Daniel 11:31-36

English Standard Version

³¹ Forces from him shall appear and ^(A)profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And ^(B)they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate. ³² He shall seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action. ^33 (C)And the wise among the people shall make many understand, though for some days they shall stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder. ³⁴ When they stumble, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join themselves to them with flattery, ³⁵ and some of the wise shall stumble, so that they may be refined, ^(D)purified, and ^(E)made white, until ^(F)the time of the end, ^(G)for it still awaits the appointed time.

³⁶ “And the king shall ^(H)do as he wills. ^(I)He shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, ^(J)and shall speak astonishing things against ^(K)the God of gods. ^(L)He shall prosper ^(M)till the indignation is accomplished; for what is decreed shall be done.
