Daniel 7:11-13

Contemporary English Version

¹¹I watched closely to see what would happen to this smaller horn because of the arrogant things it was saying. Then before my very eyes, the fourth beast was killed and its body destroyed by fire. ¹²The other three beasts had their authority taken from them, but they were allowed to live a while longer.^[a] ¹³^(A) As I continued to watch the vision that night,

I saw what looked like
a son of man^[b]
coming with the clouds of heaven,
and he was presented
to the Eternal God.^[c]
