Daniel 7:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 The first was like a lion and had eagles’ wings. Then, as I watched, its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a human being, and a human mind was given to it.(A) 5 Another beast appeared, a second one, that looked like a bear. It was raised up on one side, had three tusks[a] in its mouth among its teeth, and was told, “Arise, devour many bodies!” 6 After this, as I watched, another appeared, like a leopard. The beast had four wings of a bird on its back and four heads, and dominion was given to it.(B)

New International Version
4 “The first was like a lion,(A) and it had the wings of an eagle.(B) I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted from the ground so that it stood on two feet like a human being, and the mind of a human was given to it.
5 “And there before me was a second beast, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, ‘Get up and eat your fill of flesh!’(C)
6 “After that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard.(D) 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.
