Daniel 11:36–45

³⁶“Then the king will do as he pleases,^j and he will exalt himself and will consider himself above any god, and he will speak horrendous things against^k the God of gods, yet he will succeed until the period of anger is finished, for what is determined will be done. ³⁷He will not pay respect to the gods of his ancestors,^l or to the darling of women, and not to any god will he pay respect, for he will consider himself great over all gods. ³⁸But instead^m he will honor the god of fortresses, a god whom his ancestorsⁿ did not know. He will honor him with gold, and with silver, and with precious stones^o and with costly gifts. ³⁹And he will deal with the fortified strongholds^p with the help of a foreign god;^q and he will increase wealth for whoever will acknowledge him, and he will cause them to rule^r over the many, and he will distribute land for a price.

⁴⁰“And at the time of the end the king of the south will attack him, and the king of the north will storm against him with chariots^s and with horsemen and with many ships, and he will advance against the countries and he will sweep through like a flood.^{t 41}And he will come into the beautiful land^u and many will fall victim, but these will escape from his power: Edom and Moab and the best part^v of the Ammonites.^{w 42}And he will stretch out his hand against countries and the land of Egypt will not escape.^{x 43}And he will rule over the treasures of gold and the silver and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Cushites will follow in his footsteps. ⁴⁴But reports will terrify him from the east and from the north, and he will go out with great fury to destroy and to exterminate many. ⁴⁵And then he will pitch the tents of his palace between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain,^y and he will come to his end, and there is no one^z helping him.”
