    1In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, I, Daniel, after the one that had already appeared to me at the beginning.

    2In the vision I saw myself in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam. In the vision, I was beside the Ulai canal.

    3I looked up, and there before me was a ram with two high horns standing beside the canal. One horn was higher than the other, and the higher one grew later.

    4I saw the ram charging to the west, north, and south. No animal could stand against it, and no one could rescue from its power. It did as it pleased and became great.

    5As I was pondering this, suddenly a male goat came from the west, crossing the entire earth without touching the ground, and it had a notable horn between its eyes.

    6It came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and charged at it in great rage.

    7I saw it attack the ram furiously, striking it and breaking its two horns. The ram was powerless to stand against it; the goat knocked it to the ground and trampled on it, and no one could rescue the ram from its power.

    8The male goat became very great, but at the height of its power, its large horn was broken off, and in its place, four prominent horns grew toward the four winds of heaven.

    9Out of one of them came a little horn, which grew exceedingly great toward the south, the east, and the Beautiful Land.
