²⁴ His power will be great,
but it will not be his own.
He will cause outrageous destruction^(A)
and succeed in whatever he does.
He will destroy the powerful
along with the holy people.^(B)
25 He will cause deceit to prosper
through his cunning and by his influence,
and in his own mind he will exalt himself.
He will destroy many in a time of peace;
he will even stand against the Prince of princes.
Yet he will be broken—not by human hands.^(C)
26 The vision of the evenings and the mornings
that has been told is true.
Now you are to seal up the vision^(D)
because it refers to many days in the future.”
