And as I was watching, behold, a he-goat came from the west, over the face of the all earth, and did not touch the ground. And the he goat had an outstanding horn between his eyes.

And I saw him come close beside the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram and shattered his two horns. And there was no power in the ram to stand before him. But he threw him down to the ground and stamped on him. And none could deliver the ram out of his hand.

And it became great, even to the host of heaven. And it made fall some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and trampled them.

And an army was given to him against the daily sacrifice because of transgression, and it cast the truth to the ground. And it worked and succeeded.

And as he was speaking with me, I was stunned, on my face toward the ground. But he touched me and set me upright.

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

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