29 “At the time appointed he shall return and come into the south, but it shall not be this time as it was before. 30 For ships of (A)Kittim shall come against him, and he shall be afraid and withdraw, and shall turn back and (B)be enraged and (C)take action against the holy covenant. He shall turn back and pay attention to those who forsake the holy covenant. 31 Forces from him shall appear and (D)profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And (E)they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate.

New American Standard Bible
29 “At the appointed time he will return and come into the South, but [a]this last time it will not turn out the way it did before. 30 For ships of [b](A)Kittim will come against him; therefore he will withdraw in fear and will return and curse the holy covenant and take action; so he will come back and pay attention to those who abandon the holy covenant. 31 Forces from him will arise, (B)desecrate the sanctuary fortress, and do away with the regular sacrifice. And they will set up the (C)abomination [c]of desolation.
