³ And a ^(A)mighty king will arise, and he will rule with great authority and ^(B)do as he pleases. ⁴ But as soon as he has arisen, his kingdom will be broken up and parceled out ^(C)toward the ^(D)four ^[a]points of the compass, though not to his own descendants, nor according to his authority which he wielded, because his sovereignty will be ^(E)removed and given to others besides ^[b]them.

⁵ “Then the ^(F)king of the South will grow strong, ^[c]along with one of his princes ^[d]who will gain ascendancy over him and rule; his domain will be a great realm indeed.

⁹ Then ^[a]the latter will enter the realm of the king of the South, but will return to his own land.

¹¹ And the ^(A)king of the South will be enraged and go out and fight ^[a]with the king of the North. Then the latter will raise a great multitude, but that multitude will be handed over to ^[b]the former.

¹⁴ “Now in those times many will rise up against the king of the South; the violent ones among your people will also raise themselves up to fulfill the vision, but they will ^[a]fall down.
