(Daniɛl 7:1-10) In the first year of King Bel·shazʹzar of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head as he lay on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream; he recorded a complete account of the matters. 2 Daniel declared: “I was watching in my visions during the night, and look! the four winds of the heavens were stirring up the vast sea. 3 And four huge beasts came out of the sea, each different from the others. 4 “The first one was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were plucked out, and it was lifted up from the earth and was made to stand up on two feet like a man, and it was given the heart of a man. 5 “And look! another beast, a second one, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told, ‘Get up, eat much flesh.’ 6 “After this I kept watching, and look! another beast, like a leopard, but on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. And the beast had four heads, and it was given authority to rule. 7 “After this I kept watching in the visions of the night, and I saw a fourth beast, fearsome and terrifying and unusually strong, and it had large iron teeth. It was devouring and crushing, and what was left it trampled down with its feet. It was different from all the other beasts that were prior to it, and it had ten horns. 8 While I considered the horns, look! another horn, a small one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were plucked up from before it. And look! there were eyes like human eyes in this horn, and there was a mouth speaking arrogantly. 9 “I kept watching until thrones were set in place and the Ancient of Days sat down. His clothing was white like snow, and the hair of his head was like clean wool. His throne was flames of fire; its wheels were a burning fire. 10 A stream of fire was flowing and going out from before him. A thousand thousands kept ministering to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The Court took its seat, and books were opened.

(Daniɛl 11:28-39) “And he will go back to his land with a great amount of goods, and his heart will be against the holy covenant. He will act effectively and go back to his land. 29 “At the time appointed he will return and come against the south. But this time will not be as it was before, 30 for the ships of Kitʹtim will come against him, and he will be humbled. “He will go back and hurl denunciations against the holy covenant and act effectively; and he will go back and will give attention to those leaving the holy covenant. 31 And arms will stand up, proceeding from him; and they will profane the sanctuary, the fortress, and remove the constant feature. “And they will put in place the disgusting thing that causes desolation. 32 “And those who act wickedly against the covenant, he will lead into apostasy by means of smooth words. But the people who know their God will prevail and act effectively. 33 And those having insight among the people will impart understanding to the many. And they will be made to stumble by sword and by flame, by captivity and by plundering, for some days. 34 But when they are made to stumble, they will be given a little help; and many will join with them by means of smooth speech. 35 And some of those having insight will be made to stumble, in order to do a refining work because of them and to do a cleansing and a whitening until the time of the end; because it is yet for the time appointed. 36 “The king will do as he pleases, and he will exalt himself and magnify himself above every god; and against the God of gods he will speak astonishing things. And he will prove successful until the denunciation comes to a finish; because what is determined must take place. 37 He will show no regard for the God of his fathers; nor will he show regard for the desire of women or for any other god, but he will magnify himself over everyone. 38 But instead he will give glory to the god of fortresses; to a god that his fathers did not know he will give glory by means of gold and silver and precious stones and desirable things. 39 He will act effectively against the most fortified strongholds, along with a foreign god. He will give great glory to those who give him recognition, and he will make them rule among many; and the ground he will apportion out for a price.

(Osia 7:1-16) “At the time when I would heal Israel, The error of Eʹphra·im is also exposed, And the wickedness of Sa·marʹi·a. For they practice deception; Thieves break in and marauder bands raid outside. 2 But they do not say in their heart that I will remember all their wickedness. Now their dealings are all around them; They are right in front of my face. 3 They make the king rejoice by their wickedness, And princes by their deceit. 4 All of them are adulterers, Burning like an oven fired by a baker, Who stops stirring the fire after kneading the dough until it is leavened. 5 On the day of our king, princes have become sick—They are enraged because of wine. He has reached out his hand to ridiculers. 6 For they approach with hearts burning like an oven. All night long the baker sleeps; In the morning the oven blazes like a flaming fire. 7 All of them are hot like an oven, And they devour their rulers. All their kings have fallen; No one among them calls out to me. 8 Eʹphra·im mixes with the nations. Eʹphra·im is like a round cake left unturned. 9 Strangers have consumed his strength, but he does not know it. And his gray hairs have turned white, but he does not notice it. 10 The pride of Israel has testified against him, But they have not returned to Jehovah their God, Nor have they looked for him despite all of this. 11 Eʹphra·im is like a simpleminded dove, lacking good sense. They have called out to Egypt; they have gone to As·syrʹi·a. 12 Wherever they go, I will spread my net over them. I will bring them down like the birds of the heavens. I will discipline them according to the warning given to their assembly. 13 Woe to them, for they have fled from me! Devastation to them, for they have transgressed against me! I was ready to redeem them, but they have spoken lies against me. 14 From their heart they did not call to me for help, Although they kept wailing on their beds. For their grain and new wine they would slash themselves; They turn against me. 15 Although I disciplined them and strengthened their arms, They are against me, scheming what is bad. 16 They changed course, but not to anything loftier; They were as unreliable as a loose bow. Their princes will fall by the sword because of their defiant tongues. For this they will be an object of ridicule in the land of Egypt.”

Let an enemy pursue him. 4 They have appointed kings, but not through me. They have appointed princes, but I did not recognize them. With their silver and their gold they have made idols, To their own destruction. 5 Your calf has been rejected, O Sa·marʹi·a. My anger flares up against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence? 6 For this is from Israel. A craftsman made it, and it is not God; The calf of Sa·marʹi·a will be reduced to splinters. 7 For it is wind that they are sowing, And they will reap a storm wind. No stalk produces ripe grain; Whatever sprouts produces no flour. If any is produced, foreigners will swallow it down. 8 Israel will be swallowed down. Now they will be among the nations, Like an unwanted vessel. 9 For they have gone up to As·syrʹi·a, like a lone wild donkey. Eʹphra·im has hired lovers. 10 Although they hire them from among the nations, I will now round them up; They will begin to suffer because of the burden imposed by king and princes. 11 For Eʹphra·im has multiplied altars to sin. They became his altars for sinning. 12 I wrote for him the many things of my law, But they were regarded as something strange. 13 They offer sacrificial gifts to me, and they eat the meat, But Jehovah takes no pleasure in them. Now he will remember their error and punish them for their sins. They have turned back to Egypt. 14 Israel has forgotten his Maker and has built temples, And Judah has multiplied fortified cities. But I will send fire into his cities, And it will consume the towers of each one.”

3 For look! in those days and in that time, When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will also gather together all the nations And bring them down to the Valley of Je·hoshʹa·phat. I will enter into judgment with them there In behalf of my people and my inheritance Israel, For they scattered them among the nations, And they divided up my land among themselves. 3 For my people they cast lots; They would trade a boy to hire a prostitute And sell a girl for wine to drink. 4 Also, what do you have against me, O Tyre and Siʹdon and all the regions of Phi·lisʹti·a? Are you repaying me for something? If you are repaying me, I will swiftly, speedily bring your repayment on your heads. 5 Because you have taken my silver and gold, And you have brought my finest treasures into your temples; 6 And the people of Judah and Jerusalem you have sold to the Greeks, In order to remove them far from their territory; 7 Here I am rousing them to come from the place where you sold them, And I will bring your repayment on your heads. 8 I will sell your sons and daughters into the hand of the people of Judah, And they will sell them to the men of Sheʹba, to a nation far away; For Jehovah himself has spoken it.
