20. The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21. The rough male goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22. As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
23. In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24. His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper in what he does; and he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
25. Through his policy he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and he shall destroy many in their security. He shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
26. The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true: but seal up the vision; for it belongs to many days to come.
27. I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king’s business: and I wondered at the vision, but no one understood it.
