43 “But he will 1gain control over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and over all the precious things of Egypt; and aLibyans and bEthiopians will follow at his 2heels.

44 “But rumors from the East and from the North will disturb him, and he will go forth with great wrath to destroy and 1annihilate many.

45 “He will pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between the seas and the beautiful aHoly Mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.
