Daniel 8:17-23
New American Standard Bible
18Now while he was talking with me, I was dazed with my face to the ground; but he touched me and made me stand at my place.
19And he said, 'Behold, I am going to inform you of what will occur at the final period of the indignation, because it pertains to the appointed time of the end.
King James Version
Chapter 8
17So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision. 18Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright. 19And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be. 20The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. 21And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. 22Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power. 23And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
17So he approached where I was standing; when he came near, I was terrified and fell facedown. "Son of man," he said to me, "understand that the vision refers to the time of the end." 18While he was speaking to me, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground. Then he touched me, made me stand up, 19and said, "I am here to tell you what will happen at the conclusion of the time of wrath, because it refers to the appointed time of the end. 20The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia. 21The shaggy goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes represents the first king. 22The four horns that took the place of the broken horn represent four kingdoms. They will rise from that nation, but without its power.New Living Translation
19Then he said, 'I am here to tell you what will happen later in the time of wrath. What you have seen pertains to the very end of time.
20The two-horned ram represents the kings of Media and Persia.
21The shaggy male goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes represents the first king of the Greek Empire.
22The 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.

19He said, “Behold, I will make known to you what shall be at the latter end of the indignation, for it refers to the appointed time of the end.
20As for the ram that you saw with the two horns, these are the kings of Media and Persia.
21And the goat is the king of Greece. And the great horn between his eyes is the first king.
22As for the horn that was broken, in place of which four others arose, four kingdoms shall arise from his nation, but not with his power.
23And at the latter end of their kingdom, when the transgressors have reached their limit, a king of bold face, one who understands riddles, shall arise.
