15
And it came to pass, when I,
even
I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning,
then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
16
And I heard a man’s voice
between
the banks of
Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this
man
to understand the vision.
17
So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he
said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end
shall be
the vision.
18
Now as
he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me,
and set me upright.
19
And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of
the indignation: for at the time appointed the end
shall be.
20
The ram which thou sawest having
two
horns
are
the kings of Media and Persia.
21
And the rough goat
is
the king of Grecia: and the
great horn that
is
between his eyes
is
the first king.
22
Now that being broken, whereas four stood
up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
23
And in the latter
time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance,
and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24
And his power shall be mighty, but not by his
own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the
mighty and the holy people.
25
And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his
hand; and he shall magnify
himself
in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand
up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
26
And the vision of the
evening and the morning which was told
is
true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it
shall be
for many days.
27
And I Daniel fainted, and was sick
certain
days; afterward I rose up, and did the
king’s business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood
it.
CHAPTER 9
In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king
over the realm of the Chaldeans;
2
In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the
number of the years, whereof the word of the L
ORD
came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would
accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
3
And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and
sackcloth, and ashes:
4
And I prayed unto the L
ORD
my God, and made my confession, and said, O
Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to
them that keep his commandments;
5
We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done
wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
6
Neither
have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our
princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7
O Lord, righteousness
belongeth
unto
thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, and unto all Israel,
that are
near, and
that are
far off, through all the countries whither
thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
8
O Lord,
