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.

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.

^40 (A)“At the time of the end, the king of the south shall attack^[a] him, but the king of the north shall rush upon him ^(B)like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, and with many ships. And he shall come into countries and ^(C)shall overflow and pass through.

¹⁵ Then the king of the north shall come and ^(A)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.

⁷ “And from a branch from her roots one shall arise in his place. He shall come against the army and enter the ^(A)fortress of the king of the north, and he shall deal with them and shall prevail.

¹⁶ For behold, I am raising up in the land a shepherd ^(A)who does not care for those being destroyed, or seek the young or heal the maimed or nourish the healthy, but ^(B)devours the flesh of the fat ones, tearing off even their hoofs.

^21 (A)“Son of man, ^(B)I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and behold, ^(C)it has not been bound up, to heal it by binding it with a bandage, so that it may become strong to wield the sword.

^8 (A)After many days you will be mustered. ^(B)In the latter years you will go against ^(C)the land that is restored from war, the land whose people ^(D)were gathered from many peoples upon ^(E)the mountains of Israel, which had been a continual waste. Its people were brought out from the peoples and ^(F)now dwell securely, all of them. ⁹ You will advance, coming on ^(G)like a storm. You will be ^(H)like a cloud covering the land, you and all your ^(I)hordes, and many peoples with you.
