The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

8:15¶ And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.

8:16And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.

8:17So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.

8:18Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.

8:19And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.

8:20The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.

8:21And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

8:22Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.

Selected passage

8:23And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

8:24And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

8:25And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

8:26And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.

8:27And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king’s business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.
