Daniel 11:22-24

Expanded Bible

²² He will sweep away in defeat ·large and powerful [^Lfloodlike] ·armies [forces] and even a prince who made an ·agreement [covenant; treaty]. ²³ Many nations will make ·agreements [alliances] with ·that cruel and hated ruler [^Lhim], but he will lie to them. He will gain much power, but only a few people will support him. ²⁴ The richest ·areas [or people of a province] will feel safe, but ·that cruel and hated ruler [^Lhe] will attack them. He will succeed where his ·ancestors [^Lfathers and father’s fathers] did not. He will ·rob the countries he defeats and will give those things to his followers [^Lscatter spoil, plunder, and goods to them]. He will plan ·to defeat and destroy strong cities [^Lagainst strongholds], ·but he will be successful for only a short time [^Luntil a time].
