Daniel 8:23-25
1599 Geneva Bible
23 And in the end of their kingdom, when the rebellious shall be consumed, a King of [a]fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not [b]in his strength: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the [c]mighty, and the holy people.
25 And through his [d]policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand, and he shall extol himself in his heart, and by [e]peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the [f]prince of princes, but he shall be broken down [g]without hand.
