Daniel 8:25-27

Expanded Bible

²⁵ This king will succeed by using ·lies and force [^Lthe deceit in his hand/power]. He will ·think that he is very important [^Lbe great in his heart]. He will destroy many people ·without warning [or with ease]; he will ·try to fight [^Lstand against] even the Prince of princes! But ·that cruel king [^Lhe] will be ·destroyed [^Lbroken], and not by human ·power [^Lhand].

²⁶ “The vision that has been shown to you about these evenings and mornings is true. But seal up the vision, because ·those things won’t happen for a long time [^Lit concerns many days from now].”

²⁷ I, Daniel, became very weak and was sick for ·several days after that vision [^Lsome days]. Then I got up and went back to work for the king, but I was very ·upset [dismayed; perplexed] about the vision. I didn’t understand what it meant.
