Daniel 8:1

¹In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.

⁷I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me didn’t see the vision, but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.

¹⁵“As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved within my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.

⁴When he stands up, his kingdom will be broken and will be divided toward the four winds of the sky, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom will be plucked up, even for others besides these.

¹⁵When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. Then behold, there stood before me someone with the appearance of a man.

²in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years about which the LORD’s ^[+] word came to Jeremiah the prophet for the accomplishing of the desolations of Jerusalem, even seventy years.

²In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks.

²⁸“Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.”
