25 “Through^a 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.

Did the king' s business - Transacted the affairs of state that belonged to my department, after having been sick for certain days through the effects of this vision. He had a pious and feeling heart; and he was distressed for the desolations that were coming upon his people.
