Daniel 11:36-45

The Kings of the South and the North

36 "And the king shall l do as he wills. m He shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, n and shall speak astonishing things against o the God of gods. p He shall prosper q till the indignation is accomplished; for what is decreed shall be done. 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 m he shall magnify himself above all. 38 He shall honor the god of fortresses instead of these. A god whom his fathers did not know he shall honor r with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. 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 s shall divide the land for a price. 1

40 t "At the time of the end, the king of the south shall attack 2 him, but the king of the north shall rush upon him u like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, and with many ships. And he shall come into countries and v shall overflow and pass through. 41 He shall come into w the glorious land. And tens of thousands shall fall, but these shall be delivered out of his hand: x Edom and x Moab and the main part of the x Ammonites. 42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 He shall become ruler of the treasures of gold and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt, and the y Libyans and the z Cushites shall follow in his train. 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. 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.
