The Son of Man

13 “I kept looking in the night visions,
And behold, with the clouds of heaven
One like a (A)Son of Man was coming,
And He came up to the Ancient of Days
And came near before Him.
14 And to Him was given [a](B)dominion,
Glory, and (C)a kingdom,
(D)That all the peoples, nations, and men of every tongue
Might serve Him.
(E)His [b]dominion is an everlasting [c]dominion
Which will not be taken away;
(F)And His kingdom is one
Which will not be destroyed.
