11:1 "And
as
for
me,
in
the
first
year
of
Darius
the
Mede,
I
stood
up
to
confirm
and
strengthen
him.
11:2 "And
now
I
will
show
you
the
truth.
Behold,
three
more
kings
shall
arise
in
Persia,
and
a
fourth
shall
be
far
richer
than
all
of
them.
And
when
he
has
become
strong
through
his
riches,
he
shall
stir
up
all
against
the
kingdom
of
Greece.
11:3 Then
a
mighty
king
shall
arise,
who
shall
rule
with
great
dominion
and
do
as
he
wills.
11:4 And
as
soon
as
he
has
arisen,
his
kingdom
shall
be
broken
and
divided
toward
the
four
winds
of
heaven,
but
not
to
his
posterity,
nor
according
to
the
authority
with
which
he
ruled,
for
his
kingdom
shall
be
plucked
up
and
go
to
others
besides
these.
11:5 "Then
the
king
of
the
south
shall
be
strong,
but
one
of
his
princes
shall
be
stronger
than
he
and
shall
rule,
and
his
authority
shall
be
a
great
authority.
11:6 After
some
years
they
shall
make
an
alliance,
and
the
daughter
of
the
king
of
the
south
shall
come
to
the
king
of
the
north
to
make
an
agreement.
But
she
shall
not
retain
the
strength
of
her
arm,
and
he
and
his
arm
shall
not
endure,
but
she
shall
be
given
up,
and
her
attendants,
he
who
fathered
her,
and
he
who
supported
her
in
those
times.
11:7 "And
from
a
branch
from
her
roots
one
shall
arise
in
his
place.
He
shall
come
against
the
army
and
enter
the
fortress
of
the
king
of
the
north,
and
he
shall
deal
with
them
and
shall
prevail.
11:8 He
shall
also
carry
off
to
Egypt
their
gods
with
their
metal
images
and
their
precious
vessels
of
silver
and
gold,
and
for
some
years
he
shall
refrain
from
attacking
the
king
of
the
north.
11:9 Then
the
latter
shall
come
into
the
realm
of
the
king
of
the
south
but
shall
return
to
his
own
land.
11:10 "His
sons
shall
wage
war
and
assemble
a
multitude
of
great
forces,
which
shall
keep
coming
and
overflow
and
pass
through,
and
again
shall
carry
the
war
as
far
as
his
fortress.
11:11 Then
the
king
of
the
south,
moved
with
rage,
shall
come
out
and
fight
against
the
king
of
the
north.
And
he
shall
raise
a
great
multitude,
but
it
shall
be
given
into
his
hand.
11:12 And
when
the
multitude
is
taken
away,
his
heart
shall
be
exalted,
and
he
shall
cast
down
tens
of
thousands,
but
he
shall
not
prevail.
11:13 For
the
king
of
the
north
shall
again
raise
a
multitude,
greater
than
the
first.
And
after
some
years
he
shall
come
on
with
a
great
army
and
abundant
supplies.
11:14 "In
those
times
many
shall
rise
against
the
king
of
the
south,
and
the
violent
among
your
own
people
shall
lift
themselves
up
in
order
to
fulfill
the
vision,
but
they
shall
fail.
11:15 Then
the
king
of
the
north
shall
come
and
throw
up
siegeworks
and
take
a
well-fortified
city.
And
the
forces
of
the
south
shall
not
stand,
or
even
his
best
troops,
for
there
shall
be
no
strength
to
stand.
11:16 But
he
who
comes
against
him
shall
do
as
he
wills,
and
none
shall
stand
before
him.
And
he
shall
stand
in
the
glorious
land,
with
destruction
in
his
hand.
11:17 He
shall
set
his
face
to
come
with
the
strength
of
his
whole
kingdom,
and
he
shall
bring
terms
of
an
agreement
and
perform
them.
He
shall
give
him
the
daughter
of
women
to
destroy
the
kingdom,
but
it
shall
not
stand
or
be
to
his
advantage.
11:18 Afterward
he
shall
turn
his
face
to
the
coastlands
and
shall
capture
many
of
them,
but
a
commander
shall
put
an
end
to
his
insolence.
Indeed,
he
shall
turn
his
insolence
back
upon
him.
11:19 Then
he
shall
turn
his
face
back
toward
the
fortresses
of
his
own
land,
but
he
shall
stumble
and
fall,
and
shall
not
be
found.
11:20 "Then
shall
arise
in
his
place
one
who
shall
send
an
exactor
of
tribute
for
the
glory
of
the
kingdom.
But
within
a
few
days
he
shall
be
broken,
neither
in
anger
nor
in
battle.
11:21 In
his
place
shall
arise
a
contemptible
person
to
whom
royal
majesty
has
not
been
given.
He
shall
come
in
without
warning
and
obtain
the
kingdom
by
flatteries.
11:22 Armies
shall
be
utterly
swept
away
before
him
and
broken,
even
the
prince
of
the
covenant.
11:23 And
from
the
time
that
an
alliance
is
made
with
him
he
shall
act
deceitfully,
and
he
shall
become
strong
with
a
small
people.
11:24 Without
warning
he
shall
come
into
the
richest
parts
of
the
province,
and
he
shall
do
what
neither
his
fathers
nor
his
fathers'
fathers
have
done,
scattering
among
them
plunder,
spoil,
and
goods.
He
shall
devise
plans
against
strongholds,
but
only
for
a
time.
11:25 And
he
shall
stir
up
his
power
and
his
heart
against
the
king
of
the
south
with
a
great
army.
And
the
king
of
the
south
shall
wage
war
with
an
exceedingly
great
and
mighty
army,
but
he
shall
not
stand,
for
plots
shall
be
devised
against
him.
11:26 Even
those
who
eat
his
food
shall
break
him.
His
army
shall
be
swept
away,
and
many
shall
fall
down
slain.
11:27 And
as
for
the
two
kings,
their
hearts
shall
be
bent
on
doing
evil.
They
shall
speak
lies
at
the
same
table,
but
to
no
avail,
for
the
end
is
yet
to
be
at
the
time
appointed.
11:28 And
he
shall
return
to
his
land
with
great
wealth,
but
his
heart
shall
be
set
against
the
holy
covenant.
And
he
shall
work
his
will
and
return
to
his
own
land.
11:29 "At
the
time
appointed
he
shall
return
and
come
into
the
south,
but
it
shall
not
be
this
time
as
it
was
before.
11:30 For
ships
of
Kittim
shall
come
against
him,
and
he
shall
be
afraid
and
withdraw,
and
shall
turn
back
and
be
enraged
and
take
action
against
the
holy
covenant.
He
shall
turn
back
and
pay
attention
to
those
who
forsake
the
holy
covenant.
11:31 Forces
from
him
shall
appear
and
profane
the
temple
and
fortress,
and
shall
take
away
the
regular
burnt
offering.
And
they
shall
set
up
the
abomination
that
makes
desolate.
11:32 He
shall
seduce
with
flattery
those
who
violate
the
covenant,
but
the
people
who
know
their
God
shall
stand
firm
and
take
action.
11:33 And
the
wise
among
the
people
shall
make
many
understand,
though
for
some
days
they
shall
stumble
by
sword
and
flame,
by
captivity
and
plunder.
11:34 When
they
stumble,
they
shall
receive
a
little
help.
And
many
shall
join
themselves
to
them
with
flattery,
11:35 and
some
of
the
wise
shall
stumble,
so
that
they
may
be
refined,
purified,
and
made
white,
until
the
time
of
the
end,
for
it
still
awaits
the
appointed
time.
11:36 "And
the
king
shall
do
as
he
wills.
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
decreed
shall
be
done.
11:37 He
shall
pay
no
attention
to
the
gods
of
his
fathers,
or
to
the
one
beloved
by
women.
He
shall
not
pay
attention
to
any
other
god,
for
he
shall
magnify
himself
above
all.
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.
11:39 He
shall
deal
with
the
strongest
fortresses
with
the
help
of
a
foreign
god.
Those
who
acknowledge
him
he
shall
load
with
honor.
He
shall
make
them
rulers
over
many
and
shall
divide
the
land
for
a
price.
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.
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.
11:42 He
shall
stretch
out
his
hand
against
the
countries,
and
the
land
of
Egypt
shall
not
escape.
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
Cushites
shall
follow
in
his
train.
11:44 But
news
from
the
east
and
the
north
shall
alarm
him,
and
he
shall
go
out
with
great
fury
to
destroy
and
devote
many
to
destruction.
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.
