Douay Bible - Daniel Chapter 8

Daniel 8:1
In the third year of the reign of king Baltasar, a vision appeared to me. I Daniel, after what I had seen in the beginning,

Daniel 8:2
Saw in my vision when I was in the castle of Susa, which is in the province of Elam: and I saw in the vision that I was over the gate of Ulai.

Daniel 8:3
And I lifted up my eyes, and saw: and behold a ram stood before the water, having two high horns, and one higher than the other, and growing up. afterward

Daniel 8:4
I saw the ram pushing with his horns against the west, and against the north, and against the south: and no beasts could withstand him, nor be delivered out of his hand: and he did according to his own will, and became great.

Daniel 8:5
And I understood: and behold a he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and he touched not the ground, and the he goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

Daniel 8:6
And he went up to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing before the gate, and he ran towards him in the force of his strength.

Daniel 8:7
And when he was come near the ram, he was enraged against him, and struck the ram: and broke his two horns, and the ram could not withstand him: and when he had cast him down on the ground, he stamped upon him, and none could deliver the ram out of his hand.

Daniel 8:8
And the he goat became exceeding great: and when he was grown, the great horn was broken, and there came up four horns under it towards the four winds of heaven.

Daniel 8:9
And out of one of them came forth a little horn: and it became great against the south, and against the east, and against the strength.

Daniel 8:10
And it was magnified even unto the strength of heaven: and it threw down of the strength, and of the stars, and trod upon them.

Daniel 8:11
And it was magnified even to the prince of the strength: and it took away from him the continual sacrifice, and cast down the place of his sanctuary.

Daniel 8:12
And strength was given him against the continual sacrifice, because of sins: and truth shall be cast down on the ground, and he shall do and shall prosper.

Daniel 8:13
And I heard one of the saints speaking, and one saint said to another, I know not to whom that was speaking: How long shall be the vision, concerning the continual sacrifice, and the sin of the desolation that is made: and the sanctuary, and the strength be trodden under foot?

Daniel 8:14
And he said to him: Unto evening and morning two thousand three hundred days: and the sanctuary shall be cleansed.

Daniel 8:15
And it came to pass when I Daniel saw the vision, and sought the meaning, that behold there stood before me as it were the appearance of a man.

Daniel 8:16
And I heard the voice of a man between Ulai: and he called, and said: Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.

Daniel 8:17
And he came and stood near where I stood: and when he was come, I fell on my face trembling, and he said to me: Understand, O son of man, for in the time of the end the vision shall be fulfilled.

Daniel 8:18
And when he spoke to me I fell flat on the ground: and he touched me, and set me upright,

Daniel 8:19
And he said to me: I will shew thee what things are to come to pass in the end of the malediction: for the time hath its end.

Daniel 8:20
The ram, which thou sawest with horns, is the king of the Medes and Persians.

Daniel 8:21
And the he goat, is the king of the Greeks, and the great horn that was between his eyes, the same is the first king.

Daniel 8:22
But whereas when that was broken, there arose up four for it: four kings shall rise up of his nation, but not with his strength.

Daniel 8:23
And after their reign, when iniquities shall be grown up, there shall arise a king of a shameless face, and understanding dark sentences.

Daniel 8:24
And his power shall be strengthened, but not by his own force: and he shall lay all things waste, and shall prosper, and do more than can be believed. And he shall destroy the mighty, and the people of the saints,

Daniel 8:25
According to his will, and craft shall be successful in his hand: and his heart shall be puffed up, and in the abundance of all things he shall kill many: and he shall rise up against the prince of princes, and shall be broken without hand.

Daniel 8:26
And the vision of the evening and the morning, which was told, is true: thou therefore seal up the vision, because it shall come to pass after many days.

Daniel 8:27
And I Daniel languished, and was sick for some days: and when I was risen up, I did the king’s business, and I was astonished at the vision, and there was none that could interpret it.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
