24 (A)The ten horns are ten kings
Who shall arise from this kingdom.
And another shall rise after them;
He shall be different from the first ones,
And shall subdue three kings.
25 (B)He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
Shall (C)persecute[a] the saints of the Most High,
And shall (D)intend to change times and law.
Then (E)the saints shall be given into his hand
(F)For a time and times and half a time.

26 ‘But(G) the court shall be seated,
And they shall (H)take away his dominion,
To consume and destroy it forever.
