Daniel 11:25-30

The Kings of the South and the North

25 And he shall stir up his power and his heart against a 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. 26 Even those who eat his food shall break him. His army shall be b swept away, and many shall fall down slain. 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 c the end is yet to be at the time appointed. 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.

29 "At the time appointed he shall return and come into the south, but it shall not be this time as it was before. 30 For ships of d Kittim shall come against him, and he shall be afraid and withdraw, and shall turn back and e be enraged and e take action against the holy covenant. He shall turn back and pay attention to those who forsake the holy covenant.
