And I again lifted up my eyes and looked, and, behold, a flying scroll.

Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and, behold, four horns.

And I said to the angel who talked with me, What are these? And he answered me, These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.

And wherever the sons of men, the animals of the field, and the birds of the sky dwell, He has given them into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all. You are this head of gold.

And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron. Inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters all things, and like iron that crushes all these, it will break in pieces and crush.

And four great beasts came up from the sea, different from one another.

And, behold, another beast, a second, like a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. And they said this to it, Rise up, devour much flesh.

And after this I was looking in the night visions. And, behold, the fourth beast was frightening and terrifying, and very strong! And it had great iron teeth. It devoured, and broke in pieces, and stamped what was left with its feet. And it was different from all the beasts before it; and it had ten horns.

And as for that which was broken, and four stood up in its place, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in its power.

He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap, to set them among princes and make them inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's, and He set the world upon them.

When He gives quietness, who then can condemn? And when He hides His face, who then can see Him? It might be against a nation or mankind altogether,

The counsel of Jehovah stands forever, the thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.

Your righteousness is like the great mountains; Your judgments are a great deep; O Jehovah, You deliver man and beast.

There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against Jehovah.

This is the purpose that is purposed upon all the earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

For Jehovah of Hosts has purposed, and who shall annul it? And His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

Yea, before the day was, I am He; and no one can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?

declaring the end from the beginning, and from antiquity things which are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure;

calling a bird of prey from the east, the man who executes my counsel from a distant land. Indeed, I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have formed it; I will also do it.

Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the grass of the field. And let it be wet with the dew of the heavens, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth.

And all those living in the earth are counted as nothing. And He does according to His will in the army of Heaven, and among those living in the earth. And no one is able to restrain His hand or say to Him, What are You doing?

to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done.

In Him also we have been assigned to an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,

according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,
