  • Dan 7:7-9 : 7 After{H870} this{H1836} I saw{H1934}{(H8754)}{H2370}{(H8751)} in the night{H3916} visions{H2376}, and behold{H718} a fourth{H7244} beast{H2423}, dreadful{H1763}{(H8753)} and terrible{H574}, and strong{H8624} exceedingly{H3493}; and it had great{H7260} iron{H6523} teeth{H8128}: it devoured{H399}{(H8750)} and brake in pieces{H1855}{(H8683)}, and stamped{H7512}{(H8751)} the residue{H7606} with the feet{H7271} of it: and it{H1932} was diverse{H8133}{(H8743)} from{H4481} all{H3606} the beasts{H2423} that were before{H6925} it; and it had ten{H6236} horns{H7162}. 8 I considered{H1934}{(H8754)}{H7920}{(H8723)} the horns{H7162}, and, behold{H431}, there came up{H5559}{(H8754)} among{H997} them another{H317} little{H2192} horn{H7162}, before{H6925}{H4481} whom there were three{H8532} of{H4481} the first{H6933} horns{H7162} plucked up by the roots{H6132}{(H8725)}: and, behold{H431}, in this{H1668} horn{H7162} were eyes{H5870} like the eyes{H5870} of man{H606}, and a mouth{H6433} speaking{H4449}{(H8743)} great things{H7260}. 9 I beheld{H1934}{(H8754)}{H2370}{(H8751)} till{H5705} the thrones{H3764} were cast down{H7412}{(H8752)}, and the Ancient{H6268} of days{H3118} did sit{H3488}{(H8754)}, whose garment{H3831} was white{H2358} as snow{H8517}, and the hair{H8177} of his head{H7217} like the pure{H5343} wool{H6015}: his throne{H3764} was like the fiery{H5135} flame{H7631}, and his wheels{H1535} as burning{H1815}{(H8751)} fire{H5135}. 10 A fiery{H5135} stream{H5103} issued{H5047}{(H8743)} and came forth{H5312}{(H8750)} from{H4481} before{H6925} him: thousand{H506} thousands{H506} ministered{H8120}{(H8741)} unto him, and ten thousand{H7240} times ten thousand{H7240} stood{H6966}{(H8748)} before{H6925} him: the judgment{H1780} was set{H3488}{(H8754)}, and the books{H5609} were opened{H6606}{(H8760)}. 11 I beheld{H1934}{(H8754)}{H2370}{(H8751)} then{H116} because{H4481} of the voice{H7032} of the great{H7260} words{H4406} which the horn{H7162} spake{H4449}{(H8743)}: I beheld{H1934}{(H8754)}{H2370}{(H8751)} even till{H5705} the beast{H2423} was slain{H6992}{(H8752)}, and his body{H1655} destroyed{H7}{(H8717)}, and given{H3052}{(H8753)} to the burning{H3346} flame{H785}. 12 As concerning the rest{H7606} of the beasts{H2423}, they had their dominion{H7985} taken away{H5709}{(H8684)}: yet their lives{H2417} were prolonged{H3052}{(H8753)} for{H5705} a season{H2166} and time{H5732}. 13 I saw{H1934}{(H8754)}{H2370}{(H8751)} in the night{H3916} visions{H2376}, and, behold{H718}, one like the Son{H1247} of man{H606} came{H858}{(H8750)} with{H5974} the clouds{H6050} of heaven{H8065}, and came{H4291}{(H8754)} to{H5705} the Ancient{H6268} of days{H3118}, and they brought him near{H7127}{(H8684)} before{H6925} him. 14 And there was given{H3052}{(H8753)} him dominion{H7985}, and glory{H3367}, and a kingdom{H4437}, that all{H3606} people{H5972}, nations{H524}, and languages{H3961}, should serve{H6399}{(H8748)} him: his dominion{H7985} is an everlasting{H5957} dominion{H7985}, which shall not{H3809} pass away{H5709}{(H8748)}, and his kingdom{H4437} that which shall not{H3809} be destroyed{H2255}{(H8721)}. 15 I{H576} Daniel{H1841} was grieved{H3735}{(H8730)} in my spirit{H7308} in the midst{H1459} of my body{H5085}, and the visions{H2376} of my head{H7217} troubled{H927}{(H8792)} me. 16 I came near{H7127}{(H8754)} unto{H5922} one{H2298} of{H4481} them that stood by{H6966}{(H8750)}, and asked{H1156}{(H8748)} him{H4481} the truth{H3330} of all{H3606} this{H1836}. So he told{H560}{(H8754)} me, and made me know{H3046}{(H8681)} the interpretation{H6591} of the things{H4406}. 17 These{H459} great{H7260} beasts{H2423}, which{H581} are four{H703}, are four{H703} kings{H4430}, which shall arise{H6966}{(H8748)} out of{H4481} the earth{H772}. 18 But the saints{H6922} of the most High{H5946} shall take{H6902}{(H8741)} the kingdom{H4437}, and possess{H2631}{(H8681)} the kingdom{H4437} for{H5705} ever{H5957}, even for{H5705} ever{H5957} and ever{H5957}. 19 Then{H116} I would{H6634}{(H8754)} know the truth{H3321}{(H8742)} of{H5922} the fourth{H7244} beast{H2423}, which was{H1934}{(H8754)} diverse{H8133}{(H8750)} from{H4481} all{H3606} the others, exceeding{H3493} dreadful{H1763}{(H8753)}, whose teeth{H8128} were of iron{H6523}, and his nails{H2953} of brass{H5174}; which devoured{H399}{(H8750)}, brake in pieces{H1855}{(H8683)}, and stamped{H7512}{(H8751)} the residue{H7606} with his feet{H7271}; 20 And of{H5922} the ten{H6236} horns{H7162} that were in his head{H7217}, and of the other{H317} which came up{H5559}{(H8754)}, and before{H4481}{H6925} whom three{H8532} fell{H5308}{(H8754)}; even of that horn{H7162} that{H1797} had eyes{H5870}, and a mouth{H6433} that spake{H4449}{(H8743)} very great things{H7260}, whose look{H2376} was more{H4481} stout{H7229} than{H4481} his fellows{H2273}. 21 I beheld{H1934}{(H8754)}{H2370}{(H8751)}, and the same{H1797} horn{H7162} made{H5648}{(H8751)} war{H7129} with{H5974} the saints{H6922}, and prevailed{H3202}{(H8750)} against them; 22 Until{H5705} the Ancient{H6268} of days{H3118} came{H858}{(H8754)}{H1768}, and judgment{H1780} was given{H3052}{(H8753)} to the saints{H6922} of the most High{H5946}; and the time{H2166} came{H4291}{(H8754)} that the saints{H6922} possessed{H2631}{(H8684)} the kingdom{H4437}. 23 Thus{H3652} he said{H560}{(H8754)}, The fourth{H7244} beast{H2423} shall be{H1934}{(H8748)} the fourth{H7244} kingdom{H4437} upon earth{H772}, which shall be diverse{H8133}{(H8748)} from{H4481} all{H3606} kingdoms{H4437}, and shall devour{H399}{(H8748)} the whole{H3606} earth{H772}, and shall tread it down{H1759}{(H8748)}, and break it in pieces{H1855}{(H8681)}. 24 And the ten{H6236} horns{H7162} out of{H4481} this kingdom{H4437} are ten{H6236} kings{H4430} that shall arise{H6966}{(H8748)}: and another{H321} shall rise{H6966}{(H8748)} after{H311} them; and he shall be diverse{H8133}{(H8748)} from{H4481} the first{H6933}, and he shall subdue{H8214}{(H8681)} three{H8532} kings{H4430}. 25 And he shall speak{H4449}{(H8741)} great words{H4406} against{H6655} the most High{H5943}, and shall wear out{H1080}{(H8741)} the saints{H6922} of the most High{H5946}, and think{H5452}{(H8748)} to change{H8133}{(H8682)} times{H2166} and laws{H1882}: and they shall be given{H3052}{(H8725)} into his hand{H3028} until{H5705} a time{H5732} and times{H5732} and the dividing{H6387} of time{H5732}. 26 But the judgment{H1780} shall sit{H3488}{(H8754)}, and they shall take away{H5709}{(H8681)} his dominion{H7985}, to consume{H8046}{(H8682)} and to destroy{H7}{(H8682)} it unto{H5705} the end{H5491}. 27 And the kingdom{H4437} and dominion{H7985}, and the greatness{H7238} of the kingdom{H4437} under{H8460} the whole{H3606} heaven{H8065}, shall be given{H3052}{(H8753)} to the people{H5972} of the saints{H6922} of the most High{H5946}, whose kingdom{H4437} is an everlasting{H5957} kingdom{H4437}, and all{H3606} dominions{H7985} shall serve{H6399}{(H8748)} and obey{H8086}{(H8721)} him. 28 Hitherto{H5705}{H3542} is the end{H5491} of the matter{H4406}. As for me{H576} Daniel{H1841}, my cogitations{H7476} much{H7690} troubled{H927}{(H8792)} me, and my countenance{H2122} changed{H8133}{(H8721)} in me{H5922}: but I kept{H5202}{(H8754)} the matter{H4406} in my heart{H3821}.

  • Esth 6:12 : 12 And Mordecai{H4782} came again{H7725}{(H8799)} to the king's{H4428} gate{H8179}. But Haman{H2001} hasted{H1765}{(H8738)} to his house{H1004} mourning{H57}, and having his head{H7218} covered{H2645}{(H8802)}.

Then said{H559}{(H8799)} the king{H4428}, Will he force{H3533}{(H8800)} the queen{H4436} also before me in the house{H1004}? As the word{H1697} went out{H3318}{(H8804)} of the king's{H4428} mouth{H6310}, they covered{H2645}{(H8804)} Haman's{H2001} face{H6440}.
