13     I saw another spectacle in the night visions:
        I looked and saw someone like a son of man
        coming with the clouds of heaven.[a]
    He approached the Ancient of Days
        and was ushered into His presence.
14     To Him was given authority, honor, and a kingdom
        so that all people of every heritage, nationality, and language might serve Him.
    His dominion will last forever,
        His throne will never pass away,
        and His kingdom will never be destroyed.

15 As for me, Daniel, I was deeply disturbed by all that I saw; these night visions terrified me.
