Daniel 8:25-27

King James Version

²⁵And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

²⁶And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.

²⁷And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

Daniel 8:25-27

New American Standard Bible

²⁵And 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.
²⁶And 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.”

²⁷Then 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.
