yea {Yea}, he magnified [himself] even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily [sacrifice] was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. yea {Yea}, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that [is] written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. yea {Yea}, whiles I [was] speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. yea And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace [be] unto thee, be strong, {yea}, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me. yea And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; {yea}, also the prince of the covenant. yea He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do [that] which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: [{yea}], and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time. yea {Yea}, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain. yea And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: {Yea}, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. ~~~~~~
