Daniel 11:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 And the king of the north will come, and he will throw up siege ramps[a] and capture a city of fortifications and the military forces of the south and his choice troops[b] will not stand, for[c] there is no strength left to resist. 16 And the one coming to him will act according to[d] his pleasure, and there is no one who will stand[e] before him,[f] and he will stand in the beautiful land[g] 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;[h] and he will act,[i] and the daughter of women he will give to him to destroy it,[j] but the ploy will not succeed and she will not support him.[k]
