Daniel 11:15–20

¹⁵Then the king of the north shall come and throw up siegeworks and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not stand, not even his picked troops, for there shall be no strength to resist.^{* 16}But he who comes against him shall take the actions he pleases, and no one shall withstand him. He shall take a position in the beautiful land, and all of it shall be in his power.^{* 17}He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom. He shall make peace with him and shall give him a woman in marriage, in order to destroy the kingdom,^l but it shall not succeed or be to his advantage.^{* 18}Afterward he shall turn to the coastlands and shall capture many, but a commander shall put an end to his insolence; indeed,^m he shall turn his insolence back upon him.^{* 19}Then he shall turn back toward the fortresses of his own land, but he shall stumble and fall and shall not be found.^*

²⁰“Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an official for the glory of the kingdom, but within a few days he shall be broken, though not in anger or in battle.^n*
