* In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king , a vision appeared unto me , [even ] to me Daniel , after that which appeared unto me at the first . * And I saw in the vision ; and it came to pass , when I saw , that I was in the fortress of Shushan , which is in the province of Elam . And I saw in the vision , and I was by the river Ulai . * And I lifted up mine eyes and saw , and behold , there stood before the river a ram which had two horns ; and the two horns were high ; and one was higher than the other , and the higher came up last . * I saw the ram pushing westward , and northward , and southward , and no beast could stand before him , neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand ; and he did according to his will , and became great . * And as I was considering , behold , a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth , and touched not the ground : and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes . * And he came to the ram that had the two horns , which I had seen standing before the river , and ran upon him in the fury of his power . * And I saw him come close to the ram , and he was enraged with him , and smote the ram , and broke his two horns ; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him ; and he cast him down to the ground , and trampled upon him ; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand . * And the he-goat became exceeding great ; but when he was become strong , the great horn was broken ; and in its stead came up four notable ones toward the four winds of the heavens . * And out of one of them came forth a little horn , which became exceeding great , toward the south , and toward the east , and toward the beauty [of the earth ]. * And it became great , even to the host of heaven ; and it cast down [some ] of the host and of the stars to the ground , and trampled upon them . * (And he magnified [himself ] even to the prince of the host , and from him the continual [sacrifice ] was taken away , and the place of his sanctuary was cast down . * And a time of trial was appointed unto the continual [sacrifice ] by reason of transgression .) And it cast down the truth to the ground ; and it practised and prospered . * And I heard one saint speaking , and another saint said unto that one who spoke , How long shall be the vision of the continual [sacrifice ] and of the transgression that maketh desolate , to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden down under foot ? * And he said unto me , Until two thousand and three hundred evenings [and ] mornings : then shall the sanctuary be vindicated .
