29. At the set time he shall return, and come towards the south; but not as the former time shall be the latter;
30. for ships of Chittim shall come against him; and he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant; and will practise; and he shall return and direct his attention to those that forsake the holy covenant.
31. And forces shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, the fortress, and shall take away the continual sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
32. And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries; but the people that know their God shall be strong, and shall act.
