Then I looked up and saw four horns.

我举目观看，见有四角。

我举目观看，看哪，有四只角。

我举目观看，看哪，有四只角。

我又举目观看，见有四个角。

我又举目观看，看见有四个角。

我舉目觀看，見有四角。

我舉目觀看，看哪，有四隻角。

我舉目觀看，看哪，有四隻角。

我又舉目觀看，見有四個角。

我又舉目觀看，看見有四個角。

我舉目觀看，忽見有四個角。

我舉目觀看，看哪，有四隻犄角！

我舉目而觀、見有四角、

撒加利亞曰、我仰觀四角、詢於天使、曰、此何意與、

我舉目而望、見有四角、

Then I looked up, and there before me were four horns.

Then I looked up and saw four animal horns.

And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, four horns!

Then I looked up and saw four animal horns.

Then I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, there were four horns.

Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were four horns.

And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, four horns.

Then I looked up and saw four horns.

Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.

( 2: 1) Once again I looked and this time I saw four horns.

I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four horns.

When Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua approached him and asked,“ Are you for us or for our enemies?”

The king of the North will return to his land with great wealth, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant; he will take action, then return to his own land.“ At the appointed time he will come again to the South, but this time will not be like the first.Ships of Kittim will come against him, and being intimidated, he will withdraw. Then he will rage against the holy covenant and take action. On his return, he will favor those who abandon the holy covenant.His forces will rise up and desecrate the temple fortress. They will abolish the regular sacrifice and set up the abomination of desolation.With flattery he will corrupt those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will be strong and take action.Those who have insight among the people will give understanding to many, yet they will fall by the sword and flame, and they will be captured and plundered for a time.When they fall, they will be helped by some, but many others will join them insincerely.Some of those who have insight will fall so that they may be refined, purified, and cleansed until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.

Then I looked up and saw two women approaching with the wind in their wings. Their wings were like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and sky.

Your Majesty, you are king of kings. The God of the heavens has given you sovereignty, power, strength, and glory.Wherever people live— or wild animals, or birds of the sky— he has handed them over to you and made you ruler over them all. You are the head of gold.“ After you, there will arise another kingdom, inferior to yours, and then another, a third kingdom, of bronze, which will rule the whole earth.A fourth kingdom will be as strong as iron; for iron crushes and shatters everything, and like iron that smashes, it will crush and smash all the others.You saw the feet and toes, partly of a potter’s fired clay and partly of iron— it will be a divided kingdom, though some of the strength of iron will be in it. You saw the iron mixed with clay,and that the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly fired clay— part of the kingdom will be strong, and part will be brittle.You saw the iron mixed with clay— the peoples will mix with one another but will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with fired clay.

I looked up, and there was a ram standing beside the canal. He had two horns. The two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, and the longer one came up last.I saw the ram charging to the west, the north, and the south. No animal could stand against him, and there was no rescue from his power. He did whatever he wanted and became great.As I was observing, a male goat appeared, coming from the west across the surface of the entire earth without touching the ground. The goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.He came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and rushed at him with savage fury.I saw him approaching the ram, and infuriated with him, he struck the ram, breaking his two horns, and the ram was not strong enough to stand against him. The goat threw him to the ground and trampled him, and there was no one to rescue the ram from his power.Then the male goat acted even more arrogantly, but when he became powerful, the large horn was broken. Four conspicuous horns came up in its place, pointing toward the four winds of heaven.From one of them a little horn emerged and grew extensively toward the south and the east and toward the beautiful land.It grew as high as the heavenly army, made some of the army and some of the stars fall to the earth, and trampled them.It acted arrogantly even against the Prince of the heavenly army; it revoked his regular sacrifice and overthrew the place of his sanctuary.In the rebellion, the army was given up, together with the regular sacrifice. The horn threw truth to the ground and was successful in what it did.Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to the speaker,“ How long will the events of this vision last— the regular sacrifice, the rebellion that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and of the army to be trampled?”He said to me,“ For 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be restored.”

I looked up and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.

During Jehoiakim’s reign, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon attacked. Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years, and then he turned and rebelled against him.The LORD sent Chaldean, Aramean, Moabite, and Ammonite raiders against Jehoiakim. He sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD he had spoken through his servants the prophets.Indeed, this happened to Judah at the LORD’s command to remove them from his presence. It was because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all he had done,and also because of all the innocent blood he had shed. He had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD was not willing to forgive.The rest of the events of Jehoiakim’s reign, along with all his accomplishments, are written in the Historical Record of Judah’s Kings.Jehoiakim rested with his ancestors, and his son Jehoiachin became king in his place.Now the king of Egypt did not march out of his land again, for the king of Babylon took everything that had belonged to the king of Egypt, from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River.Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan; she was from Jerusalem.He did what was evil in the LORD’s sight just as his father had done.At that time the servants of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon marched up to Jerusalem, and the city came under siege.King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it.King Jehoiachin of Judah, along with his mother, his servants, his commanders, and his officials, surrendered to the king of Babylon. So the king of Babylon took him captive in the eighth year of his reign.He also carried off from there all the treasures of the LORD’s temple and the treasures of the king’s palace, and he cut into pieces all the gold articles that King Solomon of Israel had made for the LORD’s sanctuary, just as the LORD had predicted.He deported all Jerusalem and all the commanders and all the best soldiers— ten thousand captives including all the craftsmen and metalsmiths. Except for the poorest people of the land, no one remained.Nebuchadnezzar deported Jehoiachin to Babylon. He took the king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officials, and the leading men of the land into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.The king of Babylon brought captive into Babylon all seven thousand of the best soldiers and one thousand craftsmen and metalsmiths— all strong and fit for war.And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place and changed his name to Zedekiah.Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.Zedekiah did what was evil in the LORD’s sight just as Jehoiakim had done.Because of the LORD’s anger, it came to the point in Jerusalem and Judah that he finally banished them from his presence. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

Four huge beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other.“ The first was like a lion but had eagle’s wings. I continued watching until its wings were torn off. It was lifted up from the ground, set on its feet like a man, and given a human mind.“ Suddenly, another beast appeared, a second one, that looked like a bear. It was raised up on one side, with three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told,‘ Get up! Gorge yourself on flesh.’“ After this, while I was watching, suddenly another beast appeared. It was like a leopard with four wings of a bird on its back. It had four heads, and it was given dominion.“ After this, while I was watching in the night visions, suddenly a fourth beast appeared, frightening and dreadful, and incredibly strong, with large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed, and it trampled with its feet whatever was left. It was different from all the beasts before it, and it had ten horns.“ While I was considering the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. And suddenly in this horn there were eyes like the eyes of a human and a mouth that was speaking arrogantly.

I looked up again and saw a flying scroll.

Then the angel who was speaking with me came forward and told me,“ Look up and see what this is that is approaching.”

In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Israel’s King Hoshea son of Elah, Assyria’s King Shalmaneser marched against Samaria and besieged it.The Assyrians captured it at the end of three years. In the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Israel’s King Hoshea, Samaria was captured.The king of Assyria deported the Israelites to Assyria and put them in Halah, along the Habor( Gozan’s river), and in the cities of the Medes,because they did not listen to the LORD their God but violated his covenant— all he had commanded Moses the servant of the LORD. They did not listen, and they did not obey.

In the days of King Pekah of Israel, King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria came and captured Ijon, Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee— all the land of Naphtali— and deported the people to Assyria.

In the twelfth year of Judah’s King Ahaz, Hoshea son of Elah became king over Israel in Samaria, and he reigned nine years.He did what was evil in the LORD’s sight, but not like the kings of Israel who preceded him.King Shalmaneser of Assyria attacked him, and Hoshea became his vassal and paid him tribute.But the king of Assyria caught Hoshea in a conspiracy: He had sent envoys to So king of Egypt and had not paid tribute to the king of Assyria as in previous years. Therefore the king of Assyria arrested him and put him in prison.The king of Assyria invaded the whole land, marched up to Samaria, and besieged it for three years.In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria. He deported the Israelites to Assyria and settled them in Halah, along the Habor( Gozan’s river), and in the cities of the Medes.
