1 # Also I in the first <0259> year <08141> of Darius <01867> the Mede <04075>, even I, stood <05977> to confirm <02388> (8688) and to strengthen <04581> him.
2 And now will I shew <05046> (8686) thee the truth <0571>. Behold, there shall stand up <05975> (8802) yet three <07969> kings <04428> in Persia <06539>; and the fourth <07243> shall be far <06239> richer <06238> (8686) than they all <01419>: and by his strength <02393> through his riches <06239> he shall stir up <05782> (8686) all against the realm <04438> of Grecia <03120>.
3 And a mighty <01368> king <04428> shall stand up <05975> (8804), that shall rule <04910> (8804) with great <07227> dominion <04474>, and do <06213> (8804) according to his will <07522>.
4 And when he shall stand up <05975> (8800), his kingdom <04438> shall be broken <07665> (8735), and shall be divided <02673> (8735) toward the four <0702> winds <07307> of heaven <08064>; and not to his posterity <0319>, nor according to his dominion <04915> which he ruled <04910> (8804): for his kingdom <04438> shall be plucked up <05428> (8735), even for others <0312> beside those.
5 # And the king <04428> of the south <05045> shall be strong <02388> (8799), and one of his princes <08269> ; and he shall be strong <02388> (8799) above him, and have dominion <04910> (8804); his dominion <04475> shall be a great <07227> dominion <04474>.
6 And in the end <07093> of years <08141> they shall join themselves together <02266> (8691); for the king's <04428> daughter <01323> of the south <05045> shall come <0935> (8799) to the king <04428> of the north <06828> to make <06213> (8800) an agreement <04339>: but she shall not retain <06113> (8799) the power <03581> of the arm <02220>; neither shall he stand <05975> (8799), nor his arm <02220>: but she shall be given up <05414> (8735), and they that brought <0935> (8688) her, and he that begat <03205> (8802) her, and he that strengthened <02388> (8688) her in these times <06256>.
7 But out of a branch <05342> of her roots <08328> shall one stand up <05975> (8804) in his estate <03653> , which shall come <0935> (8799) with an army <02428>, and shall enter <0935> (8799) into the fortress <04581> of the king <04428> of the north <06828>, and shall deal <06213> (8804) against them, and shall prevail <02388> (8689):
8 And shall also carry <0935> (8686) captives <07628> into Egypt <04714> their gods <0430>, with their princes <05257>, and with their precious <02532> vessels <03627> of silver <03701> and of gold <02091>; and he shall continue <05975> (8799) more years <08141> than the king <04428> of the north <06828>.
9 So the king <04428> of the south <05045> shall come <0935> (8804) into his kingdom <04438>, and shall return <07725> (8804) into his own land <0127>.
10 But his sons <01121> shall be stirred up <01624> (8691), and shall assemble <0622> (8804) a multitude <01995> of great <07227> forces <02428>: and one shall certainly <0935> (8800) come <0935> (8804), and overflow <07857> (8804), and pass through <05674> (8804): then shall he return <07725> (8799), and be stirred up <01624> (8691), even to his fortress <04581>.
11 And the king <04428> of the south <05045> shall be moved with choler <04843> (8698), and shall come forth <03318> (8804) and fight <03898> (8738) with him, even with the king <04428> of the north <06828>: and he shall set forth <05975> (8689) a great <07227> multitude <01995>; but the multitude <01995> shall be given <05414> (8738) into his hand <03027>.
12 And when he hath taken away <05375> (8738) the multitude <01995>, his heart <03824> shall be lifted up <07311> (8804) (8675) <07311> (8799); and he shall cast down <05307> (8689) many ten thousands <07239>: but he shall not be strengthened <05810> (8799) by it.
13 For the king <04428> of the north <06828> shall return <07725> (8804), and shall set forth <05975> (8689) a multitude <01995> greater <07227> than the former <07223>, and shall certainly <0935> (8800) come <0935> (8799) after <07093> certain <06256> years <08141> with a great <01419> army <02428> and with much <07227> riches <07399> .
14 And in those times <06256> there shall many <07227> stand up <05975> (8799) against the king <04428> of the south <05045>: also the robbers <01121> <06530> of thy people <05971> shall exalt <05375> (8691) themselves to establish <05975> (8687) the vision <02377>; but they shall fall <03782> (8738).
15 So the king <04428> of the north <06828> shall come <0935> (8799), and cast up <08210> (8799) a mount <05550>, and take <03920> (8804) the most fenced <04013> cities <05892>: and the arms <02220> of the south <05045> shall not withstand <05975> (8799), neither his chosen <04005> people <05971>, neither shall there be any strength <03581> to withstand <05975> (8800).
16 But he that cometh <0935> (8802) against him shall do <06213> (8799) according to his own will <07522>, and none shall stand <05975> (8802) before <06440> him: and he shall stand <05975> (8799) in the glorious <06643> land <0776> , which by his hand <03027> shall be consumed <03617>.
17 He shall also set <07760> (8799) his face <06440> to enter <0935> (8800) with the strength <08633> of his whole kingdom <04438>, and upright ones <03477> with him; thus shall he do <06213> (8804): and he shall give <05414> (8799) him the daughter <01323> of women <0802>, corrupting <07843> (8687) her: but she shall not stand <05975> (8799) on his side, neither be for him.
18 After this shall he turn <07760> (8799) (8675) <07725> (8686) his face <06440> unto the isles <0339>, and shall take <03920> (8804) many <07227>: but a prince <07101> for his own behalf shall cause the reproach <02781> offered by him to cease <07673> (8689); without <01115> his own reproach <02781> he shall cause it to turn <07725> (8686) upon him.
19 Then he shall turn <07725> (8686) his face <06440> toward the fort <04581> of his own land <0776>: but he shall stumble <03782> (8738) and fall <05307> (8804), and not be found <04672> (8735).
20 Then shall stand up <05975> (8804) in his estate <03653> a raiser <05674> (8688) of taxes <05065> (8802) in the glory <01925> of the kingdom <04438>: but within few <0259> days <03117> he shall be destroyed <07665> (8735), neither in anger <0639>, nor in battle <04421>.
21 # And in his estate <03653> shall stand up <05975> (8804) a vile person <0959> (8737), to whom they shall not give <05414> (8804) the honour <01935> of the kingdom <04438>: but he shall come <0935> (8804) in peaceably <07962> , and obtain <02388> (8689) the kingdom <04438> by flatteries <02519>.
22 And with the arms <02220> of a flood <07858> shall they be overflown <07857> (8735) from before <06440> him, and shall be broken <07665> (8735); yea, also the prince <05057> of the covenant <01285>.
23 And after the league <02266> (8692) made with him he shall work <06213> (8799) deceitfully <04820>: for he shall come up <05927> (8804), and shall become strong <06105> (8804) with a small <04592> people <01471>.
24 He shall enter <0935> (8799) peaceably <07962> even upon the fattest places <04924> of the province <04082>; and he shall do <06213> (8804) that which his fathers <01> have not done <06213> (8804), nor his fathers <01>' fathers <01>; he shall scatter <0967> (8799) among them the prey <0961>, and spoil <07998>, and riches <07399>: yea, and he shall forecast <02803> (8762) his devices <04284> against the strong holds <04013>, even for a time <06256>.
25 And he shall stir up <05782> (8686) his power <03581> and his courage <03824> against the king <04428> of the south <05045> with a great <01419> army <02428>; and the king <04428> of the south <05045> shall be stirred up <01624> (8691) to battle <04421> with a very <03966> great <01419> and mighty <06099> army <02428>; but he shall not stand <05975> (8799): for they shall forecast <02803> (8799) devices <04284> against him.
26 Yea, they that feed <0398> (8802) of the portion of his meat <06598> shall destroy <07665> (8799) him, and his army <02428> shall overflow <07857> (8799): and many <07227> shall fall <05307> (8804) down slain <02491>.
27 And both <08147> these kings <04428>' hearts <03824> shall be to do mischief <04827> (8688) <07451> , and they shall speak <01696> (8762) lies <03577> at one <0259> table <07979>; but it shall not prosper <06743> (8799): for yet the end <07093> shall be at the time appointed <04150>.
28 Then shall he return <07725> (8804) into his land <0776> with great <01419> riches <07399>; and his heart <03824> shall be against the holy <06944> covenant <01285>; and he shall do <06213> (8804) exploits, and return <07725> (8799) to his own land <0776>.
29 At the time appointed <04150> he shall return <07725> (8799), and come <0935> (8804) toward the south <05045>; but it shall not be as the former <07223>, or as the latter <0314>.
30 For the ships <06716> of Chittim <03794> shall come <0935> (8804) against him: therefore he shall be grieved <03512> (8738), and return <07725> (8804), and have indignation <02194> (8804) against the holy <06944> covenant <01285> : so shall he do <06213> (8804); he shall even return <07725> (8804), and have intelligence <0995> (8799) with them that forsake <05800> (8802) the holy <06944> covenant <01285>.
31 And arms <02220> shall stand <05975> (8799) on his part, and they shall pollute <02490> (8765) the sanctuary <04720> of strength <04581>, and shall take away <05493> (8689) the daily <08548> sacrifice, and they shall place <05414> (8804) the abomination <08251> that maketh desolate <08074> (8789).
32 And such as do wickedly <07561> (8688) against the covenant <01285> shall he corrupt <02610> (8686) by flatteries <02514>: but the people <05971> that do know <03045> (8802) their God <0430> shall be strong <02388> (8686), and do <06213> (8804) exploits.
33 And they that understand <07919> (8688) among the people <05971> shall instruct <0995> (8799) many <07227> : yet they shall fall <03782> (8738) by the sword <02719>, and by flame <03852>, by captivity <07628>, and by spoil <0961> , many days <03117>.
34 Now when they shall fall <03782> (8736), they shall be holpen <05826> (8735) with a little <04592> help <05828>: but many <07227> shall cleave <03867> (8738) to them with flatteries <02519>.
35 And some of them of understanding <07919> (8688) shall fall <03782> (8735), to try <06884> (8800) them, and to purge <01305> (8763), and to make them white <03835> (8687), even to the time <06256> of the end <07093>: because it is yet for a time appointed <04150>.
36 And the king <04428> shall do <06213> (8804) according to his will <07522>; and he shall exalt <07311> (8709) himself, and magnify <01431> (8691) himself above every god <0410>, and shall speak <01696> (8762) marvellous things <06381> (8737) against the God <0410> of gods <0410>, and shall prosper <06743> (8689) till the indignation <02195> be accomplished <03615> (8804): for that that is determined <02782> (8737) shall be done <06213> (8738).
37 Neither shall he regard <0995> (8799) the God <0430> of his fathers <01>, nor the desire <02532> of women <0802>, nor regard <0995> (8799) any god <0433>: for he shall magnify <01431> (8691) himself above all.
38 But in his estate <03653> shall he honour <03513> (8762) the God <0433> of forces <04581>: and a god <0433> whom his fathers <01> knew <03045> (8804) not shall he honour <03513> (8762) with gold <02091>, and silver <03701> , and with precious <03368> stones <068>, and pleasant things <02532>.
39 Thus shall he do <06213> (8804) in the most strong <04581> holds <04013> with a strange <05236> god <0433> , whom he shall acknowledge <05234> (8686) (8675) <05234> (8689) and increase <07235> (8686) with glory <03519>: and he shall cause them to rule <04910> (8689) over many <07227>, and shall divide <02505> (8762) the land <0127> for gain <04242>.
40 And at the time <06256> of the end <07093> shall the king <04428> of the south <05045> push <05055> (8691) at him: and the king <04428> of the north <06828> shall come against him like a whirlwind <08175> (8691), with chariots <07393> , and with horsemen <06571>, and with many <07227> ships <0591>; and he shall enter <0935> (8804) into the countries <0776>, and shall overflow <07857> (8804) and pass over <05674> (8804).
41 He shall enter <0935> (8804) also into the glorious <06643> land <0776>, and many <07227> countries shall be overthrown <03782> (8735): but these shall escape <04422> (8735) out of his hand <03027>, even Edom <0123>, and Moab <04124>, and the chief <07225> of the children <01121> of Ammon <05983>.
42 He shall stretch forth <07971> (8799) his hand <03027> also upon the countries <0776>: and the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> shall not escape <06413>.
43 But he shall have power <04910> (8804) over the treasures <04362> of gold <02091> and of silver <03701>, and over all the precious <02532> things of Egypt <04714>: and the Libyans <03864> and the Ethiopians <03569> shall be at his steps <04703> .
44 But tidings <08052> out of the east <04217> and out of the north <06828> shall trouble <0926> (8762) him: therefore he shall go forth <03318> (8804) with great <01419> fury <02534> to destroy <08045> (8687), and utterly to make away <02763> (8687) many <07227>.
45 And he shall plant <05193> (8799) the tabernacles <0168> of his palace <0643> between the seas <03220> in the glorious <06643> holy <06944> mountain <02022>; yet he shall come <0935> (8804) to his end <07093>, and none shall help <05826> (8802) him.
