Daniel 8:23-25

Contemporary English Version

²³ When these rulers have become as evil as possible, their power will end, and then a king who is dangerous and cannot be trusted will appear. ²⁴ He will gain strength, but not on his own, and he will cause terrible destruction. He will wipe out powerful leaders and God's people as well. ²⁵ His deceitful lies will make him so successful, that he will think he is really great. Suddenly he will kill many people, and he will even attack God, the Supreme Ruler. But God will crush him!
