KJV ORIGINAL
Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
I looked up and saw this ram standing by the river with two horns. Both horns were tall, but one was definitely taller than the other — and weirdly, the taller one had grown in later.
