Daniel 11
- 1Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.
- 2And now I will show you the truth. There shall stand up yet three kings in Persia. And the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
- 3And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great rule, and do according to his will.
- 4And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven. And not to his descendants, or according to his rule which he ruled. For his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.
- 5And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes. And he shall be strong above him, and have rule. His rule shall be a great rule.
- 6And in the end of years they shall join themselves together. For the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm. Neither shall he stand, or his arm: but she shall be given up, and those who brought her, and her father, and he who strengthened her in these times.
- 7But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall win:
- 8And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious objects of silver and of gold. And he shall continue more years than the king of the north.
- 9So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.
- 10But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a great number of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then he shall return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.
- 11And the king of the south shall be filled with rage, and shall come out and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall raise a great army. But that army shall be given into his hand.
- 12And when he has taken away the army, his heart shall be lifted up. And he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.
- 13For the king of the north shall return, and shall raise an army greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.
- 14And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of your people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision. But they shall fall.
- 15So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fortified cities: and the arms of the south shall not stand against, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to stand against.
- 16But he who comes against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.
- 17He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him. This is how he shall do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.
- 18After this shall he turn his face to the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall put an end to his insolence, and turn his insolence back on him.
- 19Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.
- 20Then shall stand up in his estate a tax collector in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, not in anger, or in battle.
- 21And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, the one they shall not give the honor of the kingdom to: but he shall come in peacefully, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
- 22And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken. Yes, also the prince of the covenant.
- 23And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully. For he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
- 24He shall enter peacefully even on the fattest places of the province. And he shall do that which his fathers have not done, or his fathers' fathers. He shall scatter among them the prey, and plunder, and riches: yes, and he shall forecast his devices against the strongholds, even for a time.
- 25And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army. And the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army. But he shall not stand. For they shall forecast devices against him.
- 26Yes, those who feed of the portion of his food shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down killed.
- 27And both of these kings' hearts shall be to do harm, and they shall speak lies at one table. But it shall not prosper. For yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
- 28Then he shall return into his land with great riches. And his heart shall be against the holy covenant. And he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
- 29At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south. But it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
- 30For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have anger against the holy covenant: so he shall do. He shall even return, and have intelligence with those who abandon the holy covenant.
- 31And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the disgusting thing that brings destruction.
- 32And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people who do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
- 33And those who understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by plunder, many days.
- 34Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall cling to them with flatteries.
- 35And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to cleanse, and to make them white, even to the time of the end. Because it is yet for a time appointed.
- 36And the king shall do according to his will. And he shall lift himself up, and make himself greater than every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the anger is accomplished. For that that is determined shall be done.
- 37Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, or the desire of women, or regard any god. For he shall make himself greater than all.
- 38But in his estate shall he honor the God of forces: and a god his fathers did not know shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
- 39This is how he shall do in the most strongholds with a foreign god, who he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
- 40And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships. And he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
- 41He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
- 42He shall stretch out his hand also on the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
- 43But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
- 44But news out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy, and completely to make away many.
- 45And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
