9 Out of one of them came ^ga little horn, which grew exceedingly great toward ^hthe south, toward the east, and toward ⁱthe glorious land. 10 ^jIt grew great, ^keven to the host of heaven. And some of the host ^kand some¹ of ^lthe stars it threw down to the ground and ^mtrampled on them. 11 ⁿIt became great, even as great as ^othe Prince of the host. ^pAnd the regular burnt offering was taken away from him, and the place of his sanctuary was overthrown.

31 Forces from him shall appear and ^fprofane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And ^gthey 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 ^hAnd 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, ⁱpurified, and ^jmade white, until ^kthe time of the end, ^kfor it still awaits the appointed time.

36 “And the king shall ^ldo as he wills. ^mHe shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, ⁿand shall speak astonishing things against ^othe God of gods. ^pHe shall prosper ^qtill the indignation is accomplished; for what is decreed shall be done. 37 He shall pay no attention to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women. He shall not pay attention to any other god, for ^mhe shall magnify himself above all. 38 He shall honor the god of fortresses instead of these. A god whom his fathers did not know he shall honor ^rwith gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts.

11 And from the time that ^zthe regular burnt offering is taken away and ^athe abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days.
