1
 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me,
even unto
me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
2
 And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I
was
at Shushan
in
the palace, which
is
in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.
3
 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had
two
horns: and the
two
horns
were
high; but one
was
higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
4
 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither
was there any
that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
5
 And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat
had
a notable horn between his eyes.
6
 And he came to the ram that had
two
horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
7
 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8
 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
9
 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant
land.
10
 And it waxed great,
even
to the host of heaven; and it cast down
some
of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
11
 Yea, he magnified
himself
even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily
sacrifice
was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
12
 And an host was given
him
against the daily
sacrifice
by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
13
 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain
saint
which spake, How long
shall be
the vision
concerning
the daily
sacrifice,
and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
14
 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
15
 And it came to pass, when I,
even
I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
16
 And I heard a man's voice between
the banks of
Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this
man
to understand the vision.
17
 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end
shall be
the vision.
18
 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.
19
 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end
shall be.
20
 The ram which thou sawest having
two
horns
are
the kings of Media and Persia.
21
 And the rough goat
is
the king of Grecia: and the great horn that
is
between his eyes
is
the first king.
22
 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
23
 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24
 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25
 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify
himself
in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
26
 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told
is
true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it
shall be
for many days.
27
 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick
certain
days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood
it.
1
 My little children, these things write I [John] unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2
 and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for
the sins of
the whole world.
3
 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4
 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5
 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6
 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
7
 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
8
 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
9
 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10
 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
11
 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12
 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13
 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him
that is
from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
14
 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him
that is
from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
15
 Love not the world, neither the things
that are
in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16
 For all that
is
in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17
 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
A Song of degrees.
1
 In my distress I cried unto the L
ORD
, and he heard me.
2
 Deliver my soul, O L
ORD
, from lying lips,
and
from a deceitful tongue.
3
 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4
 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5
 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech,
that
I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6
 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7
 I
am for
peace: but when I speak, they
are
for war.
25
 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the L
ORD
shall be made fat.
26
 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
1
 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;
2
 in the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the L
ORD
came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
3
 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
4
 and I prayed unto the L
ORD
my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
5
 we have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
6
 neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7
 O Lord, righteousness
belongeth
unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel,
that are
near, and
that are
far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
8
 O Lord, to us
belongeth
confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
9
 To the Lord our God
belong
mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
10
 neither have we obeyed the voice of the L
ORD
our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
11
 Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that
is
written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
12
 And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
13
 As
it is
written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the L
ORD
our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
14
 Therefore hath the L
ORD
watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the L
ORD
our God
is
righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
15
 And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
16
 O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people
are become
a reproach to all
that are
about us.
17
 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.
18
 O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.
19
 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
20
 And whiles I
was
speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the L
ORD
my God for the holy mountain of my God;
21
 yea, whiles I
was
speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
22
 And he informed
me,
and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
23
 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew
thee;
for thou
art
greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
24
 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25
 Know therefore and understand,
that
from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince
shall be
seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26
 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof
shall be
with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27
 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make
it
desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
10:
1
 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing
was
true, but the time appointed
was
long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
2
 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
3
 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4
 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which
is
Hiddekel;
5
 then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins
were
girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
6
 his body also
was
like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
7
 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
8
 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
9
 Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
10
 And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and
upon
the palms of my hands.
11
 And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
12
 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
13
 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
14
 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision
is
for
many
days.
15
 And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
16
 And, behold,
one
like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.
17
 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
18
 Then there came again and touched me
one
like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
19
 and said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace
be
unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong.
And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
20
 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.
21
 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and
there is
none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
11:
1
 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede,
even
I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.
