9 And out of the first of them came forth a little horn, which grew much toward the south and toward the east and toward the desirable land.
10 And it magnified itself unto the host of heaven, and it cast down part of the host and of the stars to the ground and trod them under.
11 Even against the prince of the host did he magnify himself, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast to the earth.
12 And the host was given over by reason of the prevarication upon the daily sacrifice; and he cast the truth to the ground; and he did whatever he would and prospered.
13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto the one which spoke, How long shall the vision of the daily sacrifice last and the prevarication of desolation that places both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days of evening and morning; then shall the sanctuary be justified.
15 And it came to pass, as I, Daniel, was considering the vision and seeking to understand it, behold, there stood before me the likeness of a man.
