Daniel 11:21-35
Orthodox Jewish Bible
21 And in his place shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the glory of the malchut but he shall come in unawares, and obtain the kingdom by intrigues.
22 And an overwhelming army will be swept away before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the Nagid Brit.
23 And after the league made with him he shall practice deceit, for he shall go up, and shall become strong with a small people.
24 He shall enter unawares even into the fattest of the provinces; and he shall do that which his avot have not done, nor his avot of his avot; he shall scatter among them the spoil and booty and possessions, yea, and he shall plan his devices against the strongholds, even for a time.
25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the Melech HaNegev with a great army; and HaMelech HaNegev shall be stirred up for battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise devices against him.
26 Yea, they that eat of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow, and many shall fall down slain.
27 And the hearts of both of these melachim shall be for evil, and they shall speak lies at one shulchan, but it shall not prosper; for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
28 Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his lev shall be against the Brit Kodesh; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come again to the South; but it shall not be as at the first so at the last.
30 For the ships of Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be disheartened and shall return, and rage against the Brit Kodesh so shall he do; he shall even return, and will fix his attention upon those that forsake the Brit Kodesh.
31 And forces from him will stand, and they shall desecrate the Mikdash, the Citadel, and shall do away with HaTamid, and set up the Shikkutz MeShomem.
32 And such as do wickedly against the Brit shall he pervert in intrigue, but the people who know their G-d shall be strong and will do.
33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many; yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and through despoilment for many yamim.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help, but many shall cleave to them in intrigue.
35 And some of them of understanding shall fall to try them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end, because it is yet for a time appointed.

Daniel 11:21-35
New International Version
21 “He will be succeeded by a contemptible(A) person who has not been given the honor of royalty.(B) 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(C) before him; both it and a prince of the covenant will be destroyed.(D) 23 After coming to an agreement with him, he will act deceitfully,(E) 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.(F) 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,(G) will sit at the same table and lie(H) to each other, but to no avail, because an end will still come at the appointed time.(I) 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(J) will oppose him, and he will lose heart.(K) Then he will turn back and vent his fury(L) 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.(M) Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation.(N) 32 With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist(O) him.
33 “Those who are wise will instruct(P) many, though for a time they will fall by the sword or be burned or captured or plundered.(Q) 34 When they fall, they will receive a little help, and many who are not sincere(R) will join them. 35 Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined,(S) purified and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.
