The Ancient of Days

“I kept looking
Until (A)thrones were set up,
And the Ancient of Days was seated;
His (B)clothing was like white snow
And the (C)hair of His head like pure wool.
His (D)throne was [a]ablaze with fire,
Its (E)wheels were a burning fire.
10 A river of (F)fire was flowing
And coming out from before Him;
(G)Thousands upon thousands were attending Him,
And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him;
The (H)court sat,
And (I)the books were opened.

11 Then I kept looking because of the sound of the great boastful words which the horn was speaking; I kept looking until the beast was killed, and its body was destroyed and given to the (J)burning [b]fire.
