Daniel 11:21-45

21And in his placeH3653 a despicableH959 person will ariseH5975, on whom the majestyH1935 of kingshipH4438 has not been conferredH5414; but he will comeH935 in a time of tranquilityH7962 and 1seizeH2388 the kingdomH4438 by intrigueH2519. 22And the overflowingH7858 2forcesH2220 will be floodedH7857 awayH7857 from him and smashedH7665, and alsoH1571 the princeH5057 of the covenantH1285. 23AfterH4480 an allianceH2266 isH2266 madeH2266 with him he will practiceH6213 deceptionH4820, and he will goH5927 upH5927 and gainH6105 powerH6105 with a smallH4592 force of peopleH1471. 243In a timeH7962 ofH7962 tranquilityH7962 he will enterH935 the 4richestH4924 parts of the 5realmH4082, and he will accomplishH6213 whatH834 his fathersH1 did not, norH3808 his 6ancestorsH1; he will distributeH967 plunderH961, spoilsH7998, and possessionsH7399 among them, and he will deviseH2803 his schemesH4284 againstH5921 strongholdsH4013, but only for a timeH6256. 25And he will stirH5782 upH5782 his strengthH3581 and 7courageH3824 againstH5921 the 8kingH4428 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, becauseH3588 schemesH4284 will be devisedH2803 againstH5921 him. 26Those who eatH398 his choiceH6598 foodH6598 will 9destroyH7665 him, and his armyH2428 will 1011overflowH7857, but manyH7227 will fallH5307 downH5307 slainH2491. 27As for bothH8147 kingsH4428, their heartsH3824 will be intent on 12evilH7489, and they will 13speakH1696 liesH3577 to each other at the sameH259 tableH7979; but it will not succeedH6743, becauseH3588 the 14endH7093 is stillH5750 to come at the appointedH4150 timeH4150. 28Then he will returnH7725 to his landH776 with muchH1419 15plunderH7399; 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 16this lastH314 timeH314 it will not turnH1961 outH1961 the way it did beforeH7223. 30For shipsH6716 of 1718KittimH3794 will comeH935 against him; therefore he will withdrawH3512 inH3512 fearH3512 and will returnH7725 and curseH2194 the holyH6944 covenantH1285 and takeH6213 actionH6213; so he will comeH7725 backH7725 and payH995 attentionH995 to those who abandonH5800 the holyH6944 covenantH1285. 31ForcesH2220 from him will ariseH5975, 19desecrateH2490 the sanctuaryH4720 fortressH4581, and doH5493 awayH5493 withH5493 the regularH8548 sacrificeH8548. And they will setH5414 upH5414 the 20abominationH8251 21of desolationH8074. 32And by 22smoothH2514 words he will 23turnH2610 toH2610 godlessnessH2610 those who actH7561 wickedlyH7561 toward the covenantH1285, but the peopleH5971 who knowH3045 their GodH430 will be 24strongH2388 and takeH6213 actionH6213. 33And 2526those who haveH7919 insightH7919 among the peopleH5971 will giveH995 understandingH995 to the manyH7227; yet they will 27fallH3782 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 28joinH3867 with them in 29hypocrisyH2519. 35And someH4480 of 30those who haveH7919 insightH7919 will fallH3782, to 31refineH6884, 32purgeH1305, and 3334cleanseH3835 them untilH5704 the 35endH7093 timeH6256; becauseH3588 it is stillH5750 to come at the appointedH4150 timeH4150.

36“Then the kingH4428 will 36doH6213 as he pleasesH7522, and he will exaltH7311 himself and 37boastH1431 againstH5921 everyH3605 godH410 and will 38speakH1696 39dreadfulH6381 thingsH6381 againstH5921 the 40GodH410 of godsH410; and he will beH6743 successfulH6743 untilH5704 the 41indignationH2195 is finishedH3615, becauseH3588 that which is 42determinedH2782 will be doneH6213. 37And he will showH995 noH3808 regardH995 for the 43godsH430 of his fathersH1 or for the 44desireH2532 of womenH802, norH3808 will he showH995 regardH995 for anyH3605 other godH433; for he will boastH1431 againstH5921 them allH3605. 38But 45insteadH5921H3653 he will honorH3513 a godH433 of fortressesH4581, a godH433 whomH834 his fathersH1 did not knowH3045; he will honorH3513 him with goldH2091, silverH3701, preciousH3368 stonesH68, and treasuresH2536. 39And he will takeH6213 actionH6213 against the strongestH4581 of fortressesH4013 with the help of a foreignH5236 godH433; he will giveH7235 greatH7235 honorH3519 to 46those whoH834 acknowledgeH5234 him and will make them rulersH4910 over the manyH7227, and will parcelH2505 outH2505 landH127 for a priceH4242.

40“And at the 47endH7093 timeH6256 the 48kingH4428 of the SouthH5045 will wageH5055 warH5055 with him, and the 49kingH4428 of the NorthH6828 will 50stormH8175 againstH5921 him with chariotsH7393, horsemenH6571, and with manyH7227 shipsH591; and he will enterH935 countriesH776, 51overflowH7857 them, and passH5674 throughH5674. 41He will also enterH935 the 5253BeautifulH6643 LandH776, and manyH7227 countries will fallH3782; but theseH428 will be rescuedH4422 out of his handH3027: EdomH112, 54MoabH4124, and the foremostH7225 of the sonsH1121 of 55AmmonH5983. 42Then he will reachH7971 outH7971 with his handH3027 against other countriesH776, and the landH776 of EgyptH4714 will not escapeH1961H6413. 43But he will 56gainH4910 controlH4910 over the hiddenH4362 treasuresH4362 of goldH2091 and silverH3701, and over allH3605 the preciousH2536 thingsH2536 of EgyptH4714; and 57LibyansH3864 and 58EthiopiansH3569 will follow at his 59heelsH4703. 44But rumorsH8052 from the EastH4217 and from the NorthH6828 will terrifyH926 him, and he will goH3318 outH3318 with greatH1419 wrathH2534 to eliminateH8045 and 60annihilateH2763 manyH7227. 45And he will pitchH5193 the tentsH168 of his royalH643 pavilionH643 betweenH996 the seasH3220 and the beautifulH6643 61HolyH6944 MountainH2022; yet he will comeH935 to his endH7093, and noH369 oneH369 will helpH5826 him.
