Daniel 8:23-25

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²³ Near the end of their kingdoms,
when the rebels have reached
the full measure of their sin,^[a]
an insolent king, skilled in intrigue,^[b]
will come to the throne.
²⁴ His power will be great,
but it will not be his own.
He will cause terrible destruction^(A)
and succeed in whatever he does.
He will destroy the powerful
along with the holy people.^(B)
25 He will cause deceit to prosper
through his cunning and by his influence,
and in his own mind he will make himself great.
He will destroy many in a time of peace;
he will even stand against the Prince of princes.
Yet he will be shattered—not by human hands.^(C)
