24 As for the (A)ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings. 25 He will (B)speak [a]out against the (C)Most High and (D)wear down the [b]saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make (E)alterations in times and in law; and [c]they will be given into his hand for a [d](F)time, [e]times, and half a [f]time. 26 But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be (G)taken away, [g]annihilated and destroyed [h]forever. 27 Then the [i](H)sovereignty, the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the [j]saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an (I)everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will (J)serve and obey Him.’

28 [k]At this point the revelation ended. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts were (K)greatly alarming me and my [l]face grew pale, but I (L)kept the matter [m]to myself.”
