7. “After these things, as I was watching in the night visions a fourth beast appeared – one dreadful, terrible, and very strong. It had two large rows of iron teeth. It devoured and crushed, and anything that was left it trampled with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that came before it, and it had ten horns.
8. “As I was contemplating the horns, another horn – a small one – came up between them, and three of the former horns were torn out by the roots to make room for it. This horn had eyes resembling human eyes and a mouth speaking arrogant things.
9. “While I was watching,thrones were set up,and the Ancient of Days took his seat.His attire was white like snow;the hair of his head was like lamb’s wool.His throne was ablaze with fireand its wheels were all aflame.
10. A river of fire was streaming forthand proceeding from his presence.Many thousands were ministering to him;Many tens of thousands stood ready to serve him.The court convenedand the books were opened.
11. “Then I kept on watching because of the arrogant words of the horn that was speaking. I was watching until the beast was killed and its body destroyed and thrown into the flaming fire.
12. As for the rest of the beasts, their ruling authority had already been removed, though they were permitted to go on living for a time and a season.
