Daniel 11:23-25

New Catholic Bible

²³ “After he enters into an alliance, he will act deceitfully, and by treacherous means he will rise to power with only a few supporters. ²⁴ Without advance warning he will invade the most prosperous provinces and do what his fathers or his grandfathers had never done, lavishing plunder, spoil, and riches among them, yet all the while devising plans against their strongholds, but only for a time.

²⁵ “He shall arouse his strength and courage to lead a great army against the kingdom of the south. Meanwhile the king of the south will wage war with a much greater and more powerful army, but he will not succeed because of the plots devised against him.
