13 Then I heard aa 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 transgression1 of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?”

Gabriel Interprets the Vision

15 Then it happened, when I, Daniel, had seen the vision and awas seeking the meaning, that suddenly there stood before me bone having the appearance of a man.  
16 And I heard a man’s voice abetween the banks of the Ulai, who called, and said, b“Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”  
17 So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was afraid and afell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the time of the end.”  
18 aNow, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep with my face to the ground; bbut he touched me, and stood me upright.  
19 And he said, “Look, I am making known to you what shall happen in the latter time of the indignation; afor at the appointed time the end shall be.  
20 The ram which you saw, having the two horns—they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 And the male goat is the kingdom of Greece. The large horn that is between its eyes ais the first king.  
22 aAs for the broken horn and the four that stood up in its place, four kingdoms shall arise out of that nation, but not with its power. 
23 “And in the latter time of their kingdom,
When the transgressors have reached their fullness,
A king shall arise,
aHaving fierce1 features,
Who understands sinister schemes. 
24 His power shall be mighty, abut not by his own power;
He shall destroy1 fearfully,
bAnd shall prosper and thrive;
cHe shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people. 
25 “Througha his cunning
He shall cause deceit to prosper under his1 rule;
bAnd he shall exalt himself in his heart.
He shall destroy many in their prosperity.
cHe shall even rise against the Prince of princes;
But he shall be dbroken without human means. 
26 “And the vision of the evenings and mornings
Which was told is true;
aTherefore seal up the vision,
For it refers to many days in the future.”  
27 aAnd I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days; afterward I arose and went about the king’s business. I was1 astonished by the vision, but no one understood it.
