23 In the latter period of their [a]reign,
When the transgressors have [b]run their course,
A king will stand,
[c]Insolent and skilled in [d]intrigue.
24 His power will be mighty, but not by his own power,
And he will [e](A)destroy to an [f]astonishing degree
And succeed and do his will;
He will [g]destroy mighty men and [h]the holy people.
25 And through his insight
He will cause deceit to succeed by his hand;
And he will magnify himself in his heart,
And he will [i]destroy many while they are [j]at ease.
He will even (B)stand against the Prince of princes,
But he will be broken (C)without hands.
