22 The four horns that took the place of the shattered horn represent four kingdoms. They will rise from that nation, but without its power.

23 Near the end of their kingdoms,
when the rebels have reached
the full measure of their sin,[a]
an insolent king, skilled in intrigue,[b]
will come to the throne.
24 His power will be great,
but it will not be his own.
He will cause terrible destruction(A)
and succeed in whatever he does.
He will destroy the powerful
along with the holy people.(B)
