Daniel 11:36–45

³⁶“Then the king will do whatever he wants. ^xHe will exalt and magnify himself above every god, ^yand he will say outrageous things against the God of gods. ^zHe will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, ^abecause what has been decreed will be accomplished. ³⁷He will not show regard for the gods ^bof his fathers, the god longed for by women, or for any other god, ^cbecause he will magnify himself above all. ³⁸Instead, he will honor a god of fortresses—a god his fathers did not know—with gold, silver, precious stones, and riches. ³⁹He will deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. He will greatly honor those who acknowledge him, ^dmaking them rulers over many and distributing land as a reward.

⁴⁰“At the time of the end, the king of the South will engage him in battle, but the king of the North will storm against him ^ewith chariots, horsemen, and many ships. He will invade countries and sweep through them like a flood. ^f41He will also invade the beautiful land, ^gand many will fall. But these will escape from his power: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people ^hof the Ammonites. ⁱ⁴²He will extend his power against the countries, and not even the land of Egypt will escape. ⁴³He will get control over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and over all the riches of Egypt. The Libyans and Cushites will also be in submission. ^jk44But reports from the east ^land the north will terrify him, and he will go out with great fury to annihilate and completely destroy many. ⁴⁵He will pitch his royal tents between the sea and ^mthe beautiful holy mountain, ⁿbut he will meet his end with no one to help him.
