8 I was considering the ten horns it had, when suddenly another, a little horn, sprang out of their midst, and three of the previous horns were torn away to make room for it. This horn had eyes like human eyes, and a mouth that spoke arrogantly.
9 As I watched,Thrones were set upand the Ancient of Days took his throne.His clothing was white as snow,the hair on his head like pure wool;His throne was flames of fire,with wheels of burning fire.
10 A river of fire surged forth,flowing from where he sat;Thousands upon thousands were ministering to him,and myriads upon myriads stood before him.The court was convened, and the books were opened.
11 I watched, then, from the first of the arrogant words which the horn spoke, until the beast was slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the burning fire.
12 As for the other beasts, their dominion was taken away, but they were granted a prolongation of life for a time and a season.
13 As the visions during the night continued, I saw coming with the clouds of heavenOne like a son of man.When he reached the Ancient of Daysand was presented before him,
14 He received dominion, splendor, and kingship;all nations, peoples and tongues will serve him.His dominion is an everlasting dominionthat shall not pass away,his kingship, one that shall not be destroyed.
