And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as {the feet} of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.

Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.

And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

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. {touched...: or, none touched him in the earth} {a notable...: Heb. a horn of sight}

Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe {them}:

And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar: {divers...: Heb. embroidering}

The first {was} like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. {and it: or, wherewith it}

The ram which thou sawest having {two} horns {are} the kings of Media and Persia.

And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.

Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, {and} a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, {and} their backslidings are increased. {evenings: or, deserts} {are increased: Heb. are strong}

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.

And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.

Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.

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. {touched...: or, none touched him in the earth} {a notable...: Heb. a horn of sight}

And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment {was} as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
