Daniel 11:21-45

21And in his place shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom; but he shall come in peaceably and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. 22And the overflowing forces shall be overflowed from before him, and shall be broken: yea, also the prince of the covenant. 23And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully, and he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people. 24In time of peace shall he enter even into 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 prey, and spoil, and substance, and he shall plan his devices against the fortified places, even for a time. 25And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall engage in battle with an exceeding great and mighty army; but he shall not stand, for they shall plan devices against him. 26And they that eat of his delicate food shall break him, and his army shall be dissolved; and many shall fall down slain. 27And both these kings' hearts [shall meditate] mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper; for yet the end shall be at the time appointed. 28And he shall return into his land with great substance; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall practise, and return to his own land. 29At the set time he shall return, and come towards the south; but not as the former time shall be the latter; 30for ships of Chittim shall come against him; and he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant; and will practise; and he shall return and direct his attention to those that forsake the holy covenant. 31And forces shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, the fortress, and shall take away the continual [sacrifice], and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. 32And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries; but the people that know their 1God shall be strong, and shall act. 33And they that are wise among the people shall instruct the many; and they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, [many] days. 34And when they fall, they shall be helped with a little help; but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 35And [some] of the wise shall fall, to try them, and to purge and to make them white, to the time of the end: for it shall yet be for the time appointed. 36And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every 2god, and speak monstrous things against the 3God of 4gods; and he shall prosper until the indignation be accomplished: for that which is determined shall be done. 37And he will not regard the 5God of his fathers, nor the desire of women; nor regard any 6god: for he will magnify himself above all. 38And in his place will he honour the 7god of fortresses; and a 8god whom his fathers knew not will he honour with gold and silver, and with precious stones and pleasant things. 39And he will practise in the strongholds of fortresses with a strange 9god: whoso acknowledgeth him will he increase with glory; and he shall cause them to rule over the many, and shall divide the land [to them] for a reward. 40And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him; and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and overflow and pass through. 41And he shall enter into the land of beauty, and many [countries] shall be overthrown; but these shall escape out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. 42And he shall stretch forth his hand upon the countries; and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43And he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. 44But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; and he shall go forth with great fury to exterminate, and utterly to destroy many. 45And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the mountain of holy beauty; and he shall come to his end, and there shall be none to help him.
