And their tongue walks through the earth.

^25 (A)He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
Shall ^(B)persecute^[a] the saints of the Most High,
And shall ^(C)intend to change times and law.

^(E)For a time and times and half a time.

What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance,
And that we have walked as mourners
Before the Lord of hosts?
