Daniel 11:22-24
1599 Geneva Bible
22 And the [a]arms shall be overthrown with a flood before him, and shall be broken: and also the prince of the [b]covenant.
23 And after [c]the league made with him, he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and overcome with a [d]small people.
24 He shall enter into the quiet and plentiful province, and he shall do that which his fathers [e]have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers: he shall divide among them the prey and the spoil, and the substance, yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strongholds, even for a [f]time.
