Daniel 11:2-20

2And nowH6258 will I show thee the truthH571. Behold, there shall standH5975 up yetH5750 threeH7969 kingsH4428 in PersiaH6539; and the fourthH7243 shall be far richer than they all: and when he is waxed strong through his richesH6239, he shall stirH5782 up all against the realm of GreeceH3120. 3And a mightyH1368 kingH4428 shall standH5975 up, that shall ruleH4910 with greatH7227 dominionH4910, and do according to his will. 4And when he shall standH5975 up, his kingdomH4438 shall be brokenH7665, and shall be dividedH2673 toward the fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064, but not to his posterityH319, nor according to his dominionH4910 wherewith he ruledH4910; for his kingdomH4438 shall be pluckedH5428 up, even for othersH312 besides these.

5And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be strongH2388, andoneH4480of his princesH8269; and he shall be strongH2388 above him, and have dominionH4475; his dominionH4475 shall be a greatH7227 dominionH4475. 6And at the endH7093 of yearsH8141 they shall joinH2266 themselves togetherH2266; and the daughterH1323 of the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall comeH935 to the kingH4428 of the northH6828 to makeH5414 an agreement: but she shall not retainH6113 the strengthH2220 of her armH2220; neither shall he standH5975, nor his armH2220; but she shall be givenH5414 up, and they that broughtH935 her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthenedH2388 her in those timesH6256.

7But out of a shoot from her rootsH8328 shall one standH5975 up in his place, who shall comeH935 unto the armyH2428, and shall enter into the fortress of the kingH4428 of the northH6828, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail. 8And alsoH1571 their godsH430, with their molten images, and with their goodly vesselsH3627 of silverH3701 and of goldH2091, shall he carry captive into EgyptH4714; and he shall refrain some yearsH8141 from the kingH4428 of the northH6828. 9And he shall comeH935 into the realm of the kingH4428 of the southH5045, but he shall returnH7725 into his own landH127.

10And his sonsH1121 shall warH1624, and shall assemble a multitudeH1995 of greatH7227 forces, which shall comeH935 on, and overflowH7857, and passH5674 through; and they shall returnH7725 and warH1624, even to his fortress. 11And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be moved with anger, and shall comeH3318 forthH3318 and fightH3898 with him, even with the kingH4428 of the northH6828; and he shall setH5414 forthH3318 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995, and the multitudeH1995 shall be givenH5414 into his handH3027. 12And the multitudeH1995 shall be liftedH5375 up, and his heartH3824 shall be exaltedH7311; and he shall castH5307 downH5307 tensH7239 of thousandsH7239, but he shall not prevailH5810. 13And the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall returnH7725, and shall setH5975 forth a multitudeH1995 greaterH1419 than the formerH7223; and he shall comeH935 on at the endH7093 of the timesH6256, even of yearsH8141, with a greatH1419 armyH2428 and with muchH7227 substance. 14And in those timesH6256 there shall manyH7227 standH5975 up against the kingH4428 of the southH5045: also the children of the violentH6530 among thy peopleH5971 shall liftH5375 themselves up to establish the visionH2377; but they shall fall. 15So the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall comeH935, and cast up a mound, and takeH3920 a well-fortified cityH5892: and the forces of the southH5045 shall not standH5975, neither his chosen peopleH5971, neither shall there be any strengthH2220 to standH5975. 16But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall standH5975 before him; and he shall standH5975 in the glorious landH776, and in his handH3027 shall be destruction. 17And he shall setH7760 his faceH6440 to comeH935 with the strength of his whole kingdomH4438, and with him equitable conditions; and he shall perform them: and he shall giveH5414 him the daughterH1323 of womenH802, to corruptH7843 her; but she shall not standH5975, neither beH1961 for him. 18After this shall he turnH7725 his faceH6440 unto the isles, and shall take manyH7227: but a prince shall cause the reproachH2781 offered by him to ceaseH7673; yea, moreover, he shall cause his reproachH2781 to turnH7725 upon him. 19Then he shall turnH7725 his faceH6440 toward the fortresses of his own landH776; but he shall stumbleH3782 and fallH5307, and shall not be foundH4672.

20Then shall standH5975 up in his place oneH259 that shall cause an exactor to passH5674 through the glory of the kingdomH4438; but within few daysH3117 he shall be destroyed, neither in angerH639, nor in battleH4421.
