Daniel 11:21-24
New King James Version
21 And in his place (A)shall arise a vile person, to whom they will not give the honor of royalty; but he shall come in peaceably, and seize the kingdom by intrigue. 22 With the [a]force of a (B)flood they shall be swept away from before him and be broken, (C)and also the prince of the covenant. 23 And after the league is made with him (D)he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. 24 He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, [b]spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time.

Modern English Version
21 “In his place a vile person shall stand up, to whom they shall not give the honor of the kingdom. But he shall come in peaceably and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. 22 A flood of armies shall be swept away before him and be broken, and the prince of the covenant as well. 23 After the league is made with him, he shall work deceitfully, and he shall come up and shall become strong with a small force of people. 24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the richest places of the realm. And he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers. He shall distribute among them the plunder and spoil and riches. And he shall plan his devices against the strongholds, but only for a time.
