8. Formal Translation I was observing the horns, and behold, another horn, a small one, came up among them, and three of the former horns were uprooted from before it. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things. |
8. Dynamic Translation As I watched the horns, suddenly another little horn came up among them, and three of the earlier horns were torn out to make room for it. In this horn were eyes like a man’s and a mouth speaking arrogantly. |
