rsv@Daniel:11:36 @ "And the king shall do according to his will; he shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak astonishing things against the God of gods. He shall prosper till the indignation is accomplished; for what is determined shall be done.
rsv@Daniel:11:37 @ He shall give no heed to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women; he shall not give heed to any other god, for he shall magnify himself above all.
rsv@Daniel:11:38 @ He shall honor the god of fortresses instead of these; a god whom his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts.
rsv@Daniel:11:39 @ He shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god; those who acknowledge him he shall magnify with honor. He shall make them rulers over many and shall divide the land for a price.
rsv@Daniel:11:40 @ "At the time of the end the king of the south shall attack him; but the king of the north shall rush upon him like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall come into countries and shall overflow and pass through.
rsv@Daniel:11:41 @ He shall come into the glorious land. And tens of thousands shall fall, but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom and Moab and the main part of the Ammonites.
rsv@Daniel:11:42 @ He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
rsv@Daniel:11:43 @ He shall become ruler of the treasures of gold and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall follow in his train.
rsv@Daniel:11:44 @ But tidings from the east and the north shall alarm him, and he shall go forth with great fury to exterminate and utterly destroy many.
rsv@Daniel:11:45 @ And he shall pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, with none to help him.
