Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
- B 23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
  - C 24a And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully,
    - D 24b And shall prosper, and practise,
      - E 24c And shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
    - D' 25a And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand;
  - C' 25b And he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many:
- B' 25c He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes;
A' 25d But he shall be broken without hand.
