23 Then I was told
    by the one standing there:
“The fourth beast
will be a fourth kingdom
    to appear on earth.
It will be different
    from all the others—
it will trample the earth
    and crush it to pieces.
24 (A) All ten of those horns are kings
who will come from this kingdom,
    and one more will follow.
This horn will be different
    from the others,
and it will conquer
    three other kings.

25 (B) “This king will speak evil
    of God Most High,
and he will be cruel
    to God's chosen ones.
He will try to change God's Law
    and the sacred seasons.
And he will be able to do this
for a time, two times,
    and half a time.[a]
