23 And after [a]the league made with him, he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and overcome with a [b]small people.

24 He shall enter into the quiet and plentiful province, and he shall do that which his fathers [c]have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers: he shall divide among them the prey and the spoil, and the substance, yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strongholds, even for a [d]time.

25 Also he shall stir up his power, and his courage against the King of the South with a great army, and the King of the South shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army: but he shall not [e]stand: for they shall forecast and practice against him.
