²² till the Eld of days came, and high God gave doom to holy men; and lo! time came, and holy men got realm. (until the Old, or the Ancient, of Days came, and the Most High God gave judgement in favour of the holy people; and lo! the time came, and the holy people got the kingdom.)

²³ And he said thus, The fourth beast shall be the fourth realm in (the) earth, that shall be more than all realms, and it shall devour all (the) earth, and it shall defoul, and make less that earth. (And he said this, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom on the earth, that shall be more than all the other kingdoms, and it shall devour all the earth, and it shall defile, or trample upon, and break in pieces all the earth.)

²⁴ Forsooth (the) ten horns shall be ten kings of that realm; and another king shall rise (up) after them, and he shall be mightier than the former, and he shall make low three kings.
