Daniel 8:7

וּרְאִיתִיו מַגִּיעַ׀ אֵצֶל הָאַיִל וַיִּתְמַרְמַר אֵלָיו וַיַּךְ אֶת-הָאַיִל וַיְשַׁבֵּר אֶת-שְׁתֵּי קְרָנָיו וְלֹא-הָיָה כֹחַ בָּאַיִל לַעֲמֹד לְפָנָיו וַיַּשְׁלִיכֵהוּ אַרְצָה וַֽיִּרְמְסֵהוּ וְלֹא-הָיָה מַצִּיל לָאַיִל מִיָּדֽוֹ׃

And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

Daniel 7:4

קַדְמָיְתָא כְאַרְיֵה וְגַפִּין דִּֽי-נְשַׁר לַהּ חָזֵה הֲוֵית עַד דִּי-מְּרִיטוּ גַפַּיהּ וּנְטִילַת מִן-אַרְעָא וְעַל-רַגְלַיִן כֶּאֱנָשׁ הֳקִימַת וּלְבַב אֱנָשׁ יְהִיב לַֽהּ׃

The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
