25 He will insult the Most High
    and oppress the holy ones of the Most High
in his stubborn determination
    to change the sacred seasons and the law.
They shall be given into his power
    for a time, two times, and half a time.
26 Finally the court will sit in judgment,
    and his power will be taken away,
    with his sovereignty completely destroyed forever.
27 Then kingship and dominion and the splendor
    of all the kingdoms under the heavens
    will be given to the holy people of the Most High,
whose kingdom will be everlasting,
    and all dominions will serve and obey him.”
