"And out of¹ oneª of¹ them came forthª° a¹ littleª¹ horn,ª which waxed exceeding² great,ª°¹ toward¹ the south,ª and toward¹ the east,ª and toward¹ the pleasantª [land]. ... And an hostª was givenª° [him] against¹ the dailyª [sacrifice] by reason of transgression,ª and it cast downª° the truthª to the ground;ª and it practised,ª° and prospered.ª°" {Dan 8:9-12} + "I consideredªª°° the horns,ª and, behold,ª there came upª° amongª them anotherª littleª horn,ª beforeªª whom there were threeª ofª the firstª hornsª plucked up by the roots:ª° and, behold,ª in thisª hornª [were] eyesª like the eyesª of man,ª and a mouthª speakingª° great things.ª" {Dan 7:8} + "I beheldªª°° thenª because² of¹ the voiceª of the greatª wordsª which¹ the hornª spake:ª° I beheldªª°° [even] tillª¹ the beastª was slain,ª° and his bodyª destroyed,ª° and givenª° to the burningª flame.ª" {Dan 7:11} + "And ofª the tenª hornsª that¹ [were] in his head,ª and [of] the otherª which¹ came up,ª° and beforeªª whom threeª fell;ª° even [of] that¹ hornª that² had eyes,ª and a mouthª that spakeª° very great things,ª whose lookª [was] more²° stoutª thanª his fellows.ª" {Dan 7:20} + "And he shall speakª° [great] wordsª againstª the most High,ª and shall wear outª° the saintsª of the most High,ª and thinkª° to changeª° timesª and laws:ª and they shall be givenª° into his handª untilª a timeª and timesª and the dividingª of time.ª" {Dan 7:25} + "A nationª of fierceª countenance,ª which¹ shall not¹ regardª° the personª of the old,ª nor¹ shew favourª° to the young:ª" {Deu 28:50}
