He's going to make a deal with a lot of people for seven years. But halfway through, he'll shut down all the worship and sacrifices, and instead fill that holy place with disgusting, offensive things that make it completely empty and ruined. This mess will last until the very end, when everything that's been decided will finally happen to this broken place.

But you've completely lost your way. You've made so many people trip up and fall away from what's right. You've totally messed up the sacred promise I made with the priests, says the Lord who rules over everything.

Look! A king will rule with fairness and goodness, and his leaders will make decisions based on what is right and just.
