Daniel 11:11-35

11The 1kingH4428 of the SouthH5045 will be enragedH4843 and goH3318 forthH3318 and fightH3898 2with the kingH4428 of the NorthH6828. Then the latter will raiseH5975 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995, but that multitudeH1995 will be givenH5414 into 3the handH3027 of the former. 12When the multitudeH1995 is carriedH5375 away, his heartH3824 will be liftedH7311 up, and he will cause tensH7239 of thousandsH7239 to fallH5307; yet he will not prevailH5810. 13For the kingH4428 of the NorthH6828 will againH7725 raiseH5975 a greaterH7227 multitudeH1995 thanH4480 the formerH7223, and 4afterH7093 an 5intervalH7093H6256 of someH6256 yearsH8141 he will 6pressH935 on with a greatH1419 armyH2428 and muchH7227 equipmentH7399.

14“Now in thoseH1992 timesH6256 manyH7227 will riseH5975 up againstH5921 the kingH4428 of the SouthH5045; the violentH6530 onesH1121H6530 among your peopleH5971 will also liftH5375 themselves up in order to fulfillH5975 the visionH2377, but they will 7fallH3782 downH3782. 15Then the kingH4428 of the NorthH6828 will comeH935, castH8210 up a 8siegeH5550 rampH5550 and captureH3920 a well-fortifiedH4013 cityH5892; and the forcesH2220 of the SouthH5045 will not standH5975 their ground, not even 9their choicestH4005 troopsH5971, for thereH369 will be noH369 strengthH3581 to makeH5975 a standH5975. 16But he who comesH935 againstH413 him will 10doH6213 as he pleasesH7522, and 11noH369 oneH369 will be able to withstandH6440H5975 him; he will also stayH5975 for a time in the 1213BeautifulH6643 LandH776, with destructionH3617 in his handH3027. 17He will 14setH7760 his faceH6440 to comeH935 with the powerH8633 of his wholeH3605 kingdomH4438, 15bringing with him 16a proposalH3477 of peaceH3477 which he will putH6213 into effectH6213; he will also giveH5414 him the daughterH1323 of womenH802 to ruinH7843 it. But she will not takeH5975 a standH5975 for him or be 17on his side. 18Then he will turnH7725 his faceH6440 to the 18coastlandsH339 and captureH3920 manyH7227. But a commanderH7101 will putH7673 a stopH7673 to his scornH2781 against him; moreoverH1115, he will 19repayH7725 him for his scornH2781. 19So he will turnH7725 his faceH6440 toward the fortressesH4581 of his own landH776, but he will 20stumbleH3782 and fallH5307 and be 21foundH4672 noH3808 more.

20“Then in his placeH3653 one will ariseH5975 who will 22sendH5674 an 23oppressorH5065 throughH5674 the 24JewelH1925 of his kingdomH4438; yet within a fewH259 daysH3117 he will be shatteredH7665, though not in angerH639 norH3808 in battleH4421. 21In his placeH3653 a despicableH959 person will ariseH5975, on whom the honorH1935 of kingshipH4438 has not been conferredH5414, but he will comeH935 in a timeH7962 of tranquilityH7962 and 25seizeH2388 the kingdomH4438 by intrigueH2519. 22The overflowingH7858 26forcesH2220 will be floodedH7857 awayH7857 beforeH4480H6440 him and shatteredH7665, and alsoH1571 the princeH5057 of the covenantH1285. 23AfterH4480 an allianceH2266 is madeH2266 with him he will practiceH6213 deceptionH4820, and he will goH5927 up and gainH6105 powerH6105 with a smallH4592 force of peopleH1471. 2427In a timeH7962 of tranquilityH7962 he will enterH935 the 28richestH4924 parts of the 29realmH4082, and he will accomplishH6213 whatH834 his fathersH1 neverH3808 didH6213, norH3808 his 30ancestorsH1; he will distributeH967 plunderH961, bootyH7998 and possessionsH7399 among them, and he will deviseH2803 his schemesH4284 againstH5921 strongholdsH4013, but only for a timeH6256. 25He will stirH5782 up his strengthH3581 and 31courageH3824 againstH5921 the 32kingH4428 of the SouthH5045 with a largeH1419 armyH2428; so the kingH4428 of the SouthH5045 will mobilizeH1624 an extremelyH5704H3966 largeH1419 and mightyH6099 armyH2428 for warH4421; but he will not standH5975, for schemesH4284 will be devisedH2803 againstH5921 him. 26Those who eatH398 his choiceH6598 foodH6598 will 33destroyH7665 him, and his armyH2428 will 3435overflowH7857, but manyH7227 will fallH5307 downH5307 slainH2491. 27As for bothH8147 kingsH4428, their heartsH3824 will be intent on 36evilH7489, and they will 37speakH1696 liesH3577 to each other at the sameH259 tableH7979; but it will not succeedH6743, for the 38endH7093 is stillH5750 to come at the appointedH4150 timeH4150. 28Then he will returnH7725 to his landH776 with muchH1419 39plunderH7399; but his heartH3824 will be set againstH5921 the holyH6944 covenantH1285, and he will takeH6213 actionH6213 and then returnH7725 to his own landH776.

29“At the appointedH4150 timeH4150 he will returnH7725 and comeH935 into the SouthH5045, but 40this lastH314 timeH314 it will not turnH1961 out the way it did beforeH7223. 30For shipsH6716 of 4142KittimH3794 will comeH935 against him; therefore he will be disheartenedH3512 and will returnH7725 and becomeH2194 enragedH2194 at the holyH6944 covenantH1285 and takeH6213 actionH6213; so he will comeH7725 backH7725 and showH995 regardH995 for those who forsakeH5800 the holyH6944 covenantH1285. 31ForcesH2220 from him will ariseH5975, 43desecrateH2490 the sanctuaryH4720 fortressH4581, and doH5493 awayH5493 with the regularH8548 sacrificeH8548. And they will setH5414 up the 44abominationH8251 45of desolationH8074. 32By 46smoothH2514 words he will 47turnH2610 to godlessnessH2610 those who actH7561 wickedlyH7561 toward the covenantH1285, but the peopleH5971 who knowH3045 their GodH430 will displayH2388 48strengthH2388 and takeH6213 actionH6213. 334950Those who haveH7919 insightH7919 among the peopleH5971 will giveH995 understandingH995 to the manyH7227; yet they will 51fallH3782 by swordH2719 and by flameH3852, by captivityH7628 and by plunderH961 for many daysH3117. 34Now when they fallH3782 they will be grantedH5826 a littleH4592 helpH5828, and manyH7227 will 52joinH3867 with them in 53hypocrisyH2519. 35SomeH4480 of 54those who haveH7919 insightH7919 will fallH3782, in order to 55refineH6884, 56purgeH1305 and makeH3835 them 5758pureH3835 untilH5704 the 59endH7093 timeH6256; becauseH3588 it is stillH5750 to come at the appointedH4150 timeH4150.
