波斯攻击希腊的预言
11 “玛代人大利乌王第一年，我曾经起来帮助米迦勒，使他坚强。 2 现在我要把真理告诉你。看哪！在波斯还有三个王要兴起；第四个王必非常富有，远超过所有的王；他因富足成为强盛以后，就必煽动众民攻击希腊国。 3 后来必有一个英勇的王兴起，他必执掌大权，任意而行。 4 他兴起的时候，他的国就破裂，向天的四方（“四方”原文作“四风”）分开，却不归给他的后代，国势也不及他掌权的时候；因为他的国必被拔出，归给他后代以外的人。
南方王与北方王时战时和
5 “南方的王必强盛，他的将领中必有一个比他更强盛的，这人必掌权，他的权势很大。 6 过了多年，南方王的女儿必到北方王那里去修好，他们必互相结盟。但这女子的势力必存留不住；王和他的势力也站立不住；她连同那些带她来的、那生她的，和那帮助她的，都被交出处死。 7 但这女子的本家（“本家”原文作“根”）必另有一个儿子（“儿子”原文作“枝子”）兴起，继承父位；他必来攻击北方王的军队，进入北方王的堡垒，攻打他们，而且得胜。 8 他又把他们的神像、铸成的偶像，连同金银的宝器，都一起掳掠到了埃及去。此后数年之久，他不再去攻击北方王。 9 后来北方王必侵入南方王的国土，然后撤退归回本国。
10 “北方王的众子必备战，招集大军；这大军前进，如洪水泛滥，横扫南方王的国土；之后他又再去争战，直到南方王的堡垒。 11 南方王必发大怒，出来和北方王交战；北方王必摆列大军，但这大军必交在南方王的手里。 12 这大军被扫除以后，南方王就心高气傲；他虽然使千万人倒毙，他的胜利却不能持久。 13 北方王必再招聚大军，比先前的更多；时机成熟的时候（“时机成熟的时候”直译是“过了一些时候，一些年”），他就率领装备好了的大军而来。
14 “那时，必有许多人起来攻击南方王，并且你同胞中的强暴人必挺身而起，要使那异象应验，但他们必失败。 15 北方王必来，堆土筑垒攻取坚固城。南方的军力必抵挡不住，甚至精锐的部队也无力抵抗。 16 那来攻击南方王的，必任意而行；没有人能在他面前站立得住；他必站在那荣美之地，手握毁坏之权。 17 他决意倾全国的力量而来，但他先和南方王修好，把自己的女儿给南方王为妻，好毁灭南国；可是他的计划没有成功，他自己也得不到甚么好处。 18 后来他必转向沿海的岛屿，夺取了许多海岛。但有一个将领要制止他的骄横，并且使他的骄横归回他身上。 19 于是他转向自己国中的堡垒，终于绊跌仆倒，不再存在了。
20 “那时，必有一个人兴起来代替他；这人要派一个横征暴敛的人，为了王国的荣华，走遍全地；可是不多几日，这人就必被毁灭，不是因为忿怒，也不是因为战争。 21 必另有一个卑鄙的人兴起来代替他；虽然人未曾把王国的尊荣给这人，这人却乘人不备的时候来到，用奉承的话夺得了王国。 22 必有无数的军兵在他面前像洪水冲没，并且溃败；立约的君也必这样。 23 他结盟以后，就必行诡诈；他虽然只有少数的国民，却渐渐强盛起来。 24 他必乘人不备的时候，侵入省内最富庶的地区，行他列祖和他列祖的祖先所未曾行过的；他把掳掠之物和财物分给自己的部属；又必设下计谋攻打堡垒，只是这都是暂时的。 25 他必竭尽己力，鼓起勇气，率领大军攻击南方王；南方王也必带领极强大的军队奋起还击，却抵挡不住，因为有人设下计谋陷害南方王。 26 那些吃王膳的必毁灭他；他的军队必被冲没，受重伤而倒毙的很多。 27 至于那两个王，他们都存心不良；他们同桌吃饭，也彼此说谎；他们的阴谋却不成功，因为要到了指定的时候，结局才会来到。
北方王废弃圣约
28 “北方王必带着大批财物返回自己的国土去；他的心既然反对圣约，必任意而行，然后返回自己的国土去。
29 “到了指定的时候，他必回来，再侵入南方的王国，不过这次的情况却不像前一次。 30 因为基提的战船必来攻击他，他就丧胆而回；他又恼恨圣约，任意而行；他必回来，听取那些背弃圣约的人的建议。 31 他的军队必起来，亵渎圣殿，就是那堡垒，废除常献祭，又在殿里设立了那使地荒凉的可憎的像。 32 那些作恶违背圣约的人，他必用奉承的话败坏他们；但认识 神的人民，必刚强行事。 33 民中的智慧人必使许多人明白是非；但他们必有很多日子倒在刀剑之下，或被火烧，或被掳去，或被抢掠。 34 他们仆倒的时候，必得到一些援助，必有许多人用奉承的话要和他们联盟。 35 智慧人中有些仆倒的，为要锻炼他们，洁净他们，使他们成为雪白，直到末了，因为要到了指定的时候，结局才会来到。
36 “那王必任意而行，自高自大，超过所有的神，又说一些怪诞的话攻击万神之 神。他必行事顺利，直到 神的忿怒完毕；因为所定的事必会实现。 37 他必不尊重他列祖所拜的神，也不尊重妇女所爱慕的神，无论甚么神他都不尊重，因为他必自大，高过一切。 38 他倒要敬拜堡垒的神，用金银宝石和各样珍宝去敬拜他列祖所不认识的神。 39 他必得着外族神的帮助，攻破坚固的堡垒；凡承认他的，他必使他们大得尊荣，又使他们管辖许多人，并且把土地分给他们作赏赐。
40 “到了末期，南方王要和他交战；北方王必带着战车、骑兵和大批战船，像暴风一般来到他那里；他必侵入列国，如洪水泛滥，横扫而过。 41 他也必侵入那荣美之地；必有许多国倾覆；但那些以东人、摩押人和亚扪人的首领，必被拯救脱离他的手。 42 他必伸手攻击列国，埃及地也不能逃脱。 43 他必掌管埃及的金银宝藏和一切珍宝；吕彼亚人和古实人都必追随他。 44 但从东方和北方必有消息传来，使他惊惶，他就在烈怒之下出兵，要把许多人杀尽灭绝。 45 他必在海和荣美的圣山之间支搭如宫殿一般的帐幕；然而他们的结局来到，必没有人能帮助他。”

The Kings of the South and the North
11 “And as for me, (A)in the first year of (B)Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
2 “And now I will show you (C)the truth. Behold, three more kings shall arise in Persia, and a fourth shall be far richer than all of them. And when he has become strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece. 3 Then (D)a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion and (E)do as he wills. 4 And as soon as he has arisen, (F)his kingdom shall be broken and divided (G)toward the (H)four winds of heaven, but (I)not to his posterity, nor according to the authority with which he ruled, for his kingdom shall be plucked up and go to others besides these.
5 “Then the king of the south shall be strong, but one of his princes shall be stronger than he (J)and shall rule, and his authority shall be a great authority. 6 After some years (K)they shall make an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement. But she shall not retain the strength of her arm, and he and his arm shall not endure, but she shall be given up, and her attendants, he who fathered her, and he who supported[a] her in those times.
7 “And from a branch from her roots one shall arise in his place. He shall come against the army and enter the (L)fortress of the king of the north, and he shall deal with them and shall prevail. 8 He shall also carry off to Egypt their gods with their metal images and their precious (M)vessels of silver and gold, and for some years he shall refrain from attacking the king of the north. 9 Then the latter shall come into the realm of the king of the south but shall return to his own land.
10 “His sons shall wage war and assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall keep coming (N)and overflow and pass through, and again shall carry the war as far as his (O)fortress. 11 Then the king of the south, (P)moved with rage, shall come out and fight against the king of the north. (Q)And he shall raise a great multitude, but it shall be given into his hand. 12 And when the multitude is taken away, his heart shall be exalted, and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail. 13 For the king of the north shall again (R)raise a multitude, greater than the first. And (S)after some years[b] he shall come on with a great army and abundant supplies.
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 (T)they shall fail. 15 Then the king of the north shall come and (U)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 (V)do as he wills, and (W)none shall stand before him. And he shall stand in (X)the glorious land, with destruction in his hand. 17 He shall (Y)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,[c] 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,[d] he (Z)shall turn his insolence back upon him. 19 Then he shall turn his face back toward the (AA)fortresses of his own land, but he shall (AB)stumble and fall, (AC)and shall not be found.
20 “Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an (AD)exactor of tribute for the glory of the kingdom. But within a few days he shall be broken, neither in anger nor in battle. 21 In his place shall arise a contemptible person to whom royal majesty has not been given. (AE)He shall come in without warning and obtain the kingdom (AF)by flatteries. 22 Armies shall be (AG)utterly swept away before him and broken, even the prince of the covenant. 23 And from the time that an alliance is made with him he shall act deceitfully, and he shall become strong with a small people. 24 (AH)Without warning he shall come into (AI)the richest parts[e] of the province, and he shall do what neither his fathers nor his fathers' fathers have done, scattering among them plunder, spoil, and goods. He shall devise plans against strongholds, but only for a time. 25 And he shall stir up his power and his heart against (AJ)the king of the south with a great army. And the king of the south shall wage war with an exceedingly great and mighty army, but he shall not stand, for plots shall be devised against him. 26 Even those who eat his food shall break him. His army shall be (AK)swept away, and many shall fall down slain. 27 And as for the two kings, their hearts shall be bent on doing evil. They shall speak lies at the same table, but to no avail, for (AL)the end is yet to be at the time appointed. 28 And he shall return to his land with great wealth, but his heart shall be set against the holy covenant. And he shall work his will and return to his own land.
29 “At the time appointed he shall return and come into the south, but it shall not be this time as it was before. 30 For ships of (AM)Kittim shall come against him, and he shall be afraid and withdraw, and shall turn back and (AN)be enraged and (AO)take action against the holy covenant. He shall turn back and pay attention to those who forsake the holy covenant. 31 Forces from him shall appear and (AP)profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And (AQ)they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate. 32 He shall seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action. 33 (AR)And the wise among the people shall make many understand, though for some days they shall stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder. 34 When they stumble, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join themselves to them with flattery, 35 and some of the wise shall stumble, so that they may be refined, (AS)purified, and (AT)made white, until (AU)the time of the end, (AV)for it still awaits the appointed time.
36 “And the king shall (AW)do as he wills. (AX)He shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, (AY)and shall speak astonishing things against (AZ)the God of gods. (BA)He shall prosper (BB)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 (BC)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 (BD)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 (BE)shall divide the land for a price.[f]
40 (BF)“At the time of the end, the king of the south shall attack[g] him, but the king of the north shall rush upon him (BG)like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, and with many ships. And he shall come into countries and (BH)shall overflow and pass through. 41 He shall come into (BI)the glorious land. And tens of thousands shall fall, but these shall be delivered out of his hand: (BJ)Edom and (BK)Moab and the main part of the (BL)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 (BM)Libyans and the (BN)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.

11 1 And in the first year of Darius(A) the Mede, I took my stand to support and protect him.)
The Kings of the South and the North
2 “Now then, I tell you the truth:(B) Three more kings will arise in Persia, and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others. When he has gained power by his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.(C) 3 Then a mighty king will arise, who will rule with great power and do as he pleases.(D) 4 After he has arisen, his empire will be broken up and parceled out toward the four winds of heaven.(E) It will not go to his descendants, nor will it have the power he exercised, because his empire will be uprooted(F) and given to others.
5 “The king of the South will become strong, but one of his commanders will become even stronger than he and will rule his own kingdom with great power. 6 After some years, they will become allies. The daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to make an alliance, but she will not retain her power, and he and his power[a] will not last. In those days she will be betrayed, together with her royal escort and her father[b] and the one who supported her.
7 “One from her family line will arise to take her place. He will attack the forces of the king of the North(G) and enter his fortress; he will fight against them and be victorious. 8 He will also seize their gods,(H) their metal images and their valuable articles of silver and gold and carry them off to Egypt.(I) For some years he will leave the king of the North alone. 9 Then the king of the North will invade the realm of the king of the South but will retreat to his own country. 10 His sons will prepare for war and assemble a great army, which will sweep on like an irresistible flood(J) and carry the battle as far as his fortress.
11 “Then the king of the South will march out in a rage and fight against the king of the North, who will raise a large army, but it will be defeated.(K) 12 When the army is carried off, the king of the South will be filled with pride and will slaughter many thousands, yet he will not remain triumphant. 13 For the king of the North will muster another army, larger than the first; and after several years, he will advance with a huge army fully equipped.
14 “In those times many will rise against the king of the South. Those who are violent among your own people will rebel in fulfillment of the vision, but without success. 15 Then the king of the North will come and build up siege ramps(L) and will capture a fortified city. The forces of the South will be powerless to resist; even their best troops will not have the strength to stand. 16 The invader will do as he pleases;(M) no one will be able to stand against him.(N) He will establish himself in the Beautiful Land and will have the power to destroy it.(O) 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[c] will not succeed(P) or help him. 18 Then he will turn his attention to the coastlands(Q) and will take many of them, but a commander will put an end to his insolence and will turn his insolence back on him.(R) 19 After this, he will turn back toward the fortresses of his own country but will stumble and fall,(S) to be seen no more.(T)
20 “His successor will send out a tax collector to maintain the royal splendor.(U) In a few years, however, he will be destroyed, yet not in anger or in battle.
21 “He will be succeeded by a contemptible(V) person who has not been given the honor of royalty.(W) He will invade the kingdom when its people feel secure, and he will seize it through intrigue. 22 Then an overwhelming army will be swept away(X) before him; both it and a prince of the covenant will be destroyed.(Y) 23 After coming to an agreement with him, he will act deceitfully,(Z) and with only a few people he will rise to power. 24 When the richest provinces feel secure, he will invade them and will achieve what neither his fathers nor his forefathers did. He will distribute plunder, loot and wealth among his followers.(AA) He will plot the overthrow of fortresses—but only for a time.
25 “With a large army he will stir up his strength and courage against the king of the South. The king of the South will wage war with a large and very powerful army, but he will not be able to stand because of the plots devised against him. 26 Those who eat from the king’s provisions will try to destroy him; his army will be swept away, and many will fall in battle. 27 The two kings, with their hearts bent on evil,(AB) will sit at the same table and lie(AC) to each other, but to no avail, because an end will still come at the appointed time.(AD) 28 The king of the North will return to his own country with great wealth, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant. He will take action against it and then return to his own country.
29 “At the appointed time he will invade the South again, but this time the outcome will be different from what it was before. 30 Ships of the western coastlands(AE) will oppose him, and he will lose heart.(AF) Then he will turn back and vent his fury(AG) against the holy covenant. He will return and show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant.
31 “His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress and will abolish the daily sacrifice.(AH) Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation.(AI) 32 With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist(AJ) him.
33 “Those who are wise will instruct(AK) many, though for a time they will fall by the sword or be burned or captured or plundered.(AL) 34 When they fall, they will receive a little help, and many who are not sincere(AM) will join them. 35 Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined,(AN) purified and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.
The King Who Exalts Himself
36 “The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself(AO) above every god and will say unheard-of things(AP) against the God of gods.(AQ) He will be successful until the time of wrath(AR) is completed, for what has been determined must take place.(AS) 37 He will show no regard for the gods of his ancestors or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. 38 Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his ancestors he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. 39 He will attack the mightiest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will make them rulers over many people and will distribute the land at a price.[d]
40 “At the time of the end the king of the South(AT) will engage him in battle, and the king of the North will storm(AU) out against him with chariots and cavalry and a great fleet of ships. He will invade many countries and sweep through them like a flood.(AV) 41 He will also invade the Beautiful Land.(AW) Many countries will fall, but Edom,(AX) Moab(AY) and the leaders of Ammon will be delivered from his hand. 42 He will extend his power over many countries; Egypt will not escape. 43 He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and all the riches of Egypt,(AZ) with the Libyans(BA) and Cushites[e] in submission. 44 But reports from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many. 45 He will pitch his royal tents between the seas at[f] the beautiful holy mountain.(BB) Yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.

Os reis do Sul e do Norte
11 Eu fui mandado fortalecer e ajudar Dario, o medo, no primeiro ano do seu reinado. 2 Mas agora vou mostrar-te o que o futuro tem guardado. Três outros reis persas governarão e um quarto suceder-lhes-á, muito mais próspero que os primeiros. Usando os recursos de que dispõe, irá obter vitórias políticas e desencadeará uma guerra total contra a Grécia.
3 Depois levantar-se-á um poderoso rei na Grécia que governará um vasto reino e conseguirá tudo o que tiver planeado conquistar. 4 Contudo, no auge do seu poder, o seu reino será repartido em quatro nações mais fracas, que nem sequer serão dirigidas pelos seus filhos. O seu império será dividido e entregue a outros.
5 Um deles, o rei do Sul[a], há de conseguir aumentar bastante em força, mas um dos seus comandantes revoltar-se-á, tomará conta do poder, tornando-o ainda mais forte. 6 Anos mais tarde formar-se-á uma aliança entre o rei do Norte[b] e o do Sul. A filha deste será dada em casamento ao rei do Norte, num gesto de paz, mas ela perderá a sua influência sobre ele e as suas esperanças, assim como as do seu pai, o rei do Egito, serão frustradas.
7 Contudo, quando o seu irmão subir ao trono, como rei do Sul, há de congregar um exército contra o rei do Norte e derrotá-lo-á. 8 Quando regressar ao Egito trará consigo os ídolos da Síria e também artigos preciosos de ouro e prata. Durante muitos anos deixará o rei da Síria em paz. 9 Entretanto, o rei do Norte invadirá o reino do Sul, por pouco tempo, pois depressa regressará à sua terra. 10 Contudo, os filhos deste rei do Norte juntarão um poderoso exército que invadirá Israel, passará ao Egito e se fortificará ali.
11 Depois o rei do Sul, com grande ira, concentrar-se-á contra as vastas forças do rei do Norte e as derrotará. 12 Cheio de orgulho, após esta vitória retumbante, há de chegar a liquidar milhares dos seus inimigos. No entanto, o seu sucesso será de pouca duração. 13 Alguns anos mais tarde o rei do Norte voltará com um exército completamente equipado, muito maior do que aquele que perdera antes. 14 Outras nações se unirão a ele nessa cruzada contra o Egito; gente rebelde entre os judeus se juntará a ele, cumprindo assim a profecia; mas não serão bem sucedidos. 15 Então o rei do Norte e os seus aliados sitiarão uma cidade fortificada do Egito, conquistá-la-ão e os altivos exércitos do Egito serão derrotados. 16 O rei do Norte continuará sem ninguém que se lhe oponha; ninguém será capaz de o deter. Entrará também na terra gloriosa de Israel e a saqueará. 17 Estabelecerá um plano para o domínio completo do Egito; acordará também o casamento duma filha com o rei do Sul, para que possa avançar melhor com os seus intentos, mas não conseguirá o que quer. 18 Posteriormente, voltará a sua atenção para as cidades costeiras e tomará muitas delas. Contudo, haverá um comandante que o deterá e o fará retirar-se envergonhado. 19 Regressará à sua terra, mas pelo caminho terá problemas e desaparecerá.
20 O seu sucessor será lembrado como aquele que colocou impostos sobre Israel. Depois dum breve reinado, morrerá misteriosamente, nem em combate, nem em disputa nenhuma.
21 O rei a seguir será um homem mau e não subirá ao trono por sucessão real. Tomará o poder através do engano e da intriga. 22 Depois toda a oposição desaparecerá diante dele, incluindo o chefe do povo da aliança. 23 As suas promessas serão sempre falsas. Desde o princípio que a sua forma de atuar será sempre a do engano; apenas com um punhado de seguidores, tornar-se-á poderoso. 24 Entrará nas áreas mais prósperas da terra, sem aviso prévio, e fará aquilo que nunca tinha sido feito antes: tomará as propriedades dos ricos e dos abastados e distribuí-las-á pelo povo. Com grande sucesso irá atacar e capturar grandes fortalezas através das terras que controla, mas isto durará apenas um certo tempo.
25 Conseguirá conjugar forças e levantar um exército contra o Egito; este também tentará fazer o mesmo, mas sem êxito, porque enormes conjuras se formarão contra ele. 26 Os da sua própria casa irão depô-lo; o seu exército será dizimado e muitos serão mortos. 27 Ambos estes reis conspirarão um contra o outro, mesmo à mesa das negociações, tentando enganar-se mutuamente, mas isso de pouco servirá, pois nem um nem outro serão bem sucedidos até que chegue o tempo indicado por Deus.
28 O rei do Norte regressará então a casa com grandes riquezas, não sem antes marchar sobre Israel, o povo da santa aliança, e destruí-la; fará o que planeou e regressará à sua terra. 29 No tempo previsto, voltará de novo as suas forças para o Sul, mas nessa altura será tudo diferente. 30 Porque navios de guerra de Quitim virão atacá-lo, e isso vai atemorizá-lo. A seguir, furioso, ele tentará destruir a religião do povo da santa aliança. E atenderá aos que abandonaram essa aliança. 31 Enfurecido por ter sido obrigado a fugir, vai levantar-se ferozmente, a fim de profanar o santuário, fazendo parar os sacrifícios diários e estabelecendo a abominação que causa a desolação. 32 O rei usará o engano para ganhar o apoio dos que transgrediram os preceitos da aliança, para ganhá-los para o seu lado; mas os que reconhecem a Deus resistirão com firmeza e coragem e farão grandes coisas.
33 Os que têm discernimento espiritual terão um largo ministério, ensinando, durante aquele tempo. Correrão constantemente perigo; muitos deles morrerão pelo fogo ou pelas armas, ou serão postos em cárceres, despojados do que possuem. 34 No meio destas pressões, alguns homens descrentes apresentar-se-ão como que pretendendo oferecer socorro, mas só para tirar proveito dos que são perseguidos. 35 Até alguns dos mais dotados nas coisas de Deus tropeçarão naquele dia e cairão; mas isto acabará por ser uma forma de os refinar e purificar, tornando-os mais limpos até ao fim de todas estas provações, até ao momento que Deus indicar.
36 O rei fará só aquilo que lhe agrada, proclamando-se acima dos deuses, blasfemando até do Deus dos deuses e prosperando, mas só até quando o Senhor entender, porque os planos de Deus são inabaláveis. 37 O rei não terá consideração alguma pelos deuses dos seus antepassados, nem pelo deus amado pelas mulheres, nem por nenhum outro, porque se gloriará como sendo ele o maior de todos. 38 Em lugar desses deuses todos, adorará o deus das fortalezas, um deus que seus pais desconheciam, e será pródigo em ofertar-lhe donativos muito caros como ouro, prata, joias e outras riquezas. 39 Dirá que é com a sua ajuda que há de atacar grandes fortalezas e conquistá-las. Dará honras aos que se lhe submetem, nomeando-os para posições de autoridade e repartindo entre eles a terra como recompensa.
40 Chegando o tempo do fim, o rei do Sul tornará a atacá-lo e o do Norte reagirá com a violência e a fúria dum furacão; o seu vasto exército e a sua grande armada de navios de guerra sairão para invadi-lo com o seu poder. 41 Dessa forma, conseguirá invadir vários países, incluindo Israel, a terra gloriosa, e derrubará o governo de muitas outras nações. Moabe, Edom e quase todo Amon escaparão. 42 O Egito e muitas outra nações serão ocupadas. 43 Tomará posse de todos os tesouros do Egito, tesouros de ouro e de prata, além doutras riquezas, e os líbios e os cuchitas tornar-se-ão seus servos.
44 Nessa altura, notícias vindas tanto do norte como do oriente irão alarmá-lo e voltará em grande ira para destruir e aniquilar muitos. 45 Deter-se-á entre a gloriosa montanha santa e o mar, armando ali as tendas reais. Enquanto permanece nesse sítio, o seu tempo chegará e não haverá ninguém que o apoie.
