Daniel 8:9-14

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁹ Out of one of them came another^[a] horn, a little one, which grew exceedingly great towards the south, towards the east, and towards the beautiful land. ¹⁰ It grew as high as the host of heaven. It threw down to the earth some of the host and some of the stars, and trampled on them. ¹¹ Even against the prince of the host it acted arrogantly; it took the regular burnt-offering away from him and overthrew the place of his sanctuary. ¹² Because of wickedness, the host was given over to it together with the regular burnt-offering;^[b] it cast truth to the ground, and kept prospering in what it did. ¹³ Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to the one that spoke, ‘For how long is this vision concerning the regular burnt-offering, the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled?’^{[c] 14} And he answered him,^[d] ‘For two thousand three hundred evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary shall be restored to its rightful state.’
