24 His power will be mighty, but not by his own power,
And he will [a](A)destroy to an [b]astonishing degree
And succeed and do his will;
He will [c]destroy mighty men and [d]the holy people.

And he will magnify himself in his heart,
And he will [e]destroy many while they are [f]at ease.
He will even (B)stand against the Prince of princes,
But he will be broken (C)without hands.

Which has been told is (D)true;
But as for you, (E)conceal the vision,
For it pertains to many (F)days in the future.”
