Daniel 8:23-25

Amplified Bible

²³
“At the latter period of their reign,
When the transgressors have finished,
A ^[a]king will arise
Insolent and skilled in intrigue and cunning.
²⁴
“His power will be mighty, but not by his own power;
And he will corrupt and destroy in an astonishing manner
And [he will] prosper and do exactly as he wills;
He shall corrupt and destroy mighty men and the holy people.^(A)
²⁵
“And through his shrewdness
He will cause deceit to succeed by his hand (influence);
He will magnify himself in his mind,
He will corrupt and destroy many who enjoy a false sense of security.
He will also stand up and oppose the Prince of princes,
But he will be broken, and that by no human hand [but by the hand of God].^(B)
