Daniel 11 11:1 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede , [even] I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him. 11:2 And now will I shew thee the truth . Behold , 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 . 11:3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion , and do according to his will . 11:4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken , and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven ; and not to his posterity , nor according to his dominion which he ruled : for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those . 11:5 And the king of the south shall be strong , and [one] of his princes ; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion ; his dominion [shall be] a great dominion . 11:6 And 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 , nor his arm : but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in [these] times . 11:7 But 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 prevail : 11:8 And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods , with their princes , [and] with their precious vessels of silver and of gold ; and he shall continue [more] years than the king of the north . 11:9 So the king of the south shall come into [his] kingdom , and shall return into his own land . 11:10 But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces : and [one] shall certainly come , and overflow , and pass through: then shall he return , and be stirred up, [even] to his fortress . 11:11 And the king of the south shall be moved with choler , and shall come forth and fight with him, [even] with the king of the north : and he shall set forth a great multitude ; but the multitude shall be given into his hand . 11:12 [And] when he hath taken away the multitude , his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down [many] ten thousands : but he shall not be strengthened [by it]. 11:13 For the king of the north shall return , and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former , and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches . 11:14 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south : also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision ; but they shall fall . 11:15 So the king of the north shall come , and cast up a mount , and take the most fenced cities : and the arms of the south shall not withstand , neither his chosen people , neither [shall there be any] strength to withstand . 11:16 But he that cometh 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 . 11:17 He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom , and upright ones with him; thus shall he do : and he shall give him the daughter of women , corrupting her: but she shall not stand [on his side], neither be for him. 11:18 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles , and shall take many : but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease ; without his own reproach he shall cause [it] to turn upon him. 11:19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land : but he shall stumble and fall , and not be found . 11:20 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes [in] the glory of the kingdom : but within few days he shall be destroyed , neither in anger , nor in battle . 11:21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom : but he shall come in peaceably , and obtain the kingdom by flatteries . 11:22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken ; yea , also the prince of the covenant . 11:23 And after the league [made] with him he shall work deceitfully : for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people . 11:24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province ; and he shall do [that] which his fathers have not done , nor his fathers ' fathers ; he shall scatter among them the prey , and spoil , and riches : [yea], and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds , even for a time . 11:25 And 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. 11:26 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow : and many shall fall down slain . 11:27 And both these kings ' hearts [shall be] to do mischief , and they shall speak lies at one table ; but it shall not prosper : for yet the end [shall be] at the time appointed . 11:28 Then shall he 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 . 11:29 At the time appointed he shall return , and come toward the south ; but it shall not be as the former , or as the latter . 11:30 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved , and return , and have indignation against the holy covenant : so shall he do ; he shall even return , and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant . 11:31 And 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 abomination that maketh desolate . 11:32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries : but the people that do know their God shall be strong , and do [exploits]. 11:33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many : yet they shall fall by the sword , and by flame , by captivity , and by spoil , [many] days . 11:34 Now when they shall fall , they shall be holpen with a little help : but many shall cleave to them with flatteries . 11:35 And [some] of them of understanding shall fall , to try them, and to purge , and to make [them] white , [even] to the time of the end : because [it is] yet for a time appointed . 11:36 And the king shall do according to his will ; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god , and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods , and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished : for that that is determined shall be done . 11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers , nor the desire of women , nor regard any god : for he shall magnify himself above all . 11:38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces : and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold , and silver , and with precious stones , and pleasant things. 11:39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god , whom he shall acknowledge [and] increase with glory : and he shall cause them to rule over many , and shall divide the land for gain . 11:40 And 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 . 11:41 He 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 . 11:42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries : and the land of Egypt shall not escape . 11:43 But 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 . 11:44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy , and utterly to make away many . 11:45 And 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.  ~~~~~~
