25 And through his shrewdness
He will make deceit a success by his [a]influence;
And he will make himself great in his [b]own mind,
And he will [c]destroy many while they are [d]at ease.
He will even [e](A)oppose the Prince of princes,
But he will be broken (B)without [f]human agency.
26 And the vision of the evenings and mornings
Which has been told is (C)true;
But as for you, (D)keep the vision secret,
Because it pertains to many (E)days in the future.”

27 Then I, Daniel, was [g](F)exhausted and sick for days. Then I got up and (G)carried on the king’s business; but I was astounded at the vision, and there was no one to explain it.
