“While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little(A) one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being(B) and a mouth that spoke boastfully.(C)

“As I looked,

“thrones were set in place,
    and the Ancient of Days(D) took his seat.(E)
His clothing was as white as snow;(F)
    the hair of his head was white like wool.(G)
His throne was flaming with fire,
    and its wheels(H) were all ablaze.
10 A river of fire(I) was flowing,
    coming out from before him.(J)
Thousands upon thousands attended him;
    ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.
The court was seated,
    and the books(K) were opened.

11 “Then I continued to watch because of the boastful words the horn was speaking.(L) I kept looking until the beast was slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire.(M)

I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.

Vision of the Ancient of Days

“I(D) watched till thrones were [b]put in place,
And (E)the Ancient of Days was seated;
(F)His garment was white as snow,
And the hair of His head was like pure wool.
His throne was a fiery flame,
(G)Its wheels a burning fire;
10 (H)A fiery stream issued
And came forth from before Him.
(I)A thousand thousands ministered to Him;
Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.
(J)The [c]court was seated,
And the books were opened.

11 “I watched then because of the sound of the [d]pompous words which the horn was speaking; (K)I watched till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame.
