Then I looked up again and saw four chariots coming from between two bronze mountains.

我又举目观看，见有四辆车从两山中间出来；那山是铜山。

我又举目观看，看哪，有四辆马车从两座山的中间出来；那两座山是铜山。

我又举目观看，看哪，有四辆马车从两座山的中间出来；那两座山是铜山。

我又举目观看，见有四辆马车从两座铜山之间出来。

我又举目观看，看见有四辆战车从两座山中间出来，那两座山是铜山。

我又舉目觀看，見有四輛車從兩山中間出來；那山是銅山。

我又舉目觀看，看哪，有四輛馬車從兩座山的中間出來；那兩座山是銅山。

我又舉目觀看，看哪，有四輛馬車從兩座山的中間出來；那兩座山是銅山。

我又舉目觀看，見有四輛車從兩山之間出來；那兩座山是銅山。

我又舉目觀看，看哪，有四輛戰車從兩座山之間出來！那兩座山是銅山。

我復舉目、見有四車、出自二山之間、其山乃銅山也、

我又仰觀、有二岡巒、俱以銅鑄、其間四車齊出、

我又舉目而觀、見車四乘、自二山間而出、山乃銅山、

I looked up again, and there before me were four chariots coming out from between two mountains— mountains of bronze.

I looked up again and saw four chariots. They were coming out from between two mountains. The mountains were made out of bronze.

Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains. And the mountains were mountains of bronze.

Then I looked up again and saw four chariots coming from between two mountains. The mountains were made of bronze.

Now I raised my eyes again and looked, and behold, four chariots were going out from between the two mountains; and the mountains were bronze mountains.

Then I turned and raised my eyes and looked, and behold, four chariots were coming from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of bronze.

And again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.

Then I looked up again and saw four chariots coming from between two mountains. And the mountains were made of bronze.

And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains[ were] mountains of brass.

Once more I looked, and this time I saw four chariots emerging from between two mountains of bronze.

Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.

The four prominent horns that replaced the one large horn show that the Greek Empire will break into four kingdoms, but none as great as the first.

The angel replied,“ These are the four spirits of heaven who stand before the Lord of all the earth. They are going out to do his work.

Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.

But everything they did was determined beforehand according to your will.

But leave the stump and the roots in the ground, bound with a band of iron and bronze and surrounded by tender grass. Now let him be drenched with the dew of heaven, and let him live with the wild animals among the plants of the field.

Then I looked up and saw four animal horns.“ What are these?” I asked the angel who was talking with me. He replied,“ These horns represent the nations that scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”

I have a plan for the whole earth, a hand of judgment upon all the nations.The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has spoken— who can change his plans? When his hand is raised, who can stop him?”

Only I can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish.I will call a swift bird of prey from the east— a leader from a distant land to come and do my bidding. I have said what I would do, and I will do it.

But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken.

All the people of the earth are nothing compared to him. He does as he pleases among the angels of heaven and among the people of the earth. No one can stop him or say to him,‘ What do you mean by doing these things?’

He has made you the ruler over all the inhabited world and has put even the wild animals and birds under your control. You are the head of gold.“ But after your kingdom comes to an end, another kingdom, inferior to yours, will rise to take your place. After that kingdom has fallen, yet a third kingdom, represented by bronze, will rise to rule the world.Following that kingdom, there will be a fourth one, as strong as iron. That kingdom will smash and crush all previous empires, just as iron smashes and crushes everything it strikes.

He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump. He sets them among princes, placing them in seats of honor. For all the earth is the Lord’s, and he has set the world in order.

Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike, O Lord.

No human wisdom or understanding or plan can stand against the Lord.

“ From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of my hand. No one can undo what I have done.”

Then four huge beasts came up out of the water, each different from the others.The first beast was like a lion with eagles’ wings. As I watched, its wings were pulled off, and it was left standing with its two hind feet on the ground, like a human being. And it was given a human mind.Then I saw a second beast, and it looked like a bear. It was rearing up on one side, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And I heard a voice saying to it,“ Get up! Devour the flesh of many people!”Then the third of these strange beasts appeared, and it looked like a leopard. It had four bird’s wings on its back, and it had four heads. Great authority was given to this beast.Then in my vision that night, I saw a fourth beast— terrifying, dreadful, and very strong. It devoured and crushed its victims with huge iron teeth and trampled their remains beneath its feet. It was different from any of the other beasts, and it had ten horns.

But if he chooses to remain quiet, who can criticize him? When he hides his face, no one can find him, whether an individual or a nation.

I looked up again and saw a scroll flying through the air.

This was his eternal plan, which he carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord.
