1 Daniels vision of foure beastes. 9 Of Gods kingdome. 15 The interpretation thereof.
1
1 In the first yeere of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel +had a dreame, and visions of his head vpon his bed: then he wrote the dreame, and tolde the summe of the || matters. [ + || ]
2
2 Daniel spake, and said, I saw in my vision by night, & behold, the foure windes of the heauen stroue vpon the great Sea.
3
3 And foure great beastes came vp from the sea, diuers one from another.
4
4 The first was like a Lyon, and had Eagles wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were pluckt, ||and it was lifted vp from the earth, and made stand vpon the feete as a man, and a mans heart was giuen to it. [ || ]
5
5 And behold, another beast, a second, like to a Beare, and || it raised vp it selfe on one side, and it had three ribbes in the mouth of it betweene the teeth of it, and they said thus vnto it, Arise, deuoure much flesh. [|| ]
6
6 After this I beheld, and loe, another like a Leopard, which had vpon the backe of it foure wings of a foule, the beast had also foure heads, and dominion was giuen to it.
7
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadfull and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great yron teeth: it deuoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feete of it, and it was diuers from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten hornes.
8
8 I considered the hornes, and behold, there came vp among them another little horne, before whom there were three of the first hornes pluckt vp by the roots: and behold, in this horne were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
9
9 ¶ I beheld till the thrones were cast downe, and the Ancient of dayes did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the haire of his head like the pure wooll: his throne was like the fierie flame, and his wheeles as burning fire.
10
10 A fierie streame issued, and came foorth from before him: *thousand thousands ministred vnto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the iudgement was set, and the bookes were opened. [ * ]
11
11I beheld then, because of the voice of the great words which the horne spake: I beheld euen till the beast was slaine, and his body destroyed, and giuen to the burning flame.
