Daniel 8:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Then I looked up and saw, and behold, there stood before the river a [a]ram which had two horns, and these two horns were high: but one was [b]higher than another, and the highest came up last.
4 I saw the ram pushing against the West, and against the North, and against the South: so that no [c]beasts might stand before him, nor could deliver out of his hand, but he did what he listed, and became great.
5 And as I considered, behold, [d]a goat came from the West over the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and this goat had an [e]horn that appeared between his eyes.
