²⁵     This king will speak out against the Most High,
        and try to wear down His holy ones;
    He will seek to alter the sacred times and special law God gave them,
        and they will be under his control
        for time, times, and half a time.
²⁶     After this, the heavenly court will sit in judgment,
        his authority will be taken from him,
        and his supremacy over the earth will come to a permanent end.
²⁷     Then the great ruling authority
        of the kingdoms under the heavens
    Shall be handed over to the covenant people,
        the holy ones of the Most High;
    Their kingdom will last forever,
        and all the remaining kingdoms will worship and serve Him.”
