Daniel 8:9-13

New King James Version

⁹^(A)And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, ^(B)toward the east, and toward the ^(C)Glorious Land. ¹⁰^(D)And it grew up to ^(E)the host of heaven; and ^(F)it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them. ¹¹^(G)He even exalted himself as high as ^(H)the Prince of the host; ^(I)and by him ^(J)the daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of ^[a]His sanctuary was cast down. ¹²Because of transgression, ^(K)an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast ^(L)truth down to the ground. He ^(M)did all this and prospered.

¹³Then I heard ^(N)a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, “How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression ^[b]of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?”

New King James Version

²³“And in the latter time of their kingdom,
When the transgressors have reached their fullness,
A king shall arise,
^(A)Having fierce ^[a]features,
Who understands sinister schemes.
²⁴His power shall be mighty, ^(B)but not by his own power;
He shall destroy ^[b]fearfully,
^(C)And shall prosper and thrive;
^(D)He shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people.

²⁵“Through^(E) his cunning
He shall cause deceit to prosper under his ^[c]rule;
^(F)And he shall exalt himself in his heart.
He shall destroy many in their prosperity.
^(G)He shall even rise against the Prince of princes;
But he shall be ^(H)broken without human ^[d]means.
