9. And out of one of them came forth a little horn: and it became great against the south, and against the east, and against the strength.
10. And it was magnified even unto the strength of heaven: and it threw down of the strength, and of the stars, and trod upon them.
11. And it was magnified even to the prince of the strength: and it took away from him the continual sacrifice, and cast down the place of his sanctuary.
12. And strength was given him against the continual sacrifice, because of sins: and truth shall be cast down on the ground, and he shall do and shall prosper.
13. And I heard one of the saints speaking, and one saint said to another, I know not to whom that was speaking: How long shall be the vision, concerning the continual sacrifice, and the sin of the desolation that is made: and the sanctuary, and the strength be trodden under foot?
14. And he said to him: Unto evening and morning two thousand three hundred days: and the sanctuary shall be cleansed.
15. And it came to pass when I Daniel saw the vision, and sought the meaning, that behold there stood before me as it were the appearance of a man.
16. And I heard the voice of a man between Ulai: and he called, and said: Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
17. And he came and stood near where I stood: and when he was come, I fell on my face trembling, and he said to me: Understand, O son of man, for in the time of the end the vision shall be fulfilled.
18. And when he spoke to me I fell flat on the ground: and he touched me, and set me upright,
19. And he said to me: I will shew thee what things are to come to pass in the end of the malediction: for the time hath its end.
20. The ram, which thou sawest with horns, is the king of the Medes and Persians.
