Daniel 7:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 ¶ As I beheld in visions by night, behold, [a]one like the son of man came in the clouds of heaven, and [b]approached unto the Ancient of days, and they brought him before him.
14 And he gave him [c]dominion, and honor, and a kingdom, that all people, nations and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall never be taken away: and his dominion shall never be destroyed.
15 ¶ I Daniel was [d]troubled in my spirit, in the midst of my body, and the visions of mine head made me afraid.
