Daniel 11:2-4

New International Reader's Version

The Kings of Egypt and Syria

² “Now then, what I’m about to tell you is true. Three more kings will come to power in Persia. Then a fourth one will rule. He will be much richer than all the others. He will use his wealth to gain power. And he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece. ³ After him, a mighty king will come to power. He will rule with great power and do as he pleases. ⁴ Not long after his rule ends, his kingdom will be broken up. It will be divided up into four parts. His children will not receive it when he dies. And it will not be as strong as his kingdom. It will be pulled up by the roots. And it will be given to others.
