2. In my vision I saw myself in the fortress of Susa in the province of Elam; I was beside the river Ulai.
3. I looked up and saw standing by the river a ram with two great horns, the one larger and newer than the other.
4. I saw the ram butting toward the west, north, and south. No beast could withstand it or be rescued from its power; it did what it pleased and grew powerful.
5. As I was reflecting, a he-goat with a prominent horn on its forehead suddenly came from the west across the whole earth without touching the ground.
6. It came to the two-horned ram I had seen standing by the river, and rushed toward it with savage force.
7. I saw it reach the ram; enraged, the he-goat attacked and shattered both its horns. The ram did not have the strength to withstand it; the he-goat threw the ram to the ground and trampled upon it. No one could rescue the ram from its power.
