25 “And through his skill he shall make deceit prosper in his hand, and hold himself to be great in his heart, and destroy many who are at ease, and even stand against the Prince of princes – yet without hand he shall be broken.
26 “And what was said in the vision of the evenings and mornings is truth. And hide the vision, for it is after many days.”
