21And the rough goat is the king of Grecia, and the great horne that is betweene his eyes, is the first king. 22Now that being broken, whereas foure stood vp for it, foure kingdomes shall stand vp out of the nation, but not in his power. 23And in the latter time of their kingdome, when the transgressours are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and vnderstanding darke sentences, shall stand vp. 24And his power shall be mighty, but not by his owne power: and hee shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mightie, and the holy people. 25And through his policie also hee shall cause craft to prosper in his hand, and hee shall magnifie himselfe in his heart, and by peace shal destroy many: he shall also stand vp against the prince of princes, but he shalbe broken without hand.
