Daniel 11:5-13

English Standard Version

⁵ “Then the king of the south shall be strong, but one of his princes shall be stronger than he ^(A)and shall rule, and his authority shall be a great authority. ⁶ After some years ^(B)they shall make an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement. But she shall not retain the strength of her arm, and he and his arm shall not endure, but she shall be given up, and her attendants, he who fathered her, and he who supported^[a] her in those times.

⁷ “And from a branch from her roots one shall arise in his place. He shall come against the army and enter the ^(C)fortress of the king of the north, and he shall deal with them and shall prevail. ⁸ He shall also carry off to Egypt their gods with their metal images and their precious ^(D)vessels of silver and gold, and for some years he shall refrain from attacking the king of the north. ⁹ Then the latter shall come into the realm of the king of the south but shall return to his own land.

¹⁰ “His sons shall wage war and assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall keep coming ^(E)and overflow and pass through, and again shall carry the war as far as his ^(F)fortress. ¹¹ Then the king of the south, ^(G)moved with rage, shall come out and fight against the king of the north. ^(H)And he shall raise a great multitude, but it shall be given into his hand. ¹² And when the multitude is taken away, his heart shall be exalted, and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail. ¹³ For the king of the north shall again ^(I)raise a multitude, greater than the first. And ^(J)after some years^[b] he shall come on with a great army and abundant supplies.
