Daniel 8:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 And out of one of them came forth a [a]little horn, which waxed very great toward the [b]South, and toward the [c]East, and toward the [d]pleasant land.
10 Yea, it grew up unto the [e]host of heaven, and it cast down some of the host, and of the stars to the ground, and trode upon them,
11 And extolled himself against the [f]prince of the host, from whom the [g]daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his Sanctuary was cast down.

New International Version
9 Out of one of them came another horn, which started small(A) but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land.(B) 10 It grew until it reached(C) the host of the heavens, and it threw some of the starry host down to the earth(D) and trampled(E) on them. 11 It set itself up to be as great as the commander(F) of the army of the Lord;(G) it took away the daily sacrifice(H) from the Lord, and his sanctuary was thrown down.(I)
