little horn--not to be confounded with the little horn of the fourth kingdom in Dan 7:8. The little horn in Dan 7:8 comes as an eleventh horn after ten preceding horns. In Dan 8:9 it is not an independent fifth horn, after the four previous ones, but it arises out of one of the four existing horns. This horn is explained (Dan 8:23) to be "a king of fierce countenance," &c. Antiochus Epiphanes is meant. Greece with all its refinement produces the first, that is, the Old Testament Antichrist. Antiochus had an extraordinarly love of art, which expressed itself in grand temples. He wished to substitute Zeus Olympius for Jehovah at Jerusalem. Thus first heathen civilization from below, and revealed religion from above, came into collision. Identifying himself with Jupiter, his aim was to make his own worship universal (compare Dan 8:25 with Dan 11:36); so mad was he in this that he was called Epimanes (maniac) instead of Epiphanes. None of the previous world rulers, Nebuchadnezzar (Dan 4:31-34), Darius (Dan 6:27-28), Cyrus (Ezr 1:2-4), Artaxerxes Longimanus (Ezr 7:12), had systematically opposed the Jews' religious worship. Hence the need of prophecy to prepare them for Antiochus. The struggle of the Maccabees was a fruit of Daniel's prophecy (1 Maccabees 2:59). He is the forerunner of the final Antichrist, standing in the same relation to the first advent of Christ that Antichrist does to His second coming. The sins in Israel which gave rise to the Greek Antichrist were that some Jews adopted Hellenic customs (compare Dan 11:30, Dan 11:32), erecting theaters, and regarding all religions alike, sacrificing to Jehovah, but at the same time sending money for sacrifices to Hercules. Such shall be the state of the world when ripe for Antichrist. At Dan 8:9 and Dan 8:23 the description passes from the literal Antiochus to features which, though partially attributed to him, hold good in their fullest sense only of his antitype, the New Testament Antichrist. The Mohammedan Antichrist may also be included; answering to the Euphratean (Turk) horsemen (Rev 9:14-21), loosed "an hour, a day, a month, a year" (391 years, in the year-day theory), to scourge corrupted, idolatrous Christianity. In A.D. 637 the Saracen Moslem mosque of Omar was founded on the site of the temple, "treading under foot the sanctuary" (Dan 8:11-13); and there it still remains.The first conquest of the Turks over Christians was in A.D. 1281; and 391 years after they reached their zenith of power and began to decline, Sobieski defeating them at Vienna. Mohammed II, called "the conqueror," reigned A.D. 1451-1481, in which period Constantinople fell 391 years after brings us to our own day, in which Turkey's fall is imminent.
waxed . . . great, toward . . . south-- (Dan 11:25). Antiochus fought against PTOLEMY Philometer and Egypt, that is, the south.
toward the east--He fought against those who attempted a change of government in Persia.
toward the pleasant land--Judea, "the glorious land" (Dan 11:16, Dan 11:41, Dan 11:45; compare Psa 48:2; Eze 20:6, Eze 20:15). Its chief pleasantness consists in its being God's chosen land (Psa 132:13; Jer 3:19). Into it Antiochus made his inroad after his return from Egypt. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And out of one of them, came forth a little horn - Emblematic of new power that should spring up. Compare the notes at Dan 7:8. This little horn sprang, up out of one of the others; it did not spring up in the midst of the others as the little horn, in Dan 7:8, did among the ten others. This seemed to grow out of one of the four, and the meaning cannot be misunderstood. From one of the four powers or kingdoms into which the empire of Alexander would be divided, there would spring up this ambitions and persecuting power.
Which waxed exceeding great - Which became exceedingly powerful. It was comparatively small at first, but ultimately became mighty. There can be no doubt that Antiochus Epiphanes is denoted here. All the circumstances of the prediction find a fulfillment in him; and if it were supposed that this was written after he had lived, and that it was the design of the writer to describe him by this symbol, he could not have found a symbol that would have been more striking or appropriate than this. The Syriac version has inserted here, in the Syriae text, the words "Antiochus Epiphanes," and almost without exception expositors have been agreed in the opinion that he is referred to. For a general account of him, see the notes at Dan 7:24, following The author of the book of Maccabees, after noticing, in the passage above quoted, the death of Alexander, and the distractions that followed his death, says, "And there came out of them a wicked root, Antiochus, surnamed Epiphanes, son of Antiochus the king, who had been a hostage at Rome, and he reigned in the hundred and thirty and seventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks," 1 Macc. 1:10. A few expositors have supposed that this passage refers to Antichrist - what will not expositors of the Bible suppose? But the great body of interpreters have understood it to refer to Antiochus. This prince was a successor of Seleucus Nicator, who, in the division of the empire of Alexander, obtained Syria, Babylonia, Media, etc. (see above the note at Dan 8:8), and whose capital was Antioch. The succession of princes who reigned in Antioch, from Seleucus to Antiochus Epiphanes, were as follows:
(1) Seleucus Nicator, 312-280 b.c.
(2) Antiochus Soter, his son, 280-261.
(3) Antiochus Theos, his son, 261-247.
(4) Seleucus Callinicus, his son, 247-226.
(5) (Alexander), or Seleucus Ceraunus, his son, 226-223.
(6) Antiochus the Great, his brother, 223-187.
(7) Seleucus Philopater, his son, 187-176.
(8) Antiochus Epiphanes, his brother, 176-164.
- Clinton's Fasti Hellenici, vol. iii. Appendix, ch. iii.
The succession of the Syrian kings reigning in Antioch was continued until Syria was reduced to the form of a Roman province by Pompey, 63 b.c. Seleucus Philopater, the immediate predecessor of Antiochus, having been assassinated by one of his courtiers, his brother Antiochus hastened to occupy the vacant throne, although the natural heir, Demetrius, son of Seleucus, was yet alive, but a hostage at Rome. Antiochus assumed the name of Epiphanes, or Illustrious. In Dan 11:21, it is intimated that he gained the kingdom by flatteries; and there can be no doubt that bribery, and the promise of reward to others, was made use of to secure his power. See Kitto's Cyclo., i. 168-170. Of the acts of this prince there will be occasion for a fuller detail in the notes on the remainder of this chapter, and Dan. 11.
Toward the south - Toward the country of Egypt, etc. In the year 171 b.c., he declared war against Ptolemy Philometer, and in the year 170 he conquered Egypt, and plundered Jerusalem. 1 Macc. 1:16-19: "Now when the kingdom was established before Antiochus, he thought to reign over Egypt, that he might have the dominion of two realms. Wherefore he entered Egypt with a great multitude, with chariots, and elephants, and horsemen, and a great navy. And made war against Ptolemee king of Egypt: but Ptolemee was afraid of him, and fled; and many were wounded to death. Thus they got the strong cities in the land of Egypt, and he took the spoils thereof."
And toward the east - Toward Persia and the countries of the East. He went there - these countries being nominally subject to him - according to the author of the book of Maccabees (1 Macc. 3:21-37), in order to replenish his exhausted treasury, that he might carry on his wars with the Jews, and that he might keep up the splendor and liberality of his court: "He saw that the money of his treasures failed, and that the tributes in the country were small, because of the dissension and plague which he had brought upon the land, and he feared that he should not be able to bear the charges any longer, nor to have such gifts to give so liberally as he did before; wherefore, being greatly perplexed in his mind, he determined to go into Persia, there to take the tributes of the countries, and to gather much money. So the king departed from Antioch, his royal city, the hundred forty and seventh year; and having passed the river Euphrates, he went through the high countries."
And toward the pleasant land - The word used here (צבי tsebı̂y) means, properly, splendor, beauty, Isa 4:2; Isa 24:16; Isa 28:1, Isa 28:4-5. It is applied, in Isa 13:19, to Babylon - "the glory of kingdoms." Here it evidently denotes the land of the Israelites, or Palestine - so often described as a land of beauty, as flowing with milk and honey, etc. This is such language as a pious Hebrew would naturally use of his own country, and especially if he was an exile from it, as Daniel was. Nothing more would be necessary to designate the land so as to be understood than such an appellation - as nothing more would be necessary to designate his country to an exile from China than to speak of "the flowery land." Antiochus, on his return from Egypt, turned aside and invaded Judea, and ultimately robbed the temple, destroyed Jerusalem, and spread desolation through the land. See 1 Macc. 1. |

little horn
The "little horn" here is a prophecy fulfilled in Antiochus Epiphanes, B.C. 175, who profaned the temple and terribly persecuted the Jews. He is not to be confounded with the "little horn" of Daniel 7, who is yet to come, and who will dominate the earth during the great tribulation.
(See Scofield) - (Dan 7:8)
concerning "The Beast".
(See Scofield) - (Rev 19:20)
and "The great tribulation," (Psa 2:5).
(See Scofield) - (Rev 7:14).
But Antiochus is a remarkable type of the Beast, the terrible "little horn" of the last days. Verses 24-25 (Dan 8:24-25) go beyond Antiochus and evidently refer to the "little horn" of Daniel 7. Both Antiochus and the Beast, but the Beast pre-eminently, are in view in verses 24-25 (Dan 8:24-25). That the "little horn" of Daniel 7 cannot be the little horn of (Dan 8:9-13); (Dan 8:23) is evident. The former comes up among the ten horns into which the fourth empire (Roman) is to be divided; the little horn of Daniel 8 comes out of one of the four kingdoms into which the third (Grecian) empire was divided (Dan 8:23), and in "the latter time" of the four kingdoms (Dan 8:22); (Dan 8:23). This was historically true of Antiochus Epiphanes. They are alike in hatred of the Jews and of God, and in profaning the temple.
Compare (Dan 7:25) (the Beast) with (Dan 8:10-12) (Antiochus):
one of them
Anticohus Epiphanes came out of Syria, one of the "four notable" kingdoms into which Alexander's empire was divided. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
The interpretation of the vision.
Dan 8:9
Without following the development of the four horns further, the prophecy passes over to the little horn, which grew up out of one of the four horns, and gained great significance in relation to the history of the people of God. The masculine forms מהם and יצא (out of them came) are to be explained as a constructio ad sensum. אחת (one) after קרן (horn) is as little superfluous as is the מן in מצּעירה. אחת is a numeral, one horn, not several; מן is either comparative, less than little, i.e., very little (Ewald), or, as less than insignificance, wretchedness, i.e., in an altogether miserable way (Hv.). The one explanation is more forced than the other, and the idea of wretchedness is altogether untenable. Yet the מן serves as a circumlocution for the superlative = perpaucus (Gesen., Win., Aub.), while verbal analogies for it are wanting. מן signifies from, out of; but it is not to be united with קרן: one horn of smallness (v. Leng.), in which case מן would be superfluous, but with the verb יצא: it came up out of littleness, a parvo, i.e., a parvis initiis (Maur., Hofm., Kran., Klief.). Thus it corresponds with סלקת זעירה, Dan 7:8. In the words "it arose out of littleness" there lies the idea that it grew to great power from a small beginning; for it became very great, i.e., powerful, toward the south, toward the east, and toward the הצּבי (the splendour, glory), i.e., toward the glorious land. הצּבי = הצּבי ארץ, Dan 11:16, Dan 11:41. This designation of the land of Israel is framed after Jer 3:19 and Eze 20:6, Eze 20:15, where this land is called "a heritage of the greatest glory of nations" (a goodly heritage of the host of nations, E. V.), "a glory of all lands," i.e., the most glorious land which a people can possess. The expression is synonymous with חמדּה ארץ ("pleasant land"), Jer 3:19; Zac 7:14; Psa 106:24. Canaan was so designate don account of its great fruitfulness as a land flowing with milk and honey; cf. Eze 20:6.
The one of the four horns from which the little horn grew up is the Syrian monarchy, and the horn growing up out of it is the king Antiochus Epiphanes, as Josephus (Ant. x. 11. 7) and all interpreters acknowledge, on the ground of 1 Macc. 1:10. The south, against which he became great, is Egypt (cf. Dan 11:5 and 1 Macc. 1:16ff.). The east is not Asia (Kranichfeld), but Babylon, and particularly Elymas and Armenia, 1 Macc. 1:31, 37; 3:31, 37; 6:1-4, according to which he subdued Elymas and overcame Artaxias, king of Armenia (App. Syr. c. 45, 46; Polyb. xxxi. 11). Besides the south and the east, Canaan, the holy land, as lying between, is named as the third land, as in Isa 19:23. it is named as third, between Egypt and Assyria; but הצּבי ואל ("and toward the glorious land") is not, with Kranichfeld, to be regarded as an exegetical addition to המּזרח ואל ("and toward the east"). Palestine lay neither to the east of Daniel, nor geographically to the east of the kingdom denoted by the little horn, because the text gives no support to the identifying of this kingdom with the Javanic, the horn operating from the west.
Dan 8:10
As this horn became great in extent toward the south and toward the east, so also it grew up in height even unto the host of heaven, and some of them it cast down, i.e., some of the stars, to the earth. The host of heaven is here, as in Jer 33:22, the whole body of the stars of heaven, the constellations, and of the stars is epexegetical of of the host. Daniel in the vision sees the horn grow so great in height, that it reaches even to the heavens, can reach the heavenly bodies with the hand, and throws some of the stars (מן is partitive) down to the earth and tramples upon them, destroys them with scorn. The words of the angel, Jer 33:24, show that by the stars we are to understand the people of the saints, the people of God. The stars cast down to the earth are, according to this, neither the Levites (Grotius), nor the viri illustres in Israel (Glass.), nor the chief rulers of the Jews in church and state (Dathe). If the people of the saints generally are compared to the host of heaven, the stars, then the separate stars cannot be the ecclesiastical or civil chiefs, but the members of this nation in common. But by "the people of the saints" is to be understood (since the little horn denotes Antiochus Epiphanes) the people of God in the Old Covenant, the people of Israel. They are named the people of the saints by virtue of their being called to be an holy nation (Exo 19:6), because "they had the revelation of God and God Himself dwelling among them, altogether irrespective of the subjective degrees of sanctification in individuals" (Kliefoth). But the comparing of them with the host of the stars does not arise from Jewish national pride, nor does it mean that Daniel thought only of the truly faithful in Israel (Theod., Hv.), or that the pseudo-Daniel thought that with the death of Antiochus the Messiah would appear, and that then Israel, after the extermination of the godless, would become a people of pure holiness. The comparison rather has its roots in this, that God, the King of Israel, is called the God of hosts, and by the צבאות (hosts) are generally to be understood the stars or the angels; but the tribes of Israel also, who were led by God out of Egypt, are called "the hosts of Jehovah" (Exo 7:4; Exo 12:41). As in heaven the angels and stars, so on earth the sons of Israel form the host of God; and as the angels on account of the glory of their nature are called קדושׁים (holy ones), so the Israelites by virtue of their being chosen to be the holy nation of God, forming the kingdom of heaven in this world. As God, the King of this people, has His throne in heaven, so there also Israel have their true home, and are in the eyes of God regarded as like unto the stars. This comparison serves, then, to characterize the insolence of Antiochus as a wickedness against Heaven and the heavenly order of things. Cf. 2 Macc. 9:10.
(Note: The deep practical explanation of Calvin deserves attention: - "Although the church often lies prostrate in the world and is trodden under foot, yet is it always precious before God. Hence the prophet adorns the church with this remarkable praise, not to obtain for it great dignity in the sight of men, but because God has separated it from the world and provided for it a sure inheritance in heaven. Although the sons of God are pilgrims on the earth, and have scarcely any place in it, because they are as castaways, yet they are nevertheless citizens of heaven. Hence we derive this useful lesson, that we should bear it patiently when we are thrown prostrate on the ground, and are despised by tyrants and contemners of God. In the meantime our seat is laid up in heaven, and God numbers us among the stars, although, as Paul says, we are as dung and as the offscourings of all things." - Calv. in loc.)
Dan 8:11
This horn raised its might even to the Prince of the host. הצבא שׂר, the Prince of the host of heaven, is obviously not the high priest Onias (Grotius), but the God of heaven and the King of Israel, the Prince of princes, as He is called in Dan 8:25. עד הגדּיל (he magnified himself to) is repeated in Dan 8:25 by על יעמוד (he shall stand up against). Wherein this rising up against God consisted, the second half of the verse indicates in the statement that the תּמיד (daily sacrifice) was taken away, and the building of His sanctuary was destroyed. This verse does not record a part of the vision, but is a further development of that which was seen in prophetic words. Hence we may not, with Ebrard, refer its contents to heavenly events, to a putting away of the sacrifice from before the throne of God and a destruction of the heavenly sanctuary. On the contrary, Kliefoth has well remarked that it is "without example in Scripture that men penetrate into heaven to insult God; what men do against God is done on the earth." התּמיד is everything in the worship of God which is not used merely temporarily, but is permanent, as the daily sacrifice, the setting forth of the shew-bread, and the like. The limitation of it to the daily morning and evening service in the writings of the Rabbis is unknown in the O.T. The word much rather comprehends all that is of permanent use in the holy services of divine worship (Hgst., Hv., Hofm., Kran., Klief.). Thus interpreted, the prophetic announcement corresponds with history; for, according to 1 Macc. 1:45, Antiochus gave orders that they should "forbid burnt-offerings, and sacrifice, and drink-offerings in the temple; and that they should profane the Sabbath and festival days."
The horn also overthrew the place of the sanctuary of Jehovah. השׁליך, to cast away, to cast forth, - used of buildings, to lay waste; cf. Jer 9:18. מכון, properly, that which is set up, erected; here, as frequently, of the dwelling-place of God, the temple: so also שׁבתּך מכון (a settled place for thee to dwell in), Exo 15:17; Kg1 8:13. It is used also of the heavenly dwelling-place of God, Kg1 8:39, Kg1 8:43; here, of the temple of Jerusalem. With regard to the historical fulfilment, cf. The expressions, "her (Jerusalem's) sanctuary was laid waste like a wilderness," and "pollute the sanctuary," 1 Macc. 1:39, 46; and "the sanctuary was trodden down," 1 Macc. 3:45.
Dan 8:12
The actions of the little horn are definitively comprehended in this verse, as may be seen from this, that in the first hemistich צבא and תּמיד are mentioned together. But this hemistich has been very variously interpreted. We must altogether reject the interpretation of the Vulgate, "Robur autem datum est contra juge sacrificium propter peccata," which is reproduced in Luther's translation, "There was given to him such strength against the daily sacrifice on account of sin;" or Calvin's, "Et tempus datum est super jugi sacrificio in scelere," whereby, after Raschi's example, צבא is interpreted of the statio militaris, and thence the interpretation tempus or intervallum is derived. For צבא means neither robur, nor tempus, nor statio militaris, but only military service, and perhaps military forces. Add to this that צבא both in Dan 8:10, Dan 8:13 means host. If we maintain this, with the majority of interpreters, only two explanations are admissible, according as we understand צבא of the host of heaven, i.e., of Israel, or of some other host. The latter interpretation is apparently supported partly by the absence of the article in צבא, and partly by the construction of the word as fem. (תּנּתן). Accordingly, Hitzig says that a Hebrew reader could not understand the words otherwise than as meaning, "and a warlike expedition was made or conducted against the daily sacrifice with wickedness" (i.e., the impure service of idols); while others translate, "and a host placed against he daily sacrifice on account of sin" (Syr., Grot., Harenb., J. D. Michaelis); or, "a host is given against the daily sacrifice in wickedness" (Wieseler); or, "given against that which was continual with the service of idols," i.e., so that, in the place of the "continual," wickedness, the worship of idols, is appointed (Hofmann); or, "the power of an army is given to it (the horn) against the daily sacrifice through wickedness," i.e., by the evil higher demons (Ebrard). But the latter interpretation is to be rejected on account of the arbitrary insertion of לו (to it); and against all the others it is to be remarked, that there is no proof either from Dan 8:13, or from Eze 32:23 or Eze 26:8, that נתן means to lead out, to bring forward, to give contrary to or against. |

| A little horn - This little horn was Antiochus Epiphanes. The south - Egypt where he besieged and took many places. The east - In Syria, Babylon, Armenia. The pleasant land - Judea, so called because of the temple and people of God in it, and the fruitfulness of it. |

Out of one of them came forth a little horn - Some think that Antiochus Epiphanes is meant; but Bp. Newton contends that it is the Roman government that is intended; and although very great at its zenith, yet very little in its rising.
Waxed - great toward the south - The Romans made Egypt a province of their empire, and it continued such for some centuries.
Toward the east - They conquered Syria, and made it a province.
Toward the pleasant land - Judea, so called Psa 106:24; Jer 3:19; Dan 11:16, Dan 11:41. It is well known that they took Judea, and made it a province; and afterwards burnt the city and the temple, and scattered the Jews over the face of the earth. |

14 Saying [3004] to the sixth [1623] angel [32] which [3739] had [2192] the trumpet [4536], Loose [3089] the four [5064] angels [32] which [3588] are bound [1210] in [1909] the great [3173] river [4215] Euphrates [2166].
15 And [2532] the four [5064] angels [32] were loosed [3089], which [3588] were prepared [2090] for [1519] an hour [5610], and [2532] a day [2250], and [2532] a month [3376], and [2532] a year [1763], for to [2443] slay [615] the third part [5154] of men [444].
16 And [2532] the number [706] of the army [4753] of the horsemen [2461] were two hundred [1417] thousand [3461] thousand [3461]: and [2532] I heard [191] the number [706] of them [846].
17 And [2532] thus [3779] I saw [1492] the horses [2462] in [1722] the vision [3706], and [2532] them that sat [2521] on [1909] them [846], having [2192] breastplates [2382] of fire [4447], and [2532] of jacinth [5191], and [2532] brimstone [2306]: and [2532] the heads [2776] of the horses [2462] were as [5613] the heads [2776] of lions [3023]; and [2532] out of [1537] their [846] mouths [4750] issued [1607] fire [4442] and [2532] smoke [2586] and [2532] brimstone [2303].
18 By [5259] these [5130] three [5140] was [615] the third part [5154] of men [444] killed [615], by [1537] the fire [4442], and [2532] by [1537] the smoke [2586], and [2532] by [1537] the brimstone [2303], which [3588] issued [1607] out of [1537] their [846] mouths [4750].
19 For [1063] their [846] power [1849] is [1526] [2076] in [1722] their [846] mouth [4750], and [2532] in [1722] their [846] tails [3769]: for [1063] their [846] tails [3769] were like [3664] unto serpents [3789], and had [2192] heads [2776], and [2532] with [1722] them [846] they do hurt [91].
20 And [2532] the rest [3062] of the men [444] which [3739] were [615] not [3756] killed [615] by [1722] these [5025] plagues [4127] yet [3777] repented [3340] not [3777] of [1537] the works [2041] of their [846] hands [5495], that [3363] they should [4352] not [3363] worship [4352] devils [1140], and [2532] idols [1497] of gold [5552], and [2532] silver [693], and [2532] brass [5470], and [2532] stone [3035], and [2532] of wood [3585]: which [3739] neither [3777] can [1410] see [991], nor [3777] hear [191], nor [3777] walk [4043]:
21 Neither [2532] [3756] repented they [3340] of [1537] their [846] murders [5408], nor [3777] of [1537] their [846] sorceries [5331], nor [3777] of [1537] their [846] fornication [4202], nor [3777] of [1537] their [846] thefts [2809].
23 And in the latter time [0319] of their kingdom [04438], when the transgressors [06586] are come to the full [08552], a king [04428] of fierce [05794] countenance [06440], and understanding [0995] dark sentences [02420], shall stand up [05975].
9 And out of one [0259] of them came forth [03318] a little [04704] horn [07161], which waxed exceeding [03499] great [01431], toward the south [05045], and toward the east [04217], and toward the pleasant [06643] land.
32 And such as do wickedly [07561] against the covenant [01285] shall he corrupt [02610] by flatteries [02514]: but the people [05971] that do know [03045] their God [0430] shall be strong [02388], and do [06213] exploits.
30 For the ships [06716] of Chittim [03794] shall come [0935] against him: therefore he shall be grieved [03512], and return [07725], and have indignation [02194] against the holy [06944] covenant [01285]: so shall he do [06213]; he shall even return [07725], and have intelligence [0995] with them that forsake [05800] the holy [06944] covenant [01285].
12 Artaxerxes [0783], king [04430] of kings [04430], unto Ezra [05831] the priest [03549], a scribe [05613] of the law [01882] of the God [0426] of heaven [08065], perfect [01585] peace, and at such a time [03706].
2 Thus saith [0559] Cyrus [03566] king [04428] of Persia [06539], The LORD [03068] God [0430] of heaven [08064] hath given [05414] me all the kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776]; and he hath charged [06485] me to build [01129] him an house [01004] at Jerusalem [03389], which is in Judah [03063].
3 Who is there among you of all his people [05971]? his God [0430] be with him, and let him go up [05927] to Jerusalem [03389], which is in Judah [03063], and build [01129] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], (he is the God [0430],) which is in Jerusalem [03389].
4 And whosoever remaineth [07604] in any place [04725] where he sojourneth [01481], let the men [0582] of his place [04725] help [05375] him with silver [03701], and with gold [02091], and with goods [07399], and with beasts [0929], beside the freewill offering [05071] for the house [01004] of God [0430] that is in Jerusalem [03389].
27 He delivereth [07804] and rescueth [05338], and he worketh [05648] signs [0852] and wonders [08540] in heaven [08065] and in earth [0772], who hath delivered [07804] Daniel [01841] from [04481] the power [03028] of the lions [0744].
28 So this [01836] Daniel [01841] prospered [06744] in the reign [04437] of Darius [01868], and in the reign [04437] of Cyrus [03567] the Persian [06543].
31 While [05751] the word [04406] was in the king's [04430] mouth [06433], there fell [05308] a voice [07032] from [04481] heaven [08065], saying, O king [04430] Nebuchadnezzar [05020], to thee it is spoken [0560]; The kingdom [04437] is departed [05709] from [04481] thee.
32 And they shall drive [02957] thee from [04481] men [0606], and thy dwelling [04070] shall be with [05974] the beasts [02423] of the field [01251]: they shall make thee to eat [02939] grass [06211] as oxen [08450], and seven [07655] times [05732] shall pass [02499] over [05922] thee, until [05705] thou know [03046] that the most High [05943] ruleth [07990] in the kingdom [04437] of men [0606], and giveth [05415] it to whomsoever [04479] he will [06634].
33 The same hour [08160] was the thing [04406] fulfilled [05487] upon [05922] Nebuchadnezzar [05020]: and he was driven [02957] from [04481] men [0606], and did eat [0399] grass [06211] as oxen [08450], and his body [01655] was wet [06647] with the dew [02920] of heaven [08065], till [05705] his hairs [08177] were grown [07236] like eagles [05403]' feathers, and his nails [02953] like birds [06853]' claws.
34 And at the end [07118] of the days [03118] I [0576] Nebuchadnezzar [05020] lifted up [05191] mine eyes [05870] unto heaven [08065], and mine understanding [04486] returned [08421] unto me [05922], and I blessed [01289] the most High [05943], and I praised [07624] and honoured [01922] him that liveth [02417] for ever [05957], whose dominion [07985] is an everlasting [05957] dominion [07985], and his kingdom [04437] is from [05974] generation [01859] to generation [01859]:
36 And the king [04428] shall do [06213] according to his will [07522]; and he shall exalt [07311] himself, and magnify [01431] himself above every god [0410], and shall speak [01696] marvellous things [06381] against the God [0410] of gods [0410], and shall prosper [06743] till the indignation [02195] be accomplished [03615]: for that that is determined [02782] shall be done [06213].
25 And through his policy [07922] also he shall cause craft [04820] to prosper [06743] in his hand [03027]; and he shall magnify [01431] himself in his heart [03824], and by peace [07962] shall destroy [07843] many [07227]: he shall also stand up [05975] against the Prince [08269] of princes [08269]; but he shall be broken [07665] without [0657] hand [03027].
23 And in the latter time [0319] of their kingdom [04438], when the transgressors [06586] are come to the full [08552], a king [04428] of fierce [05794] countenance [06440], and understanding [0995] dark sentences [02420], shall stand up [05975].
9 And out of one [0259] of them came forth [03318] a little [04704] horn [07161], which waxed exceeding [03499] great [01431], toward the south [05045], and toward the east [04217], and toward the pleasant [06643] land.
8 I considered [01934] [07920] the horns [07162], and, behold [0431], there came up [05559] among [0997] them another [0317] little [02192] horn [07162], before [06925] [04481] whom there were three [08532] of [04481] the first [06933] horns [07162] plucked up by the roots [06132]: and, behold [0431], in this [01668] horn [07162] were eyes [05870] like the eyes [05870] of man [0606], and a mouth [06433] speaking [04449] great things [07260].
8 I considered [01934] [07920] the horns [07162], and, behold [0431], there came up [05559] among [0997] them another [0317] little [02192] horn [07162], before [06925] [04481] whom there were three [08532] of [04481] the first [06933] horns [07162] plucked up by the roots [06132]: and, behold [0431], in this [01668] horn [07162] were eyes [05870] like the eyes [05870] of man [0606], and a mouth [06433] speaking [04449] great things [07260].
19 And Babylon [0894], the glory [06643] of kingdoms [04467], the beauty [08597] of the Chaldees [03778]' excellency [01347], shall be as when God [0430] overthrew [04114] Sodom [05467] and Gomorrah [06017].
4 And the glorious [06643] beauty [08597], which is on the head [07218] of the fat [08081] valley [01516], shall be a fading [05034] flower [06733], and as the hasty fruit [01061] before the summer [07019]; which when he that looketh [07200] upon it seeth [07200], while it is yet in his hand [03709] he eateth it up [01104].
5 In that day [03117] shall the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] be for a crown [05850] of glory [06643], and for a diadem [06843] of beauty [08597], unto the residue [07605] of his people [05971],
1 Woe [01945] to the crown [05850] of pride [01348], to the drunkards [07910] of Ephraim [0669], whose glorious [06643] beauty [08597] is a fading [05034] flower [06731], which are on the head [07218] of the fat [08081] valleys [01516] of them that are overcome [01986] with wine [03196]!
16 From the uttermost part [03671] of the earth [0776] have we heard [08085] songs [02158], even glory [06643] to the righteous [06662]. But I said [0559], My leanness [07334], my leanness [07334], woe [0188] unto me! the treacherous dealers [0898] have dealt treacherously [0898]; yea, the treacherous dealers [0898] have dealt very [0899] treacherously [0898].
2 In that day [03117] shall the branch [06780] of the LORD [03068] be beautiful [06643] and glorious [03519], and the fruit [06529] of the earth [0776] shall be excellent [01347] and comely for [08597] them that are escaped [06413] of Israel [03478].
21 And in his estate [03653] shall stand up [05975] a vile person [0959], to whom they shall not give [05414] the honour [01935] of the kingdom [04438]: but he shall come [0935] in peaceably [07962], and obtain [02388] the kingdom [04438] by flatteries [02519].
8 Therefore the he [06842] goat [05795] waxed very [03966] great [01431]: and when he was strong [06105], the great [01419] horn [07161] was broken [07665]; and for it came up [05927] four [0702] notable ones [02380] toward the four [0702] winds [07307] of heaven [08064].
24 And the ten [06236] horns [07162] out of [04481] this kingdom [04437] are ten [06236] kings [04430] that shall arise [06966]: and another [0321] shall rise [06966] after [0311] them; and he shall be diverse [08133] from [04481] the first [06933], and he shall subdue [08214] three [08532] kings [04430].
8 I considered [01934] [07920] the horns [07162], and, behold [0431], there came up [05559] among [0997] them another [0317] little [02192] horn [07162], before [06925] [04481] whom there were three [08532] of [04481] the first [06933] horns [07162] plucked up by the roots [06132]: and, behold [0431], in this [01668] horn [07162] were eyes [05870] like the eyes [05870] of man [0606], and a mouth [06433] speaking [04449] great things [07260].
8 I considered [01934] [07920] the horns [07162], and, behold [0431], there came up [05559] among [0997] them another [0317] little [02192] horn [07162], before [06925] [04481] whom there were three [08532] of [04481] the first [06933] horns [07162] plucked up by the roots [06132]: and, behold [0431], in this [01668] horn [07162] were eyes [05870] like the eyes [05870] of man [0606], and a mouth [06433] speaking [04449] great things [07260].
10 And it waxed great [01431], even to the host [06635] of heaven [08064]; and it cast down [05307] some of the host [06635] and of the stars [03556] to the ground [0776], and stamped [07429] upon them.
11 Yea, he magnified [01431] himself even to the prince [08269] of the host [06635], and by him the daily [08548] sacrifice was taken away [07311] [07311], and the place [04349] of his sanctuary [04720] was cast down [07993].
12 And an host [06635] was given [05414] him against the daily [08548] sacrifice by reason of transgression [06588], and it cast down [07993] the truth [0571] to the ground [0776]; and it practised [06213], and prospered [06743].
25 And he shall speak [04449] great words [04406] against [06655] the most High [05943], and shall wear out [01080] the saints [06922] of the most High [05946], and think [05452] to change [08133] times [02166] and laws [01882]: and they shall be given [03052] into his hand [03028] until [05705] a time [05732] and times [05732] and the dividing [06387] of time [05732].
23 And in the latter time [0319] of their kingdom [04438], when the transgressors [06586] are come to the full [08552], a king [04428] of fierce [05794] countenance [06440], and understanding [0995] dark sentences [02420], shall stand up [05975].
22 Now that being broken [07665], whereas four [0702] stood up [05975] for it, four [0702] kingdoms [04438] shall stand up [05975] out of the nation [01471], but not in his power [03581].
23 And in the latter time [0319] of their kingdom [04438], when the transgressors [06586] are come to the full [08552], a king [04428] of fierce [05794] countenance [06440], and understanding [0995] dark sentences [02420], shall stand up [05975].
23 And in the latter time [0319] of their kingdom [04438], when the transgressors [06586] are come to the full [08552], a king [04428] of fierce [05794] countenance [06440], and understanding [0995] dark sentences [02420], shall stand up [05975].
9 And out of one [0259] of them came forth [03318] a little [04704] horn [07161], which waxed exceeding [03499] great [01431], toward the south [05045], and toward the east [04217], and toward the pleasant [06643] land.
10 And it waxed great [01431], even to the host [06635] of heaven [08064]; and it cast down [05307] some of the host [06635] and of the stars [03556] to the ground [0776], and stamped [07429] upon them.
11 Yea, he magnified [01431] himself even to the prince [08269] of the host [06635], and by him the daily [08548] sacrifice was taken away [07311] [07311], and the place [04349] of his sanctuary [04720] was cast down [07993].
12 And an host [06635] was given [05414] him against the daily [08548] sacrifice by reason of transgression [06588], and it cast down [07993] the truth [0571] to the ground [0776]; and it practised [06213], and prospered [06743].
13 Then I heard [08085] one [0259] saint [06918] speaking [01696], and another [0259] saint [06918] said [0559] unto that certain [06422] saint which spake [01696], How long shall be the vision [02377] concerning the daily [08548] sacrifice, and the transgression [06588] of desolation [08074], to give [05414] both the sanctuary [06944] and the host [06635] to be trodden under foot [04823]?
24 And his power [03581] shall be mighty [06105], but not by his own power [03581]: and he shall destroy [07843] wonderfully [06381], and shall prosper [06743], and practise [06213], and shall destroy [07843] the mighty [06099] and the holy [06918] people [05971].
25 And through his policy [07922] also he shall cause craft [04820] to prosper [06743] in his hand [03027]; and he shall magnify [01431] himself in his heart [03824], and by peace [07962] shall destroy [07843] many [07227]: he shall also stand up [05975] against the Prince [08269] of princes [08269]; but he shall be broken [07665] without [0657] hand [03027].
24 And his power [03581] shall be mighty [06105], but not by his own power [03581]: and he shall destroy [07843] wonderfully [06381], and shall prosper [06743], and practise [06213], and shall destroy [07843] the mighty [06099] and the holy [06918] people [05971].
25 And through his policy [07922] also he shall cause craft [04820] to prosper [06743] in his hand [03027]; and he shall magnify [01431] himself in his heart [03824], and by peace [07962] shall destroy [07843] many [07227]: he shall also stand up [05975] against the Prince [08269] of princes [08269]; but he shall be broken [07665] without [0657] hand [03027].
14 And [2532] I said [2046] unto him [846], Sir [2962], thou [4771] knowest [1492]. And [2532] he said [2036] to me [3427], These [3778] are they [1526] which came [2064] out of [1537] great [3173] tribulation [2347], and [2532] have washed [4150] their [846] robes [4749], and [2532] made [3021] them [4749] [846] white [3021] in [1722] the blood [129] of the Lamb [721].
5 Then shall he speak [01696] unto them in his wrath [0639], and vex [0926] them in his sore displeasure [02740].
20 And [2532] the beast [2342] was taken [4084], and [2532] with [3326] him [5127] the false prophet [5578] that wrought [4160] miracles [4592] before [1799] him [846], with [1722] which [3739] he deceived [4105] them that had received [2983] the mark [5480] of the beast [2342], and [2532] them that worshipped [4352] his [846] image [1504]. These both [1417] were cast [906] alive [2198] into [1519] a lake [3041] of fire [4442] burning [2545] with [1722] brimstone [2303].
8 I considered [01934] [07920] the horns [07162], and, behold [0431], there came up [05559] among [0997] them another [0317] little [02192] horn [07162], before [06925] [04481] whom there were three [08532] of [04481] the first [06933] horns [07162] plucked up by the roots [06132]: and, behold [0431], in this [01668] horn [07162] were eyes [05870] like the eyes [05870] of man [0606], and a mouth [06433] speaking [04449] great things [07260].
8 He shall slay [02026] with the sword [02719] thy daughters [01323] in the field [07704]: and he shall make [05414] a fort [01785] against thee, and cast [08210] a mount [05550] against thee, and lift up [06965] the buckler [06793] against thee.
23 Whose graves [06913] are set [05414] in the sides [03411] of the pit [0953], and her company [06951] is round about [05439] her grave [06900]: all of them slain [02491], fallen [05307] by the sword [02719], which caused [05414] terror [02851] in the land [0776] of the living [02416].
13 Then I heard [08085] one [0259] saint [06918] speaking [01696], and another [0259] saint [06918] said [0559] unto that certain [06422] saint which spake [01696], How long shall be the vision [02377] concerning the daily [08548] sacrifice, and the transgression [06588] of desolation [08074], to give [05414] both the sanctuary [06944] and the host [06635] to be trodden under foot [04823]?
13 Then I heard [08085] one [0259] saint [06918] speaking [01696], and another [0259] saint [06918] said [0559] unto that certain [06422] saint which spake [01696], How long shall be the vision [02377] concerning the daily [08548] sacrifice, and the transgression [06588] of desolation [08074], to give [05414] both the sanctuary [06944] and the host [06635] to be trodden under foot [04823]?
10 And it waxed great [01431], even to the host [06635] of heaven [08064]; and it cast down [05307] some of the host [06635] and of the stars [03556] to the ground [0776], and stamped [07429] upon them.
12 And an host [06635] was given [05414] him against the daily [08548] sacrifice by reason of transgression [06588], and it cast down [07993] the truth [0571] to the ground [0776]; and it practised [06213], and prospered [06743].
43 Hear [08085] thou in heaven [08064] thy dwelling [03427] place [04349], and do [06213] according to all that the stranger [05237] calleth [07121] to thee for: that all people [05971] of the earth [0776] may know [03045] thy name [08034], to fear [03372] thee, as do thy people [05971] Israel [03478]; and that they may know [03045] that this house [01004], which I have builded [01129], is called [07121] by thy name [08034].
39 Then hear [08085] thou in heaven [08064] thy dwelling [03427] place [04349], and forgive [05545], and do [06213], and give [05414] to every man [0376] according to his ways [01870], whose heart [03824] thou knowest [03045]; (for thou, even thou only, knowest [03045] the hearts [03824] of all the children [01121] of men [0120];)
13 I have surely [01129] built [01129] thee an house [01004] to dwell in [02073], a settled place [04349] for thee to abide in [03427] for ever [05769].
17 Thou shalt bring [0935] them in, and plant [05193] them in the mountain [02022] of thine inheritance [05159], in the place [04349], O LORD [03068], which thou hast made [06466] for thee to dwell in [03427], in the Sanctuary [04720], O Lord [0136], which thy hands [03027] have established [03559].
18 And let them make haste [04116], and take up [05375] a wailing [05092] for us, that our eyes [05869] may run down [03381] with tears [01832], and our eyelids [06079] gush out [05140] with waters [04325].
25 And through his policy [07922] also he shall cause craft [04820] to prosper [06743] in his hand [03027]; and he shall magnify [01431] himself in his heart [03824], and by peace [07962] shall destroy [07843] many [07227]: he shall also stand up [05975] against the Prince [08269] of princes [08269]; but he shall be broken [07665] without [0657] hand [03027].
25 And through his policy [07922] also he shall cause craft [04820] to prosper [06743] in his hand [03027]; and he shall magnify [01431] himself in his heart [03824], and by peace [07962] shall destroy [07843] many [07227]: he shall also stand up [05975] against the Prince [08269] of princes [08269]; but he shall be broken [07665] without [0657] hand [03027].
11 Yea, he magnified [01431] himself even to the prince [08269] of the host [06635], and by him the daily [08548] sacrifice was taken away [07311] [07311], and the place [04349] of his sanctuary [04720] was cast down [07993].
41 And it came to pass at the end [07093] of the four [0702] hundred [03967] [08141] and thirty [07970] years [08141], even the selfsame [06106] day [03117] it came to pass, that all the hosts [06635] of the LORD [03068] went out [03318] from the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
4 But Pharaoh [06547] shall not hearken [08085] unto you, that I may lay [05414] my hand [03027] upon Egypt [04714], and bring forth [03318] mine armies [06635], and my people [05971] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] by great [01419] judgments [08201].
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom [04467] of priests [03548], and an holy [06918] nation [01471]. These are the words [01697] which thou shalt speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
24 Considerest [07200] thou not what this people [05971] have spoken [01696], saying [0559], The two [08147] families [04940] which the LORD [03068] hath chosen [0977], he hath even cast them off [03988]? thus they have despised [05006] my people [05971], that they should be no more a nation [01471] before [06440] them.
22 As the host [06635] of heaven [08064] cannot be numbered [05608], neither the sand [02344] of the sea [03220] measured [04058]: so will I multiply [07235] the seed [02233] of David [01732] my servant [05650], and the Levites [03881] that minister [08334] unto me.
10 And it waxed great [01431], even to the host [06635] of heaven [08064]; and it cast down [05307] some of the host [06635] and of the stars [03556] to the ground [0776], and stamped [07429] upon them.
23 In that day [03117] shall there be a highway [04546] out of Egypt [04714] to Assyria [0804], and the Assyrian [0804] shall come [0935] into Egypt [04714], and the Egyptian [04714] into Assyria [0804], and the Egyptians [04714] shall serve [05647] with the Assyrians [0804].
5 And the king [04428] of the south [05045] shall be strong [02388], and one of his princes [08269]; and he shall be strong [02388] above him, and have dominion [04910]; his dominion [04475] shall be a great [07227] dominion [04474].
6 In the day [03117] that I lifted up [05375] mine hand [03027] unto them, to bring them forth [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] into a land [0776] that I had espied [08446] for them, flowing [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706], which is the glory [06643] of all lands [0776]:
24 Yea, they despised [03988] the pleasant [02532] land [0776], they believed [0539] not his word [01697]:
14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind [05590] among all the nations [01471] whom they knew [03045] not. Thus the land [0776] was desolate [08074] after [0310] them, that no man passed through [05674] nor returned [07725]: for they laid [07760] the pleasant [02532] land [0776] desolate [08047].
19 But I said [0559], How shall I put [07896] thee among the children [01121], and give [05414] thee a pleasant [02532] land [0776], a goodly [06643] heritage [05159] of the hosts [06635] of nations [01471]? and I said [0559], Thou shalt call [07121] me, My father [01]; and shalt not turn away [07725] from me [0310].
15 Yet also I lifted up [05375] my hand [03027] unto them in the wilderness [04057], that I would not bring [0935] them into the land [0776] which I had given [05414] them, flowing [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706], which is the glory [06643] of all lands [0776];
6 In the day [03117] that I lifted up [05375] mine hand [03027] unto them, to bring them forth [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] into a land [0776] that I had espied [08446] for them, flowing [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706], which is the glory [06643] of all lands [0776]:
19 But I said [0559], How shall I put [07896] thee among the children [01121], and give [05414] thee a pleasant [02532] land [0776], a goodly [06643] heritage [05159] of the hosts [06635] of nations [01471]? and I said [0559], Thou shalt call [07121] me, My father [01]; and shalt not turn away [07725] from me [0310].
41 He shall enter [0935] also into the glorious [06643] land [0776], and many [07227] countries shall be overthrown [03782]: but these shall escape [04422] out of his hand [03027], even Edom [0123], and Moab [04124], and the chief [07225] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983].
16 But he that cometh [0935] against him shall do [06213] according to his own will [07522], and none shall stand [05975] before [06440] him: and he shall stand [05975] in the glorious [06643] land [0776], which by his hand [03027] shall be consumed [03617].
8 I considered [01934] [07920] the horns [07162], and, behold [0431], there came up [05559] among [0997] them another [0317] little [02192] horn [07162], before [06925] [04481] whom there were three [08532] of [04481] the first [06933] horns [07162] plucked up by the roots [06132]: and, behold [0431], in this [01668] horn [07162] were eyes [05870] like the eyes [05870] of man [0606], and a mouth [06433] speaking [04449] great things [07260].
9 And out of one [0259] of them came forth [03318] a little [04704] horn [07161], which waxed exceeding [03499] great [01431], toward the south [05045], and toward the east [04217], and toward the pleasant [06643] land.
41 He shall enter [0935] also into the glorious [06643] land [0776], and many [07227] countries shall be overthrown [03782]: but these shall escape [04422] out of his hand [03027], even Edom [0123], and Moab [04124], and the chief [07225] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983].
16 But he that cometh [0935] against him shall do [06213] according to his own will [07522], and none shall stand [05975] before [06440] him: and he shall stand [05975] in the glorious [06643] land [0776], which by his hand [03027] shall be consumed [03617].
19 But I said [0559], How shall I put [07896] thee among the children [01121], and give [05414] thee a pleasant [02532] land [0776], a goodly [06643] heritage [05159] of the hosts [06635] of nations [01471]? and I said [0559], Thou shalt call [07121] me, My father [01]; and shalt not turn away [07725] from me [0310].
24 Yea, they despised [03988] the pleasant [02532] land [0776], they believed [0539] not his word [01697]:
