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell on my face: but he said to me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision. Compare verse5 commentaries
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. Compare verse2 commentaries
19 And he said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be. Compare verse1 commentary
20 The ram which you saw having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. Compare verse1 commentary
21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. Compare verse
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. Compare verse1 commentary
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. Compare verse1 commentary
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. Compare verse1 commentary
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. Compare verse1 commentary
26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: why shut you up the vision; for it shall be for many days. Compare verse3 commentaries
27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it. Compare verse2 commentaries
