- "After that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard. And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. This beast had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.
- "After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast--terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns.
- "While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth that spoke boastfully.
- "As I looked, "thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze.
- A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him. Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.

- 내가 그 뿔을 유심히 살펴보고 있자니, 다른 작은 뿔 하나가 그 뿔들 사이에서 돋아났다. 먼저 나온 뿔 가운데서 셋이 새로 돋아난 그 뿔에 밀려서 뿌리째 뽑혔다. 새로 돋아난 뿔은 사람의 눈과 같은 눈을 가지고 있었고, 입이 있어서 거만하게 떠들었다.
- 내가 바라보니, 옥좌들이 놓이고, 한 옥좌에 옛적부터 계신 분이 앉으셨는데, 옷은 눈과 같이 희고, 머리카락은 양 털과 같이 깨끗하였다. 옥좌에서는 불꽃이 일고, 옥좌의 바퀴에서는 불길이 치솟았으며,
- 불길이 강물처럼 그에게서 흘러 나왔다. 수종 드는 사람이 수천이요, 모시고 서 있는 사람이 수만이었다. 심판이 시작되는데, 책들이 펴져 있었다.
