Context of Daniel 11:32

30The ships of Kittim will come against him, and he will lose heart. Then he will turn back and vent his rage against the holy covenant. When he returns, he will favor those who forsake the holy covenant. 31“His forces will rise up and profane the fortified Temple; they will stop the daily offering and set up the abomination of desolation. With smooth words he will seduce those who act wickedly against the covenant, but the people who know their God will stand strong and prevail. 33Those who are wise among the people will instruct many, though for many days they will fall by the sword, or be burned, captured or pillaged. 34When they stumble, they will receive a little help, but many will join them deceitfully.
