Daniel 8:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 And extolled himself against the [a]prince of the host, from whom the [b]daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his Sanctuary was cast down.
12 And [c]a time shall be given him over the daily sacrifice for the iniquity: and it shall [d]cast down the truth to the ground, and thus shall it do, and prosper.
13 Then I heard one of the [e]Saints speaking, and one of the Saints spake unto a certain one, saying, How long shall endure the vision of the daily sacrifice, and the iniquity of the [f]desolation to tread both the Sanctuary and the [g]army underfoot?
