And as I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

And I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with rage against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

And it grew great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.

And a host was given him to oppose the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it did this, and prospered.

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

Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.

And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
