    3I looked up and saw a ram with two horns standing at the canal. Its two horns were both long, but one was longer than the other. The longer one was coming up after the shorter one.

    4I saw that the ram was butting westward, northward, and southward. No animal was able to stand before it, and there was none who could deliver from its power. It did as it pleased and acted arrogantly.

    5While I was contemplating all this, a male goat was coming from the west over the surface of all the land without touching the ground. This goat had a conspicuous horn between its eyes.

    6It came to the two-horned ram that I had seen standing beside the canal and rushed against it with raging strength.

    16Then I heard a human voice coming from between the banks of the Ulai. It called out,“Gabriel, enable this person to understand the vision.”
