Daniel 11:31-33

International Standard Version

³¹ Armed forces will arise from his midst, and they’ll desecrate the fortified Sanctuary, abolish the daily sacrifice, and establish the destructive desecration. ³² Through flattery he’ll corrupt those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but people who know their God will be strong and take action. ³³ Insightful people^[a] will impart understanding to many, though they’ll fall by sword, by fire, by captivity, and as war booty for a while.^[b]
