The Ancient of Days Reigns

11 "I looked then because of the sound of a the great words that the horn was speaking. And as I looked, m the beast was killed, and its body destroyed m and given over to be burned with fire. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, n their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.

The Son of Man Is Given Dominion

13 "I saw in the night visions,
and o behold, with the clouds of heaven
there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the c Ancient of Days
and was presented before him.
14 p And to him was given dominion
and glory and a kingdom,
that all q peoples, nations, and languages
should serve him;
r his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one
that shall not be destroyed.
