24 “His power will be mighty, but not by his own power,
And he will [a](A)destroy to an extraordinary degree
And prosper and perform his will;
He will [b]destroy mighty men and [c]the holy people.
25 “And through his shrewdness
He will cause deceit to succeed by his [d]influence;
And he will magnify himself in his heart,
And he will [e]destroy many while they are [f]at ease.
He will even [g](B)oppose the Prince of princes,
But he will be broken (C)without [h]human agency.
26 “The vision of the evenings and mornings
Which has been told is (D)true;
But (E)keep the vision secret,
For it pertains to many (F)days in the future.”
