chapter 11
1
And
from the first year of Darius the Mede I stood up that he might be strengthened
and confirmed.
2 And now I will shew thee the truth. Behold there
shall stand yet three kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be enriched
exceedingly above them all: and when he shall be grown mighty by his riches, he
shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.
3 But there shall rise up a strong king, and shall rule
with great power: and he shall do what he pleaseth.
4 And when he shall come to his height, his kingdom
shall be broken, and it shall be divided towards the four winds of the heaven:
but not to his posterity, nor according to his power with which he ruled. For
his kingdom shall be rent in pieces, even for strangers, beside these.
5 And the king of the south shall be strengthened, and
one of his princes shall prevail over him, and he shall rule with great power:
for his dominion shall be great.
6 And after the end of years they shall be in league
together: and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of
the north to make friendship, but she shall not obtain the strength of the arm,
neither shall her seed stand: and she shall be given up, and her young men that
brought her, and they that strengthened her in these times.
7 And a plant of the bud of her roots, shall stand up:
and he shall come with an army, and shall enter into the province of the king
of the north: and he shall abuse them, and shall prevail.
8 And he shall also carry away captive into Egypt their
gods, and their graven things, and their precious vessels of gold and silver:
he shall prevail against the king of the north.
9 And the king of the south shall enter into the
kingdom, and shall return to his own land.
10 And his sons shall be provoked, and they shall
assemble a multitude of great forces: and he shall come with haste like a
flood: and he shall return and be stirred up, and he shall join battle with his
forces.
11 And the king of the south being provoked shall go
forth, and shall fight against the king of the north, and shall prepare an
exceeding great multitude, and a multitude shall be given into his hand.
12 And he shall take a multitude, and his heart shall
be lifted up, and he shall cast down many thousands: but he shall not prevail.
13 For the king of the north shall return and shall
prepare a multitude much greater than before: and in the end of times and
years, be shall come in haste with a great army, and much riches.
14 And in those times many shall rise up against the
king of the south, and the children of prevaricators of thy people shall lift
up themselves to fulfil the vision, and they shall fall.
15 And the king of the north shall come, and shall cast
up a mount, and shall take the best fenced cities: and the arms of the south
shall not withstand, and his chosen ones shall rise up to resist, and they
shall not have strength.
16 And he shall come upon him and do according to his
pleasure, and there shall be none to stand against his face: and he shall stand
in the glorious land, and it shall be consumed by his hand.
17 And he shall set his face to come to possess all his
kingdom, and he shall make upright conditions with him: and he shall give him a
daughter of women, to overthrow it: and she shall not stand, neither shall she
be for him.
18 And he shall turn his face to the islands, and shall
take many: and he shall cause the prince of his reproach to cease, and his
reproach shall be turned upon him.
19 And he shall turn his face to the empire of his own
land, and he shall stumble, and fall, and shall not be found.
20 And there shall stand up in his place, one most
vile, and unworthy of kingly honour: and in a few days he shall be destroyed,
not in rage nor in battle.
21 And there shall stand up in his place one despised,
and the kingly honour shall not be given him: and he shall come privately, and
shall obtain the kingdom by fraud.
22 And the arms of the fighter shall be overcome before
his face, and shall be broken; yea also the prince of the covenant.
23 And after friendships, he will deal deceitfully with
him: and he shall go up, and shall overcome with a small people.
24 And he shall enter into rich and plentiful cities:
and he shall do that which his fathers never did, nor his fathers' fathers: he
shall scatter their spoils, and their prey, and their riches, and shall
forecast devices against the best fenced places: and this until a time.
25 And his strength and his heart shall be stirred up
against the king of the south with a great army: and the king of the south
shall be stirred up to battle with many and very strong succours: and they
shall not stand, for they shall form designs against him.
26 And they that eat bread with him, shall destroy him,
and his army shall be overthrown: and many shall fall down slain.
27 And the heart of the two kings shall be to do evil,
and they shall speak lies at one table, and they shall not prosper: because as
yet the end is unto another time.
28 And he shall return into his land with much riches:
and his heart shall be against the holy covenant, and he shall succeed and
shall return into his own land.
29 At the time appointed he shall return, and he shall
come to the south, but the latter time shall not be like the former.
30 And the galleys and the Romans shall come upon him,
and he shall be struck, and shall return, and shall have indignation against
the covenant of the sanctuary, and he shall succeed: and he shall return and
shall devise against them that have forsaken the covenant of the sanctuary.
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall
defile the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the continual sacrifice,
and they shall place there the abomination unto desolation.
32 And such as deal wickedly against the covenant shall
deceitfully dissemble: but the people that know their God shall prevail and
succeed.
33 And they that are learned among the people shall
teach many: and they shall fall by the sword, and by fire, and by captivity,
and by spoil for many days.
34 And when they shall have fallen they shall be
relieved with a small help: and many shall be joined to them deceitfully.
35 And some of the learned shall fall, that they may be
tried, and may be chosen, and made white even to the appointed time, because
yet there shall be another time.
36 And the king shall do according to his will, and he
shall be lifted up, and shall magnify himself against every god: and he shall
speak great things against the God of gods, and shall prosper, till the wrath
be accomplished. For the determination is made.
37 And he shall make no account of the God of his
fathers: and he shall follow the lust of women, and he shall not regard any
gods: for he shall rise up against all things.
38 But he shall worship the god Maozim in his place:
and a god whom his fathers knew not, he shall worship with gold, and silver,
and precious stones, and things of great price.
39 And he shall do this to fortify Maozim with a
strange god, whom he hath acknowledged, and he shall increase glory and shall
give them power over many, and shall divide the land gratis.
40 And at the time prefixed the king of the south shall
fight against him, and the king of the north shall come against him like a
tempest, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with a great navy, and he shall
enter into the countries, and shall destroy, and pass through.
41 And he shall enter into the glorious land, and many
shall fall: and these only shall be saved out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and
the principality of the children of Ammon.
42 And he shall lay his hand upon the lands: and the
land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 And he shall have power over the treasures of gold,
and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt: and he shall pass through
Libya, and Ethiopia.
44 And tidings out of the east, and out of the north
shall trouble him: and he shall come with a great multitude to destroy and slay
many.
45 And he shall fix his tabernacle Apadno between the
seas, upon a glorious and holy mountain: and he shall come even to the top
thereof, and none shall help him.
