Daniel 7:12-17
New American Standard Bible
15As for me, Daniel, my spirit was distressed within me, and the visions in my mind kept alarming me.
16I approached one of those who were standing by and began requesting of him the exact meaning of all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things:
17‘These great beasts, which are four in number, are four kings who will arise from the earth.
King James Version
Chapter 7
12As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. 13I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
15I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
16I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
17These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.

15"As for me, Daniel, my spirit was deeply distressed within me, and the visions in my mind terrified me.

17These huge beasts, four in number, are four kings who will rise from the earth.
