Daniel 11:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 For he shall turn his face toward the forts of [a]his own land: but he shall be overthrown and fall, and be no more [b]found.
20 [c]Then shall stand up in his place in the glory of the kingdom, one that shall raise taxes: but after few days he shall be destroyed, neither in [d]wrath, nor in battle.
21 And in his place shall stand up a [e]vile person, to whom they shall not give the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
