15. And it came to pass when I Daniel saw the vision, and sought the meaning, that behold there stood before me as it were the appearance of a man.

16. And I heard the voice of a man between Ulai: and he called, and said: Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.

17. And he came and stood near where I stood: and when he was come, I fell on my face trembling, and he said to me: Understand, O son of man, for in the time of the end the vision shall be fulfilled.

18. And when he spoke to me I fell flat on the ground: and he touched me, and set me upright,

19. And he said to me: I will shew thee what things are to come to pass in the end of the malediction: for the time hath its end.

20. The ram, which thou sawest with horns, is the king of the Medes and Persians.

21. And the he goat, is the king of the Greeks, and the great horn that was between his eyes, the same is the first king.

23. And after their reign, when iniquities shall be grown up, there shall arise a king of a shameless face, and understanding dark sentences.
