Daniel 8:6-12 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.

8. The he-goat grew very powerful, but at the height of its strength the great horn was shattered, and in its place came up four others, facing the four winds of heaven.

9. Out of one of them came a little horn which grew and grew toward the south, the east, and the glorious land.

10. It grew even to the host of heaven, so that it cast down to earth some of the host and some of the stars and trampled on them.

11. It grew even to the Prince of the host, from whom the daily sacrifice was removed, and whose sanctuary was cast down.

12. The host was given over together with the daily sacrifice in the course of transgression. It cast truth to the ground, and was succeeding in its undertaking.
