Daniel 11:11–19

11 “The aking of the South will be enraged and go forth and fight 1with the king of the North. Then the latter will raise a great multitude, but that multitude will be given into 2the hand of the former.

12 “When the multitude is carried away, his heart will be lifted up, and he will cause tens of thousands to fall; yet he will not prevail.

13 “For the king of the North will again raise a greater multitude than the former, and 1after an ainterval of some years he will 2press on with a great army and much equipment.

14 “Now in those times many will rise up against the king of the South; the violent ones among your people will also lift themselves up in order to fulfill the vision, but they will 1fall down.

15 “Then the king of the North will come, cast up a asiege ramp and capture a well-fortified city; and the forces of the South will not stand their ground, not even 1their choicest troops, for there will be no strength to make a stand.

16 “But he who comes against him will ado as he pleases, and bno one will be able to withstand him; he will also stay for a time in the 1cBeautiful Land, with destruction in his hand.

17 “He will aset his face to come with the power of his whole kingdom, 1bringing with him 2a proposal of peace which he will put into effect; he will also give him the daughter of women to ruin it. But she will not take a stand for him or be 3on his side.

18 “Then he will turn his face to the acoastlands and capture many. But a commander will put a stop to his scorn against him; moreover, he will brepay him for his scorn.

19 “So he will turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will astumble and fall and be bfound no more.
