Daniel 11:2-20
2And nowH6258 will I shew thee the truthH571. BeholdH2009, there shall standH5975 upH5975 yet threeH7969 kingsH4428 in PersiaH6539; and the fourthH7243 shall be farH1419 richer thanH4428 they allH3605: and when he is waxed strongH2393 throughH3605 his richesH6239, he shall stirH5782 upH5975 allH3605 againstH5046 the realmH4438 of GreeceH3120.
3And a mightyH1368 kingH4428 shall standH5975 upH5975, that shall ruleH4910 with greatH7227 dominionH4910, and doH6213 according to his will.
4And when he shall standH5975 upH5975, his kingdomH4438 shall be brokenH7665, and shall be dividedH2673 toward the fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064; but notH3808 to his posterityH319, norH3808 according to his dominionH4910 wherewith he ruledH4910; for his kingdomH4438 shall be pluckedH5428 upH5975, evenH3588 for othersH312 beside theseH428.
5And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be strongH2388, and one of his princesH8269; and he shall be strongH2388 aboveH5921 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 sheH1931 shall notH3808 retainH6113 the strengthH2220 of herH413 armH2220; neitherH3808 shall he standH5975, norH3808 his armH2220; but sheH1931 shall be givenH5414 upH5975, and they that broughtH935 herH413, and he that begat herH413, and he that strengthenedH2388 herH413 in thoseH2388 timesH6256.
7But outH2388 of a shoot from herH413 rootsH8328 shall one standH5975 upH5975 in his placeH935, which shall comeH935 unto the armyH2428, and shall enterH935 intoH413 the fortressH4581 of the kingH4428 of the northH6828, and shall dealH6213 againstH413 them, and shall prevailH5975:
8And also their godsH430, with their molten images, and with their goodly vesselsH3627 of silverH3701 and of goldH2091, shall he carryH935 captive intoH935 EgyptH4714; and he shall refrainH5975 some yearsH8141 from the kingH4428 of the northH6828.
9And he shall comeH935 intoH413 the realmH4438 of the kingH4428 of the southH5045, but he shall returnH7725 intoH413 his own landH127.
10And his sonsH1121 shall warH1624, and shall assembleH622 a multitudeH1995 of greatH7227 forcesH2428 which shall comeH935 on, and overflowH7857, and passH5674 throughH5674: and they shall returnH7725 and warH1624, evenH5704 to his fortressH4581.
11And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be movedH3318 with choler, 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 intoH3027 his handH3027.
12And the multitudeH1995 shall be liftedH5375 upH5375, and his heartH3824 shall be exaltedH7311: and he shall castH5307 downH5307 tensH7239 of thousandsH7239, but he shall notH3808 prevailH5810.
13And the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall returnH7725, and shall setH5975 forth a multitudeH1995 greaterH1419 thanH4480 the formerH7223; and he shall comeH935 on at the endH7093 of the timesH6256, even of yearsH8141, with a greatH1419 armyH2428 and with muchH7227 substanceH2428.
14And in thoseH1992 timesH6256 there shall manyH7227 standH5975 upH5375 againstH5921 the kingH4428 of the southH5045: also the childrenH1121 of the violentH6530 among thy peopleH5971 shall liftH5375 themselvesH1992 upH5375 to establishH5975 the visionH2377; but they shall fallH3782.
15SoH3808 the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall comeH935, and castH8210 upH5975 a mount, and takeH3920 a well fenced cityH5892: and the armsH2220 of the southH5045 shall notH3808 withstandH5975, neitherH3808 his chosen peopleH5971, neitherH3808 shall there be anyH369 strengthH2220 to withstandH5975.
16But he that cometh againstH413 him shall doH6213 accordingH413 to his ownH6440 will, and noneH369 shall standH5975 beforeH6440 him: and he shall standH5975 in the glorious landH776, and in his handH3027 shall be destructionH3615.
17And he shall setH7760 his faceH6440 to comeH935 with the strength of his wholeH3605 kingdomH4438, and uprightH3477 onesH5975 with him; and he shall doH6213 his pleasure: and he shall giveH5414 him the daughterH1323 of womenH802, to corruptH7843 herH3605; but sheH3808 shall notH3808 standH5975, neitherH3808 be for him.
18After this shall he turnH7725 his faceH6440 unto the islesH339, and shall takeH7725 manyH7227: but a prince shall causeH7725 the reproachH2781 offered by him to ceaseH7673; yea, moreoverH1115, he shall causeH7725 his reproachH2781 to turnH7725 upon him.
19Then he shall turnH7725 his faceH6440 towardH6440 the fortressesH4581 of his ownH6440 landH776: but he shall stumbleH3782 and fallH5307, and shall notH3808 be foundH4672.
20Then shall standH5975 upH5975 in his placeH5975 one that shall cause an exactor to passH5674 throughH5674 the glory of the kingdomH4438: but withinH5921 fewH259 daysH3117 he shall be destroyed, neitherH3808 in angerH639, norH3808 in battleH4421.
