Daniel 8:8-10
Living Bible
8 The victor became both proud and powerful, but suddenly, at the height of his power, his horn was broken, and in its place grew four good-sized horns[a] pointing in four directions. 9 One of these, growing slowly at first, soon became very strong and attacked the south and east, and warred against the land of Israel.[b] 10 He fought against the people of God and defeated some of their leaders.[c]
