* And I in the first year of Darius the Mede had my station to assist and to protect him . * And now will I tell thee the truth . Behold , there will stand up yet three kings of Persia : and the fourth will obtain far greater riches than all : and when he is strong through his riches will he stir up all , the kingdom of Javan . * And then will stand up a mighty king , who will rule with great dominion , and do according to his pleasure . * And when he shall have stood , his kingdom will be broken , and will be divided toward the four winds of the heavens , and not to his posterity , nor according to his dominion which he ruled ; for his kingdom will be torn asunder even for others beside those . * And the king of the south will become strong , yea , he who is one of his princes ; but will become strong against him , and will rule : a great dominion will his dominion be . * But at the end of years will they associate themselves together ; and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make a settlement of difficulties ; but she will not retain the power of the support ; neither will he stand , nor his support : but she will be given up with those that had brought her , and he that begat her , and he that strengthened her in those times . * But there will up a sprout of her roots in his place , and he will come to the army , and will enter into the stronghold of the king of the north , and will deal with them , and prevail : * And also their gods with their molten images , with their precious vessels of silver and of gold , will he carry into captivity to Egypt ; and he will stand off some years from the king of the north . * But this one will then enter the kingdom of the king of the south , and then return into his own land . * But his sons will commence a war , and assemble a multitude of great armies ; and one will certainly enter , and overflow , and pass along : then will he return , and make war again , even to his stronghold . * And the king of the south will be moved with bitter wrath , and go forth and fight with him , even with the king of the north : and he will set forth a great multitude ; but the multitude will be given up into his hand . * And the multitude will be lifted up , and his heart will become proud ; and he will cast down myriads ; but he will not be strengthened by it . * And the king of the north will return , and set forth a multitude greater than the former ; and at the end of the times , of years , will he certainly come with a great army and with much riches . * And in those times many will stand up against the king of the south : also the rebellious sons of thy people will lift themselves up to establish the vision ; but they will stumble . * And the king of the north will come , and cast up a mound , and capture the city defended by fortifications : and the arms of the south will not withstand , and as regardeth his chosen people , there will be no power to withstand . * But he that cometh against them will do according to his pleasure , and none will stand before him ; and he will place himself in the glorious land , which will be altogether in his hand . * He will also direct his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom , having professions of peace with him ; and thus will he do it : and he will give him the daughter of his wife to destroy it : but it will not stand , and it will not remain his . * And he will direct his face unto the isles , and capture many ; but a chieftain will cause to cease his reproach against him : without his giving back to him his own reproach . * Then will he direct his face toward the strong –holds of his own land ; but he will stumble and fall , and will no more be found . * And there will stand up in his place one who will cause the exactor to pass through the glorious of the kingdom ; but within a few days will he be broken , but not in anger , nor in battle . * And there will stand up in his place a despicable person , to whom they assigned not the honor of the kingdom ; but he will come in quietly , and lay hold of the kingdom by flatteries . * And the powers of the overflow will be swept away from before him , and will be broken : yea , so also the prince in covenant . * And from the time of his associating with him will he deal deceitfully ; and he will come up , and obtain the victory with a small number of people . * In quiet and into the fattest portion of the province will he enter ; and he will do what his fathers have not done , nor his fathers ’ fathers : the prey , and spoil , and riches will he divide freely to them , and against the strong –holds will he devise his plans , but only till a certain time . * And he will then stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army : and the king of the south will prepare himself for the war with an exceedingly great and mighty army ; but he will not stand ; for they will devise plans against him . * Yea , they that eat of his food will bring his downfall , and the army of the other will overflow ; and many will fall down slain . * And as for both these kings , their heart is bent on mischief , and at one table will they speak lies ; but it shall not prosper ; for the end is yet for the time appointed . * Then will he return into his land with great riches , and his heart will be against the holy covenant : and he will do it , and return to his own land . * At the time appointed will he return , and enter into the south ; but not as in the former will it be in the latter time . * For there will come against him the ships of Kittim ; and he will become faint –hearted , and return , and will rage against the holy covenant ; and he will do it : and he will return , and have an understanding with those that forsake the holy covenant . * And the army divisions will proceed from him , and they will defile the sanctuary , the fortress , and remove the continual sacrifice , and they will set up the desolating abomination . * And such as act wickedly against the covenant will he corrupt by flatteries ; but the people that do know their God will be strong , and deal . * And the intelligent among the people will impart understanding to many : yet they will stumble through the sword , and through flame , through captivity , and through being plundered for some time . * But in their stumbling will they be aided with a little help : but many will join themselves to them with deceptive flatteries . * And some of the intelligent will stumble , to make a purification among them , and to select and to cleanse them , until the time of the end ; because it is yet for the time appointed . * And the king will do according to his pleasure ; and he will exalt and magnify himself above every god , and against the God of gods will he speak incredible things , and he will prosper till the indignation be at an end ; for that which is determined will be accomplished . * And to the gods of his fathers will he pay no regard ; and to the desire of women , or to any god whatever will he not pay any regard ; for above all will he magnify himself . * But in his place he will pay honor to the god of the fortresses ; and to a god whom his fathers knew not will he pay honor with gold , and silver , and with precious stones , and costly things . * This will he do for the very strong fortresses together with the strange god : whoever will acknowledge him , him will he give much honor ; and he will cause such to rule over many , and he will divide out the land for a price . * And at the time of the end will the king of the south push against him ; and the king of the north will come against him like a storm –wind , with chariots , and with horsemen , and with many ships ; and he will enter into some countries , and will overflow and press along . * And he will enter into the glorious land , and much will be overthrown ; but these will escape out of his hand , even Edom , and Moab , and the first portion of the children of ‘Ammon . * And he will stretch forth his hand against some countries , and the land of Egypt will not escape . * And he will have control over the treasures of gold and of silver , and over all the costly things of Egypt : and the Libyans and the Ethiopians will follow at his steps . * But reports out of the east and out of the north will terrify him ; and he will go forth with great fury to destroy , and to exterminate many . * And he will pitch the tents of his palace between seas and the glorious holy mountain ; and he will come to his end , without one to help him .
