* And now will I declare unto thee the truth . Behold , there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia ; and the fourth shall enrich himself with great riches more than all ; and when he hath become strong through his riches , he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece . * And a mighty king shall stand up that shall rule with great dominion , and do according to his will . * And when he shall stand up , his kingdom shall be broken , and shall be divided toward the four winds of the heavens ; but not to his posterity , nor according to his dominion wherewith he ruled ; for his kingdom shall be plucked up , even for others beside these . * And the king of the south , who is one of his princes , shall be strong ; but [another ] shall be stronger than he , and have dominion : his dominion shall be a great dominion . * And after the course of years they shall join affinity ; and the king 's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make equitable conditions : but she shall not retain the strength of her arm ; neither shall he stand , nor his arm ; and she shall be given up , she and they that brought her , and he that begat her , and he that strengthened her in [those ] times . * But out of a shoot from her roots shall one stand up in his place , who shall come to the army , and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north , and shall deal against them , and shew himself mighty . * He shall also carry captive into Egypt their gods , with their princes , and their precious vessels of silver and of gold ; and he shall subsist for more years than the king of the north ; * and [the same ] shall come into the realm of the king of the south , but shall return into his own land . * And his sons shall be stirred up , and shall assemble a multitude of great forces ; and one shall certainly come , and overflow , and pass through ; and he shall return and carry the war even to his fortress . * And the king of the south shall be enraged , and shall come forth and fight with him , with the king of the north , who shall set forth a great multitude , but the multitude shall be given into his hand . * And when the multitude shall have been taken away , his heart shall be exalted ; and he shall cast down myriads ; but he shall not prevail . * For the king of the north shall return , and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former ; and shall certainly come at the end of the times of years with a great army and with much substance . * And in those times shall many stand up against the king of the south ; and the violent of thy people will exalt themselves to establish the vision ; but they shall fall . * And the king of the north shall come , and cast up a mound , and take the well-fenced city ; and the arms of the south shall not withstand , neither his chosen people , for there shall be no strength to withstand . * And he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will , and none shall stand before him ; and he shall stand in the land of beauty , and destruction shall be in his hand . * And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom , and upright ones with him ; and he shall practise ; and he shall give him the daughter of women , to corrupt her ; but she shall not stand , neither shall she be for him . * And he shall turn his face unto the isles , and shall take many ; but a captain for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease : he shall turn it upon him , without reproach for himself . * And he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land ; and he shall stumble and fall , and not be found . * And in his place shall one stand up who shall cause the exactor to pass through the glory of the kingdom ; but in a few days he shall be broken , neither in anger nor in battle . * And in his place 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 . * And the overflowing forces shall be overflowed from before him , and shall be broken : yea , also the prince of the covenant . * And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully , and he shall come up , and shall become strong with a small people . * In time of peace shall he enter even into 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 prey , and spoil , and substance , and he shall plan his devices against the fortified places , even for a time . * 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 engage in battle with an exceeding great and mighty army ; but he shall not stand , for they shall plan devices against him . * And they that eat of his delicate food shall break him , and his army shall be dissolved ; and many shall fall down slain . * And both these kings ' hearts [shall meditate ] mischief , and they shall speak lies at one table ; but it shall not prosper ; for yet the end shall be at the time appointed . * And he shall return into his land with great substance ; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant ; and he shall practise , and return to his own land . * At the set time he shall return , and come towards the south ; but not as the former time shall be the latter ; * for ships of Chittim shall come against him ; and he shall be grieved , and return , and have indignation against the holy covenant ; and will practise ; and he shall return and direct his attention to those that forsake the holy covenant . * And forces shall stand on his part , and they shall profane the sanctuary , the fortress , and shall take away the continual [sacrifice ], and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate . * And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries ; but the people that know their God shall be strong , and shall act . * And they that are wise among the people shall instruct the many ; and they shall fall by the sword , and by flame , by captivity , and by spoil , [many ] days . * And when they fall , they shall be helped with a little help ; but many shall cleave to them with flatteries . * And [some ] of the wise shall fall , to try them , and to purge and to make them white , to the time of the end : for it shall yet be for the time appointed .
