31 And arms [a]shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the Sanctuary [b]of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall set up the abominable desolation.
32 And such as wickedly [c]break the covenant, shall he cause to sin by flattery: but the people that do know their God, shall prevail and prosper.
33 And they that understand among the [d]people, shall instruct many: [e]yet they shall fall by sword, and by flame, by captivity and by spoil many days.
