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.
