* And I , in the first year of Darius the Mede , I was standing for a supporter and for a fortress for him . * And now I will declare the truth to you : Behold ! Three kings shall stand up in Persia ; and the fourth shall be rich in all greater riches . And when he is powerful through his riches , he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece . * And a mighty king shall stand up and shall rule with great authority and do according to his will . * And when he stands up his kingdom shall be broken and shall be divided to the four winds of the heavens , and not to his posterity , nor according to his authority with which he ruled . For his kingdom shall be pulled up and given to others besides these . * And the king of the south shall be strong . And one of his rulers , even he will be strong on him , and he will rule . His rule shall be a great rule . * And at the end of the years they shall join together , and the king of the south 's daughter shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement . But she shall not keep the power of the arm . And he will not stand , nor his arm . But she and those who brought her shall be given up , also her begetter and her supporter in these times . * But the shoots of her roots will stand in his place , and he shall come to the army and will enter into the fortress of the king of the north . And he will act against them and will show strength . * And he will also bring their gods with their casted images , with silver and gold vessels of their possessions , into exile to Egypt . And for years he will stand away from the king of the north . * And the king of the south will come into his kingdom and will return to his own land . * But his sons shall be stirred up and shall gather a multitude of great forces . And one certainly shall come and overflow and pass through . And he will return to his fortress and be stirred up . * And the king of the south will be bitter and will go out and fight with him , with the king of the north . And he shall raise a great multitude , but the multitude shall be given into his hand . * And having carried away the host , his heart will be lifted up . And he will cause myriads to fall , but he shall not be strong . * For the king of the north shall return and raise a greater host than the former . And at the end of times , years , certainly he shall come with a great army and with much equipment . * And in those times many shall stand up against the king of the south . And the sons of the violent ones of your people shall rise up to establish the vision , but they shall stumble . * And the king of the north shall come and pour out a siege mound and seize a fortified city . And the arms of the south shall not stand , nor his choice people , for there will be no firmness to stand . * But he who comes against him will do as he desires , and none shall stand before him . And he shall stand in the glorious land , and destruction shall be in his hand . * And he shall set his face to go in with the might of all his kingdom , and upright ones with him ; so he shall do . And he shall give the daughter of women to him , to destroy it . But she shall not stand , nor be for him . * And he shall turn his face to the coastlands and shall capture many . But a ruler shall make cease his reproach for him , but his reproach shall return to him . * And he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land , but he will stumble and fall and shall not be found . * And one who sends a tax exacter shall stand in his place , for the glory of the kingdom . But within a few days he will be broken , but not in anger and not in battle . * And a despised one shall stand up on his place , and they shall not give to him the honor of the king . But he shall come in while at ease and take the kingdom by intrigues . * And the forces of the overflow shall be swept from before his face , and they will be broken , and also the ruler of a covenant . * And after they join themselves to him , he will practice deceit ; for he shall come and shall be strong with a few people . * He will go in safely , even into the rich places of the province . And he shall do what his fathers have not done , nor his fathers ' fathers . He shall plunder and spoil and scatter goods among them . And he shall devise his plots against the strongholds , even for a time . * And he will stir up his power and his heart against the king of the south with a great army . And the king of the south will be stirred up to battle with a great and very mighty army . But he shall not stand , for they will devise plots against him . * Yea , those who eat his food shall destroy him , and his army shall overflow . And many will fall down slain . * And both of them , the kings , shall have in their hearts to do evil , and they will speak lies at one table . But it will not prosper , for the end still shall be at the appointed time . * And he will return to his land with great wealth . And his heart shall be against the holy covenant . And he will act , and he shall return to his land . * At the appointed time he will return and come against the south . But it will not be as the former or as the latter . * For the Kittim ships will come against him . And he will be grieved and turn back and be furious against the holy covenant . And he will act , and he will return and heed the forsakers of the holy covenant . * And forces will stand away from him , and they will profane the sanctuary , the fortress . And they shall remove the regular sacrifice , and they will place the abomination that desolates . * And he will defile by flatteries those who do evil against the covenant . But the people who know their God will be strong and will work . * And those who understand among the people will instruct many , yet they will stumble by the sword and by flame , by exile and spoil for days . * And when they shall stumble , they will be helped with a little help . But many will join them with hypocrisy . * And many of those who understand shall stumble , to refine and to purge them , and to make white to the time of the end . For it is yet for the appointed time . * And the king shall do according to his will . And he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god ; he shall even speak marvelous things against the God of gods and shall prosper until the fury is fulfilled . For that which is decreed shall be done . * He shall not regard the God of his fathers , nor the desire of women ; yea , he will not come to any god . For he shall magnify himself above all . * But in his place he shall honor the god of forces , and he shall honor a god whom his fathers did not know , with gold and silver and with precious stones , and desirable things . * And he shall act in the strongholds of the fortresses with a foreign god , whom he shall acknowledge . He shall multiply in glory , and he shall cause them to rule over many and shall divide the land for a price . * And at the end time , the king of the south will engage in butting with him . And the king of the north shall come against him like a tempest , with chariots and with horsemen and with many ships . And he shall go into the lands and shall overflow and pass over . * And he shall enter into the glorious land , and many will be stumbled . But these shall escape out of his hand : Edom and Moab , and the chief of the sons of Ammon . * And his hand will stretch out against the lands , and the land of Egypt shall not escape . * But he will rule over the treasures of gold and silver , and over all Egypt 's desirable things . And the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps . * But news shall trouble him from the east and from the north . And he will go out with great fury to destroy and to devote many to destruction . * And he shall plant his palace tents between the seas , in the glorious holy mountain . Yet he shall come to his end , and there is not a helper for him .
