(A)And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, (B)toward the east, and toward the (C)Glorious Land. 10 (D)And it grew up to (E)the host of heaven; and (F)it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them. 11 (G)He even exalted himself as high as (H)the Prince of the host; (I)and by him (J)the daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of [a]His sanctuary was cast down. 12 Because of transgression, (K)an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast (L)truth down to the ground. He (M)did all this and prospered.

13 Then I heard (N)a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, “How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression [b]of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?”

14 And he said to me, “For two thousand three hundred [c]days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.”
