Daniel 11:31-33

The Voice

³¹ The king will command his forces to take over the city and pollute the temple fortress. After they outlaw the daily sacrifices to the one True God, they will set up the disgusting idol that will desecrate the most holy place.^{[a] 32} With smooth talk, he will entice people who act wickedly and break the covenant. But those who truly know their God will remain strong and work against him. ³³ The truly wise among God’s people will help the many understand the need to resist; yet for quite some time they will be killed by sword and fire, or they will be imprisoned and their property taken.
