Daniel 8:23-25

Christian Standard Bible

²³ Near the end of their kingdoms,
when the rebels have reached
the full measure of their sin,^[a](A)
a ruthless^[b] king, skilled in intrigue,^[c]
will come to the throne.
²⁴ His power will be great,
but it will not be his own.
He will cause outrageous destruction^(B)
and succeed in whatever he does.
He will destroy the powerful
along with the holy people.^(C)
25 He will cause deceit to prosper
through his cunning and by his influence,
and in his own mind he will exalt himself.
He will destroy many in a time of peace;
he will even stand against the Prince of princes.
Yet he will be broken—not by human hands.^(D)
