Daniel 11:16-18
Lexham English Bible
16 And the one coming to him will act according to[a] his pleasure, and there is no one who will stand[b] before him,[c] and he will stand in the beautiful land[d] and complete destruction will be in his power. 17 And he will set his face to come with the authority of his whole kingdom and will form an agreement;[e] and he will act,[f] and the daughter of women he will give to him to destroy it,[g] but the ploy will not succeed and she will not support him.[h] 18 And he will turn his face to the coastlands, and he will capture many, but[i] a commander will end his insults to him so that instead his insults will turn back upon him.[j]

New International Version
16 The invader will do as he pleases;(A) no one will be able to stand against him.(B) He will establish himself in the Beautiful Land and will have the power to destroy it.(C) 17 He will determine to come with the might of his entire kingdom and will make an alliance with the king of the South. And he will give him a daughter in marriage in order to overthrow the kingdom, but his plans[a] will not succeed(D) or help him. 18 Then he will turn his attention to the coastlands(E) and will take many of them, but a commander will put an end to his insolence and will turn his insolence back on him.(F)
