Daniel 11:14-19

English Standard Version

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 ^(A)they shall fail. ¹⁵ Then the king of the north shall come and ^(B)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. ¹⁶ But he who comes against him shall ^(C)do as he wills, and ^(D)none shall stand before him. And he shall stand in ^(E)the glorious land, with destruction in his hand. ¹⁷ He shall ^(F)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,^[a] but it shall not stand or be to his advantage. 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,^[b] he ^(G)shall turn his insolence back upon him. ¹⁹ Then he shall turn his face back toward the ^(H)fortresses of his own land, but he shall ^(I)stumble and fall, ^(J)and shall not be found.
