13 I continued watching in the night visions,

and suddenly one like a son of man(A)
was coming with the clouds of heaven.(B)
He approached the Ancient of Days
and was escorted before him.
14 He was given dominion(C)
and glory and a kingdom,
so that those of every people,
nation, and language(D)
should serve(E) him.

that will not pass away,
and his kingdom is one
that will not be destroyed.
