Daniel 8:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 Yea, it grew up unto the [a]host of heaven, and it cast down some of the host, and of the stars to the ground, and trode upon them,
11 And extolled himself against the [b]prince of the host, from whom the [c]daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his Sanctuary was cast down.
12 And [d]a time shall be given him over the daily sacrifice for the iniquity: and it shall [e]cast down the truth to the ground, and thus shall it do, and prosper.
