25 (A)He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
Shall (B)persecute[a] the saints of the Most High,
And shall (C)intend to change times and law.
Then (D)the saints shall be given into his hand
(E)For a time and times and half a time.

26 ‘But(F) the court shall be seated,
And they shall (G)take away his dominion,
To consume and destroy it forever.
27 Then the (H)kingdom and dominion,
And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven,
Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High.
(I)His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
(J)And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.’
