24. As for the ten horns,out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise,and another shall arise after them;he shall be different from the former ones,and shall put down three kings.
25. He shall speak words against the Most High,and shall wear out the saints of the Most High,and shall think to change the times and the law;and they shall be given into his handfor a time, times, and half a time.
26. But the court shall sit in judgment,and his dominion shall be taken away,to be consumed and destroyed to the end.
27. And the kingdom and the dominionand the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heavenshall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; his kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom,and all dominions shall serve and obey him.’
