“Let the name of God 2 be praised 3 forever and ever,
for wisdom and power belong to him.
2:21 He changes times and seasons,
deposing some kings
and establishing others. 4
He gives wisdom to the wise;
he imparts knowledge to those with understanding; 5
7:24 The ten horns
mean that ten kings will arise from that kingdom.
Another king will arise after them,
but he will be different from the earlier ones.
He will humiliate 8 three kings.
