24 And his power will be mighty, but not by his own power,
And he will [a](A)destroy to an extraordinary degree
And be successful and do as he pleases;
He will [b]destroy mighty men and [c]the holy people.
25 And through his shrewdness
He will make deceit a success by his [d]influence;
And he will make himself great in his [e]own mind,
And he will [f]destroy many while they are [g]at ease.
He will even [h](B)oppose the Prince of princes,
But he will be broken (C)without [i]human agency.
26 And the vision of the evenings and mornings
Which has been told is (D)true;
But as for you, (E)keep the vision secret,
Because it pertains to many (F)days in the future.”
