8. And the male goat became very great. But when he was strong, the large horn was broken, and in place of it four conspicuous ones came up toward the four winds of the heavens.
9. And from one of them came a little horn which became exceedingly great toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the Splendid Land.
10. And it became great, up to the host of the heavens. And it caused some of the host and some of the stars to fall to the earth, and trampled them down.
11. It even exalted itself as high as the Prince of the host. And it took that which is continual away from Him, and threw down the foundation of His set-apart place.
12. And because of transgression, an army was given over to the horn to oppose that which is continual. And it threw the truth down to the ground, and it acted and prospered.
13. Then I heard a certain set-apart one speaking. And another set-apart one said to that certain one who was speaking, “Till when is the vision, concerning that which is continual, and the transgression that lays waste, to make both the set-apart place and the host to be trampled under foot?”
14. And he said to me, “For two thousand three hundred days, then that which is set-apart shall be made right.”
15. And it came to be, when I, Dani’ĕl, had seen the vision, that I sought understanding, and see, before me stood one having the appearance of a mighty man.
16. And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, who called, and said, “Gaḇri’ĕl, make this man understand the vision.”
17. He then came near where I stood. And when he came I feared and I fell on my face, but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for the vision is for the time of the end.”
18. And, as he was speaking with me, I fell stunned upon my face to the ground, but he touched me, and made me stand up straight,
19. and said, “Look, I am making known to you what shall take place in the latter time of the wrath, for at the appointed time shall be the end.
