Daniel 11:21–35

²¹And there shall stand up in his place one despised, and the kingly honour shall not be given him: and he shall come privately, and shall obtain the kingdom by fraud.

²²And the arms of the fighter shall be overcome before his face, and shall be broken: yea, also the prince of the covenant.

²³And after friendships, he will deal deceitfully with him: and he shall go up, and shall overcome with a small people.

²⁴And he shall enter into rich and plentiful cities: and he shall do that which his fathers never did, nor his fathers’ fathers: he shall scatter their spoils, and their prey, and their riches, and shall forecast devices against the best fenced places: and this until a time.

²⁵And his strength, and his heart, shall be stirred up against the king of the south, with a great army: and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with many and very strong succours: and they shall not stand, for they shall form designs against him.

²⁶And they that eat bread with him, shall destroy him, and his army shall be overthrown: and many shall fall down slain.

²⁷And the heart of the two kings shall be to do evil, and they shall speak lies at one table, and they shall not prosper: because as yet the end is unto another time.

²⁸And he shall return into his land with much riches: and his heart shall be against the holy covenant, and he shall succeed, and shall return into his own land.

²⁹At the time appointed he shall return, and he shall come to the south, but the latter time shall not be like the former.

³⁰And the galleys and the Romans shall come upon him, and he shall be struck, and shall return, and shall have indignation against the covenant of the sanctuary, and he shall succeed: and he shall return, and shall devise against them that have forsaken the covenant of the sanctuary.

³¹And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall defile the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the continual sacrifice: and they shall place there the abomination unto desolation.

³²And such as deal wickedly against the covenant shall deceitfully dissemble: but the people that know their God shall prevail and succeed.

³³And they that are learned among the people shall teach many: and they shall fall by the sword, and by fire, and by captivity, and by spoil for many days.

³⁴And when they shall have fallen, they shall be relieved with a small help: and many shall be joined to them deceitfully.

³⁵And some of the learned shall fall, that they may be tried, and may be chosen, and made white, even to the appointed time: because yet there shall be another time.
