The man in Daniel's vision continues talking to Daniel.

This means that the newest king will openly disagree with the Most High. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
## He will try ... into his hand ##
The words "He" and "his" refer to the newest king, not the Most High.
## the holy ones ##
"the holy people" AT: "God's holy people"
## change festivals and the Law ##
Both terms refer to the Law of Moses. The festivals were an important part of the religion of Israel in the Old Testament.

AT: "The newest king will control the religous festivals and laws" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
## one year, two years, and half a year ##

This means that the judge will be ready to investigate evidence and make his judgment. AT: “The judge will judge” or “The judge will sit down”
## they will take his royal power away ##
AT: "the members of the court will take the royal power away from the newest king"
## to be consumed and destroyed at the end ##
AT: "and consume and destroy it in the end" or "and in the end his royal power will be completely destroyed"
