20 The ram which thou sawest possessing horns, the kings of Media and Persia. 21 And the hairy he goat, the king of Grecia: and the great horn which is between his eyes, he the first king. 22 And that being broken, and four will stand up underneath it, four kingdoms from the nation shall stand up, and not in his power. 23 And in the latter state of their kingdom as those transgressing being completed, a king strong of face and understanding enigmas, shall stand up. 24 And strong his power, and not in his power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and he prospered, and did, and he destroyed the strong ones and the holy people. 25 And by his intelligence and he caused deceit to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify in his heart, and in security he shall destroy many: and against the Chief of chiefs he shall stand; and without hand shall he be broken. 26 And the sight of the evening and the morning which was said, it is truth: and shut thou up the vision; for, for many days. 27 And I Daniel was, and was sick days; and I shall rise and do the works of the king; and I shall be astonished at the sight, and none understanding.
