Daniel 11:21–35

²¹And ^||in his estate ^fshall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in ^gpeaceably, and obtain the kingdom ^hby flatteries. ²²And with the arms of ⁱa flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also ^jthe prince of ^kthe covenant. ²³And after the league made with him ^*lhe shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong ^fwith a small people. ²⁴He shall enter ^||gpeaceably even upon ^mthe fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; ⁿhe shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall ^†forecast his devices against ^othe strong holds, even for a time. ^25†And he shall stir up his power and his courage ^pagainst the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south ^qshall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; ^rbut he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him. ²⁶Yea, they that feed of ^sthe portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army ⁱshall overflow: and ^rmany shall fall down slain. ²⁷And both these kings’ ^†hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: ^tfor yet the end shall be at the time appointed. ²⁸Then shall he return into his land ^uwith great riches; and ^vhis heart shall be against ^wthe holy covenant; ^xand he shall do exploits, and return to his own land. ^29*tAt the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be ^yas the former, or as the latter. ^30†For the ^zships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation ^vagainst ^wthe holy covenant: ^xso shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with ^athem that forsake ^wthe holy covenant. ³¹And arms shall stand on his part, and ^bthey shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and ^cshall take away the daily sacrifice, and ^dthey shall place the abomination that ^||maketh desolate. ³²And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he ^||ecorrupt ^fby flatteries: but the people that do know their God ^gshall be strong, and do exploits. ³³And ^hthey that understand among the people shall instruct many: ⁱyet they shall ^kfall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. ³⁴Now when they ^kshall fall, they shall be ^lholpen ^mwith a little help: but many shall cleave to them ⁿwith flatteries. ³⁵And some of ^hthem of understanding ^kshall fall, ^oto try ^||them, and ^opto purge, and ^oqto make them white, even to ^rthe time of the end: ^sbecause it is yet for a time appointed.
