Daniel 8 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

While I was observing ^H995, behold ^H2009, a male ^H6842 goat ^H6842 was coming ^H935 from the west ^H4628 over ^H5921 the surface ^H6440 of the entire ^H3605 earth ^H776 without ^H369 touching ^H5060 the ground ^H776; and the goat ^H6842 had a prominent ^H2380 horn ^H7161 between ^H996 his eyes ^H5869.

And out ^H3318 of one ^H259 of them came ^H3318 a rather small ^H6810 horn ^H7161 which grew ^H1431 exceedingly ^H3499 great ^H1431 toward ^H413 the south ^H5045, toward ^H413 the east ^H4217, and toward ^H413 the [fn]Beautiful ^H6643 Land.

When I, Daniel ^H1840, had seen ^H7200 the vision ^H2377, I sought ^H1245 [fn]to understand ^H998 it; and behold ^H2009, standing ^H5975 before ^H5048 me was one [fn]who ^H4758 looked ^H4758 like a man ^H1397.

Now while he was talking ^H1696 with me, I was ^H7290 dazed ^H7290 with my face ^H6440 to the ground ^H776; but he touched ^H5060 me and made me stand ^H5975 at my place ^H5977.

“And in the latter ^H319 period ^H319 of their [fn]dominion ^H4438,

When the wrongdoers ^H6586 have [fn]run ^H8552 their course,

A king ^H4428 will arise ^H5975,

[fn]Insolent ^H5794 H6440 and skilled ^H995 in [fn]intrigue ^H2420.

“And his power ^H3581 will be ^H6105 mighty ^H6105, but not by his own power ^H3581,

And he will [fn]destroy ^H7843 to ^H6381 an ^H6381 extraordinary ^H6381 degree ^H6381

And be ^H6743 successful ^H6743 and do ^H6213 as he pleases;

He will [fn]destroy ^H7843 mighty ^H6099 men ^H6099 and [fn]the holy ^H6918 people ^H5971.

“And through ^H5921 his shrewdness ^H7922

He will make ^H6743 deceit ^H4820 a ^H6743 success ^H6743 by his [fn]influence ^H3027;

And he will make ^H1431 himself great ^H1431 in his [fn]own mind ^H3824,

And he will [fn]destroy ^H7843 many ^H7227 while they are [fn]at ease ^H7962.

He will even [fn]oppose ^H5975 H5921 the Prince ^H8269 of princes ^H8269,

But he will be broken ^H7665 without ^H657 [fn]human ^H3027 agency ^H3027.

“And the vision ^H4758 of the evenings ^H6153 and mornings ^H1242

Which ^H834 has been told ^H559 is true ^H571;

But as for you, keep ^H5640 the vision ^H2377 secret ^H5640,

Because ^H3588 it pertains to many ^H7227 days ^H3117 in the future.”

Then I, Daniel ^H1840, was [fn]exhausted ^H1961 and sick ^H2470 for days ^H3117. Then I got ^H6965 up ^H6965 and carried ^H6213 on ^H6213 the king’s ^H4428 business ^H4399; but I was ^H8074 astounded ^H8074 at the vision ^H4758, and there ^H369 was ^H369 no ^H369 one ^H369 to explain ^H995 it.
