Daniel 8:23-27

New American Standard Bible

²³ And in the latter period of their ^[a]dominion,
When the wrongdoers have ^[b]run their course,
A king will arise,
^[c]Insolent and skilled in ^[d]intrigue.
²⁴ And his power will be mighty, but not by his own power,
And he will ^[e](A)destroy to an extraordinary degree
And be successful and do as he pleases;
He will ^[f]destroy mighty men and ^[g]the holy people.
²⁵ And through his shrewdness
He will make deceit a success by his ^[h]influence;
And he will make himself great in his ^[i]own mind,
And he will ^[j]destroy many while they are ^[k]at ease.
He will even ^[l](B)oppose the Prince of princes,
But he will be broken ^(C)without ^[m]human agency.
²⁶ And the vision of the evenings and mornings
Which has been told is ^(D)true;
But as for you, ^(E)keep the vision secret,
Because it pertains to many ^(F)days in the future.”
