When the transgressors have reached their fullness,
A king shall arise,
aHaving fierce1 features,
Who understands sinister schemes.
He shall destroy1 fearfully,
bAnd shall prosper and thrive;
cHe shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people.
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.
Which was told is true;
aTherefore seal up the vision,
For it refers to many days in the future.”
| << Daniel 8:22 | Daniel 8:24 >> |
