¹³ For the king of the north shall again ^(A)raise a multitude, greater than the first. And ^(B)after some years^[a] he shall come on with a great army and abundant supplies.

¹⁶ Let his mind be changed from a man's, and let a beast's mind be given to him; ^(A)and let seven periods of time ^(B)pass over him.

⁷ And I heard ^(A)the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; ^(B)he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and ^(C)swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a ^(D)time, times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of ^(E)the power of ^(F)the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished.

⁶ After some years ^(A)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 ^(B)fortress of the king of the north, and he shall deal with them and shall prevail.
