1 During the third year of King Belshazzar’s rule, I, Daniel, saw another vision, which was like the first one.
2 In this vision I saw myself in the capital city of Susa, in the area of Elam. I was standing by the Ulai Canal
3 when I looked up and saw a male sheep standing beside the canal. It had two long horns, but one horn was longer and newer than the other.
4 I watched the sheep charge to the west, the north, and the south. No animal could stand before him, and none could save another animal from his power. He did whatever he wanted and became very powerful.
5 While I was watching this, I saw a male goat come from the west. This goat had one large horn between his eyes that was easy to see. He crossed over the whole earth so fast that his feet hardly touched the ground.
6 In his anger the goat charged the sheep with the two horns that I had seen standing by the canal.
