28 And he will return to his land with many resources. And his heart will be against the holy testament, and he will act, and he will return to his own land.
29 At the appointed time, he will return, and he will approach the South, but the latter time will not be like the former.
30 And the Greek warships and the Romans will come upon him, and he will be pierced, and will retreat, and will have scorn against the testament of the sanctuary, and he will act. And he will return and will consult their adversaries, who have forsaken the covenant of the sanctuary.
31 And arms will take his side, and they will pollute the sanctuary of the strength, and they will take away the continual sacrifice and will replace it with the abomination of desolation.
32 And the impious within the testament will imitate deceitfully, but the people, knowing their God, will persevere and will act.
33 And the teachers among the people will teach many, but they will be ruined by the sword, and by fire, and by captivity, and by assaults for many days.
