He even exalted [himself] as high as the Prince of the host; and by him the daily [sacrifices] were taken away, and the place of His sanctuary was cast down.

Then I heard a holy one speaking; and [another] holy one said to that certain [one] who was speaking, "How long [will] the vision [be, concerning] the daily [sacrifices] and the transgression of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled under foot?"

Then it happened, when I, Daniel, had seen the vision and was seeking the meaning, that suddenly there stood before me one having the appearance of a man.

In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar. The message [was] true, but the appointed time [was] long; and he understood the message, and had understanding of the vision.

"But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."

And he said, "Go [your way,] Daniel, for the words [are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

"Son of man, look, the house of Israel is saying, 'The vision that he sees [is] for many days [from now,] and he prophesies of times far off.'

Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them."

And he said to me, "Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.

In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar. The message [was] true, but the appointed time [was] long; and he understood the message, and had understanding of the vision.

"Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision [refers] to [many] days yet [to come."]

They will be gathered together, [As] prisoners are gathered in the pit, And will be shut up in the prison; After many days they will be punished.

And I said to her, "You shall stay with me many days; you shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man -- so, too, [will] I [be] toward you."

For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without ephod or teraphim.
