22 The horn that snapped so that four came up in its place means that four kingdoms will come from one nation, but these four won’t have the strength of the first one.

23 When their kingship nears its end
    and their sins[a] are almost complete,
        a king will step forward.
He will be stern and a master of deception.
24     At the height of his power,[b]
        he will wreak unbelievable destructions.
He will succeed in all he does.
    He will destroy both the mighty
        and the people of the holy ones.
