7:6 “After these things, 1 as I was watching, another beast 2 like a leopard appeared, with four bird-like wings on its back. 3 This beast had four heads, 4 and ruling authority was given to it.
7:24 The ten horns
mean that ten kings will arise from that kingdom.
Another king will arise after them,
but he will be different from the earlier ones.
He will humiliate 5 three kings.

6 tn Heb “heart.” So also in v. 28.
