stood before him: the judgment sat, and the books were opened.
7:11. I beheld, because of the voice of the great words which that horn
spoke: and I saw that the beast was slain, and the body thereof was
destroyed, and given to the fire to be burnt:
7:12. And that the power of the other beasts was taken away: and that
times of life were appointed them for a time, and a time.
7:13. I beheld, therefore, in the vision of the night, and lo, one like
the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and he came even to the
