Other Translations - Daniel 7:1-7:
During the first year that Belshazzar was king of
Babylon, Daniel had a dream. Daniel saw these
visions 2 WHILE HE WAS LYING ON HIS BED.
DANIEL WROTE WHAT HE HAD DREAMED ABOUT. DANIEL SAID:
"I SAW MY VISION AT NIGHT. IN THE VISION, THE WIND
WAS BLOWING FROM ALL FOUR DIRECTIONS. THOSE WINDS
MADE THE SEA ROUGH. 3 I SAW FOUR BIG
ANIMALS AND EACH ONE WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS.
THOSE FOUR ANIMALS CAME UP OUT OF THE SEA. 4
"The first animal looked like a lion, and it had
wings like an eagle. I watched this animal. Then its
wings were torn off. It was lifted from the ground
so that it stood up on two feet like a man. And it
was given the heart [(mind)] of a man. 5 "And then I
saw a second animal there in front of me. This
animal looked like a bear. It was raised up on one
of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth
between its teeth. It was told, 'Get up and eat all
the meat you want!' 6 "After that, I looked, and
there in front of me was another animal. This animal
looked like a leopard. And the leopard had four
wings on its back. The wings looked like a bird's
wings. This animal had four heads. It was given
authority to rule. 7 "After that, in my
vision AT NIGHT I LOOKED, AND THERE IN FRONT OF ME
WAS A FOURTH ANIMAL. THIS ANIMAL LOOKED VERY MEAN
AND TERRIBLE. IT LOOKED VERY STRONG. IT HAD LARGE
IRON TEETH. THIS ANIMAL CRUSHED AND ATE UP ITS
VICTIMS. AND THIS ANIMAL WALKED ON WHATEVER WAS LEFT
OF ITS VICTIMS. THIS FOURTH ANIMAL WAS DIFFERENT
FROM ALL THE ANIMALS I SAW BEFORE IT. THIS ANIMAL
HAD TEN HORNS. (ERV)
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon
Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his
bed: then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the
matters. 2 Daniel spake and said, I saw
in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds
of heaven brake forth upon the great sea. 3
And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse
one from another. 4 The first was like a
lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings
thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the
earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man; and
a man's heart was given to it. 5 And,
behold, another beast, a second, like to a bear; and
it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in
its mouth between its teeth: and they said thus unto
it, Arise, devour much flesh. 6 After
this I beheld, and, lo, another, like a leopard,
which had upon its back four wings of a bird; the
beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to
it. 7 After this I saw in the
night-visions, and, behold, a fourth beast, terrible
and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had
great iron teeth; it devoured and brake in pieces,
and stamped the residue with its feet: and it was
diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and
it had ten horns. (ASV)
