Daniel 8:5

← Daniel 8:4	Daniel 8:5 (KJV)	Daniel 8:6 →
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither [was there any] that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.	And as I was considering, behold, an he 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 he came to the ram that had [two] horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
