Daniel 11:15–20

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.

²⁰“Then in his place one will arise who will ^asend an ¹oppressor through the ²Jewel of his kingdom; yet within a few days he will be shattered, though not in anger nor in battle.
