Daniel 11:6–15

⁶“After some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the South will come to the ^aking of the North to carry out ¹a peaceful arrangement. But she will not retain her ²position of power, nor will he remain with his ³power, but she will be given up, along with those who brought her in and the one who sired her as well as he who supported her in those times.

⁷“But one of the ¹descendants of her line will arise in his place, and he will come against their army and enter the ^afortress of the king of the North, and he will deal with them and display great strength.

⁸“Also their ^agods with their ¹metal images and their precious vessels of silver and gold he will take into captivity to Egypt, and he on his part will ²refrain from attacking the king of the North for some years.

⁹“Then ¹the latter will enter the realm of the king of the South, but will return to his own land.

¹⁰“His sons will ¹mobilize and assemble a multitude of great forces; and one of them will keep on coming and ^aoverflow and pass through, that he may ²again wage war up to his very fortress.

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.
