Daniel 11
English Standard Version
The Kings of the South and the North
11 “And as for me, (A)in the first year of (B)Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
2 “And now I will show you (C)the truth. Behold, three more kings shall arise in Persia, and a fourth shall be far richer than all of them. And when he has become strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece. 3 Then (D)a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion and (E)do as he wills. 4 And as soon as he has arisen, (F)his kingdom shall be broken and divided (G)toward the (H)four winds of heaven, but (I)not to his posterity, nor according to the authority with which he ruled, for his kingdom shall be plucked up and go to others besides these.
5 “Then the king of the south shall be strong, but one of his princes shall be stronger than he (J)and shall rule, and his authority shall be a great authority. 6 After some years (K)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 (L)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 (M)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 (N)and overflow and pass through, and again shall carry the war as far as his (O)fortress. 11 Then the king of the south, (P)moved with rage, shall come out and fight against the king of the north. (Q)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 (R)raise a multitude, greater than the first. And (S)after some years[b] he shall come on with a great army and abundant supplies.
14 “In those times many shall rise against the king of the south, and the violent among your own people shall lift themselves up in order to fulfill the vision, but (T)they shall fail. 15 Then the king of the north shall come and (U)throw up siegeworks and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not stand, or even his best troops, for there shall be no strength to stand. 16 But he who comes against him shall (V)do as he wills, and (W)none shall stand before him. And he shall stand in (X)the glorious land, with destruction in his hand. 17 He shall (Y)set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and he shall bring terms of an agreement and perform them. He shall give him the daughter of women to destroy the kingdom,[c] but it shall not stand or be to his advantage. 18 Afterward he shall turn his face to the coastlands and shall capture many of them, but a commander shall put an end to his insolence. Indeed,[d] he (Z)shall turn his insolence back upon him. 19 Then he shall turn his face back toward the (AA)fortresses of his own land, but he shall (AB)stumble and fall, (AC)and shall not be found.
20 “Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an (AD)exactor of tribute for the glory of the kingdom. But within a few days he shall be broken, neither in anger nor in battle. 21 In his place shall arise a contemptible person to whom royal majesty has not been given. (AE)He shall come in without warning and obtain the kingdom (AF)by flatteries. 22 Armies shall be (AG)utterly swept away before him and broken, even the prince of the covenant. 23 And from the time that an alliance is made with him he shall act deceitfully, and he shall become strong with a small people. 24 (AH)Without warning he shall come into (AI)the richest parts[e] of the province, and he shall do what neither his fathers nor his fathers' fathers have done, scattering among them plunder, spoil, and goods. He shall devise plans against strongholds, but only for a time. 25 And he shall stir up his power and his heart against (AJ)the king of the south with a great army. And the king of the south shall wage war with an exceedingly great and mighty army, but he shall not stand, for plots shall be devised against him. 26 Even those who eat his food shall break him. His army shall be (AK)swept away, and many shall fall down slain. 27 And as for the two kings, their hearts shall be bent on doing evil. They shall speak lies at the same table, but to no avail, for (AL)the end is yet to be at the time appointed. 28 And he shall return to his land with great wealth, but his heart shall be set against the holy covenant. And he shall work his will and return to his own land.
29 “At the time appointed he shall return and come into the south, but it shall not be this time as it was before. 30 For ships of (AM)Kittim shall come against him, and he shall be afraid and withdraw, and shall turn back and (AN)be enraged and (AO)take action against the holy covenant. He shall turn back and pay attention to those who forsake the holy covenant. 31 Forces from him shall appear and (AP)profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And (AQ)they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate. 32 He shall seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action. 33 (AR)And the wise among the people shall make many understand, though for some days they shall stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder. 34 When they stumble, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join themselves to them with flattery, 35 and some of the wise shall stumble, so that they may be refined, (AS)purified, and (AT)made white, until (AU)the time of the end, (AV)for it still awaits the appointed time.
36 “And the king shall (AW)do as he wills. (AX)He shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, (AY)and shall speak astonishing things against (AZ)the God of gods. (BA)He shall prosper (BB)till the indignation is accomplished; for what is decreed shall be done. 37 He shall pay no attention to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women. He shall not pay attention to any other god, for (BC)he shall magnify himself above all. 38 He shall honor the god of fortresses instead of these. A god whom his fathers did not know he shall honor (BD)with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. 39 He shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Those who acknowledge him he shall load with honor. He shall make them rulers over many and (BE)shall divide the land for a price.[f]
40 (BF)“At the time of the end, the king of the south shall attack[g] him, but the king of the north shall rush upon him (BG)like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, and with many ships. And he shall come into countries and (BH)shall overflow and pass through. 41 He shall come into (BI)the glorious land. And tens of thousands shall fall, but these shall be delivered out of his hand: (BJ)Edom and (BK)Moab and the main part of the (BL)Ammonites. 42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 He shall become ruler of the treasures of gold and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt, and the (BM)Libyans and the (BN)Cushites shall follow in his train. 44 But news from the east and the north shall alarm him, and he shall go out with great fury to destroy and devote many to destruction. 45 And he shall pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with none to help him.

11 Daariyus oo reer Maaday ahaa, sannaddiisii kowaad ayaan u istaagay inaan caawiyo oo xoogaysiiyo isaga.
Boqorrada Koonfurta Iyo Woqooyi
2 Oo haatan runtaan kuu sheegayaa, Bal ogow, weliba saddex boqor baa Faaris ka kici doonee, kan afraadna kulligood waa ka wada maal badnaan doonaa, oo markuu maalkiisa aad ugu xoogaysto, ayuu dhammaan boqortooyada Gariigta ku kicin doonaa. 3 Oo waxaa kici doona boqor xoog badan, oo talo weyn ku talin doona, hadba siduu doonayana yeeli doonaa. 4 Oo markuu kaco, ayaa boqortooyadiisu jabi doontaa, waxaana loo kala qaybin doonaa afarta jaho oo samada, laakiin farcankiisa iyo sida dowladnimadiisu ahayd toona looma qaybin doono, waayo, boqortooyadiisa waa la rujin doonaa, oo waxaa yeelan doona kuwo kale oo aan kuwan ahayn. 5 Oo boqorka koonfureed ayaa xoog yeelan doona, oo mid amiirradiisa ka mid ah ayaa ka sii xoog badnaan doona, wuxuuna yeelan doonaa dowladnimo, oo dowladnimadiisuna waxay noqon doontaa dowladnimo weyn. 6 Sannado dabadoodna way isku darsami doonaan kulligood, oo boqorka koonfureed gabadhiisa ayaa u iman doonta boqorka woqooyi inay heshiis la dhigato; laakiinse gacanteedu xoog ma sii yeelan doonto; isaga iyo gacantiisuna sii ma taagnaan doonaan, laakiinse waa la sii dayn doonaa iyada, iyo kuwii keenay, iyo kii dhalay, iyo kii waayahaas iyada xoogayn jirayba. 7 Laakiinse biqil ka baxay jiriddii ay ka soo farcantay ayaa meeshiisa istaagi doona oo u iman doona ciidanka, oo wuxuu soo geli doonaa boqorka woqooyi qalcaddiisa, wuuna ka gees ahaan doonaa iyaga, kolkaasuu ka adkaan doonaa. 8 Oo weliba wuxuu xagga Masar qaadan doonaa ilaahyadooda, iyo sanamyadooda la shubay, iyo weelashoodii wanaagsanaa ee laga sameeyey lacagta iyo dahabka, oo intii dhawr sannadood ah ayuu ka hadhi doonaa boqorka woqooyi. 9 Oo wuxuu iman doonaa boqortooyada boqorka koonfureed, laakiin waddankiisuu ku noqon doonaa. 10 Wiilashiisuna way dagaallami doonaan, oo waxay urursan doonaan ciidan faro badan oo imanaya, oo dhulka qarqinaya, oo dhex maraya, markaasuu soo noqon doonaa oo la dagaallami doonaa ilaa qalcaddiisa. 11 Oo boqorka koonfureed wuu cadhoon doonaa, kolkaasuu soo bixi doonaa oo la dagaallami doonaa boqorka woqooyi, oo wuxuu soo bixin doonaa dad faro badan, dadka faraha badanna isagaa gacanta loo gelin doonaa. 12 Oo dadka faraha badanna waa la qaadi doonaa, qalbigiisuna wuu kibri doonaa; oo tobanyaal kun buu hoos u tuuri doonaa, mase adkaan doono. 13 Oo markaasaa waxaa soo noqon doona boqorkii woqooyi, oo wuxuu soo bixin doonaa dad faro badan oo kuwii hore ka sii badan; oo sannado dabadood wuxuu la iman doonaa ciidan badan iyo maal badan. 14 Oo wakhtigaasna dad badan baa ka gees noqon doona boqorka koonfureed; oo weliba kuwa wax dulma oo dadkaaga ku dhex jira ayaa kici doona si ay riyadu u dhisanto; laakiinse way dhici doonaan. 15 Sidaasuu boqorkii woqooyi u iman doonaa, oo tuulmo buu tuuli doonaa, oo magaalo deyr lehna wuu qaadan doonaa, ciidanka koonfureedna isma hor taagi doonaan, iyo dadkiisa uu doortay toona, oo xoog ay isku hor taagaanna ma jiri doono. 16 Laakiin kan isaga ku kaca ayaa hadba siduu doonayo yeeli doona, oo ninna isma hor taagi doono. Oo wuxuu dhex istaagi doonaa dhulka quruxda leh, gacantiisana waxaa ku jiri doona baabbi'in. 17 Inuu xoogga boqortooyadiisa oo dhan la yimaado aawadeed ayuu wejigiisa u jeedin doonaa, waxaana la jiri doona kuwa qumman, markaasuu siduu doonayo yeeli doonaa; oo waxaa la siin doonaa gabadha dumarka si uu u kharribo, laakiin ma ay istaagi doonto, tiisiina ma ay noqon doonto. 18 Taas dabadeedna wuxuu u jeesan doonaa xagga gasiiradaha, kuwo badanna wuu qaadan doonaa, laakiinse mid amiir ah ayaa caydii uu caayay joojin doona; oo weliba caydiisii isaguu ku celin doonaa. 19 Markaasuu haddana u jeesan doona xagga qalcadaha waddankiisa, laakiinse wuu turunturoon doonaa oo dhici doonaa, lamana heli doono. 20 Dabadeedna waxaa meeshiisii istaagi doona mid ka dhigi doona in cashuurqaade boqortooyada ammaanteeda dhex maro, laakiin dhawr maalmood dabadood ayaa la jebin doonaa, lagumase jebin doono cadho ama dagaal. 21 Oo waxaa meeshiisii qaadan doona mid la quudhsado, oo aan la siinin murwaddii boqortooyada, laakiin wuxuu iman doonaa wakhtiga nabadgelyada, oo boqortooyadana sasabashuu ku qaadan doonaa. 22 Oo iyaga hortiisa ayaa laga xaaqi doonaa, sida daadku wax u qarqiyo oo kale, waana la jebin doonaa iyagii, iyo weliba amiirkii axdigaba. 23 Oo markii wacad lala dhigto dabadeed ayuu si khiyaano ah ku shaqaysan doonaa, waayo, dad yar buu la soo bixi doonaa, wuuna xoog badnaan doonaa. 24 Wakhtiga nabadgelyada ayuu iman doonaa xataa meelaha gobolka ugu barwaaqo badan, markaasuu wuxuu samayn doonaa wax aan awowayaashiis iyo abkowyadiis midkoodna samayn; oo wuxuu ku dhex firdhin doonaa wax la boobay iyo dhac iyo maal: oo intii wakhti ayuu wax qalcadaha ka gees ah ku fikiri doonaa. 25 Markaasuu xooggiisa iyo geesinimadiisa ku kicin doonaa boqorka koonfureed, isagoo ciidan badan wata, boqorka koonfureedna isaguu la dagaallami doona isagoo wata ciidan aad u xoog badan, laakiinse isma uu taagi doono, maxaa yeelay, wax ka gees ah bay ku fikiri doonaan. 26 Oo kuwii quudkiisii cunay ayaa jebin doona isaga, oo ciidankiisuna dalkuu qarqin doonaa, oo kuwo badan baa dhici doona iyagoo la laayay. 27 Oo labadaas boqorba qalbiyadoodu waxay ka shaqayn doonaan belaayo, oo miis keliya ayay been isugu sheegi doonaan; laakiinse ma ay hagaagi doonto; waayo, weliba ugudambaystu waxay noqon doontaa wakhtigii la xugmay. 28 Markaasuu dhulkiisii ku noqon doonaa isagoo maal badan wata, qalbigiisuna ka gees buu noqon doonaa axdiga quduuska ah; siduu doonayo ayuu yeeli doonaa oo dhulkiisuu ku noqon doonaa. 29 Wakhtigii loo xugmay ayuu noqon doonaa oo koonfurtuu iman doonaa; laakiinse wakhtiga ugu dambaysta ma noqon doono sidii kii hore, 30 waayo, doonniyaha Kitiim ayaa soo weerari doona; oo sidaas daraaddeed ayuu u quusan doonaa, oo u noqon doonaa, oo wuxuu u cadhoon doonaa axdiga quduuska ah oo siduu doonayo ayuu yeeli doonaa, oo xataa wuu noqon doonaa, wuuna u fiirsan doonaa kuwa ka taga axdiga quduuska ah. 31 Oo ciidan baa isaga la gees noqon doona, oo waxay nijaasayn doonaan meesha quduuska ah ee qalcadda leh, oo waxay qaadan doonaan qurbaanka joogtada, oo waxay qotomin doonaan waxa baas oo wax baabbi'iya. 32 Oo kuwa wax baas oo axdiga ka gees ah sameeya ayuu sasabasho ku qalloocin doonaa; laakiinse dadka Ilaahooda yaqaan way xoog badnaan doonaan, oo waxyaalo waaweyn bay samayn doonaan. 33 Oo kuwa xigmadda leh oo dadka ku dhex jira, kuwo badan bay wax bari doonaan; laakiinse maalmo badan bay ku dhici doonaan seef, iyo olol, iyo maxbuusnimo, iyo dhac. 34 Haddaba markay dhacaan baa lagu caawin doonaa caawimaad yar, laakiinse qaar badan baa iyagoo sasabanaya ku darsami doona. 35 Oo qaarkooda xigmadda leh ayaa dhici doona, si loo tijaabiyo, oo loo daahiriyo, oo loo caddeeyo, ilaa wakhtiga ugudambaysta, maxaa yeelay, waa weli wakhtigii la xugmay.
Boqorka Oo Is Saraysiiya
36 Oo boqorku siduu doonuu yeeli doonaa; wuuna isa sarraysiin doonaa oo iska weynaysiin doonaa ilaah kasta, oo waxyaalo yaab miidhan ah ayuu kaga hadli doonaa Ilaaha ilaahyada, wuuna iska barwaaqoobi doonaa ilaa ay cadhadu buuxsanto; waayo, wixii la goostay ayaa la samayn doonaa. 37 Umana fiirsan doono ilaahyadii awowayaashiis, ama waxa dumarku jecel yihiin, oo ilaahna uma fiirsan doono, waayo, wuu iska weynaysiin doonaa wax kasta. 38 Laakiinse meeshiisuu ku cisayn doonaa ilaaha qalcadaha; oo ilaah aanay awowayaashiis garanayn ayuu ku cisayn doonaa dahab iyo lacag iyo dhagaxyo qaali ah, iyo waxyaalo fiican. 39 Oo ilaah qalaad caawimaaddiis ayuu wax ku samayn doonaa qalcadaha ugu xoogga badan, oo mid kasta oo isaga aqoonsada wuxuu u kordhin doonaa ammaan; wuxuuna ka dhigi doonaa inay xukumaan kuwo badan, dhulkana abaal buu ugu kala qaybin doonaa. 40 Wakhtiga ugu dambaysta ayaa boqorka koonfureed la dagaallami doonaa isaga, oo boqorka woqooyina wuxuu ugu iman doonaa sida dabayl cirwareen ah, isagoo wata gaadhifardood, iyo fardooley, iyo doonniyo badan, wuxuuna soo dhex geli doonaa waddammada, wuuna qarqin doonaa, oo dhex mari doonaa. 41 Wuxuu kaloo dhex geli doonaa dhulka quruxda leh, oo waddammo badan oo kalena waa la afgembiyi doonaa, laakiin waxaa gacantiisa laga samatabbixin doonaa Edom, iyo Moo'aab, iyo kuwa waaweyn oo reer Cammoon. 42 Oo haddana gacantiisuu waddammada ku fidin doonaa, oo dalka Masarna ma baxsan doono. 43 Laakiinse xoog buu u yeelan doonaa khasnadaha dahabka iyo lacagta ah, iyo waxyaalaha qaaliga ah ee Masar oo dhan. Oo weliba dadka Liibiya, iyo dadka Itoobiyana tallaabooyinkiisay daba geli doonaan. 44 Laakiinse warar bari iyo woqooyi ka yimid ayaa ka welwelin doona isaga, markaasuu isagoo aad u cadhaysan u soo bixi doonaa inuu kuwo badan baabbi'iyo oo idleeyo. 45 Oo wuxuu teendhooyinkiisii boqornimo ka taagi doonaa meel u dhaxaysa badda iyo buurta qurxoon oo quduuska ah; laakiin mar buu dhammaadkiisu iman doonaa; oo ninna ma caawin doono.
Daniel 11
New King James Version
Warring Kings of North and South
11 “Also (A)in the first year of (B)Darius the Mede, I, even I, stood up to confirm and strengthen him.) 2 And now I will tell you the truth: Behold, three more kings will arise in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than them all; by his strength, through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece. 3 Then (C)a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion, and (D)do according to his will. 4 And when he has arisen, (E)his kingdom shall be broken up and divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not among his posterity (F)nor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be uprooted, even for others besides these.
Warring Kings of North and South
5 “Also the king of the South shall become strong, as well as one of his princes; and he shall gain power over him and have dominion. His dominion shall be a great dominion. 6 And at the end of some years they shall join forces, for the daughter of the king of the South shall go to the king of the North to make an agreement; but she shall not retain the power of her [a]authority, and neither he nor his [b]authority shall stand; but she shall be given up, with those who brought her, and with him who begot her, and with him who strengthened her in those times. 7 But from a branch of her roots one shall arise in his place, who shall come with an army, enter the fortress of the king of the North, and deal with them and prevail. 8 And he shall also carry their gods captive to Egypt, with their [c]princes and their precious articles of silver and gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the North.
9 “Also the king of the North shall come to the kingdom of the king of the South, but shall return to his own land. 10 However his sons shall stir up strife, and assemble a multitude of great forces; and one shall certainly come (G)and overwhelm and pass through; then he shall return (H)to his fortress and stir up strife.
11 “And the king of the South shall be (I)moved with rage, and go out and fight with him, with the king of the North, who shall muster a great multitude; but the (J)multitude shall be given into the hand of his enemy. 12 When he has taken away the multitude, his heart will be [d]lifted up; and he will cast down tens of thousands, but he will not prevail. 13 For the king of the North will return and muster a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come at the end of some years with a great army and much equipment.
14 “Now in those times many shall rise up against the king of the South. Also, [e]violent men of your people shall exalt themselves [f]in fulfillment of the vision, but they shall (K)fall. 15 So the king of the North shall come and (L)build a siege mound, and take a fortified city; and the [g]forces of the South shall not withstand him. Even his choice troops shall have no strength to resist. 16 But he who comes against him (M)shall do according to his own will, and (N)no one shall stand against him. He shall stand in the Glorious Land with destruction in his [h]power.
17 “He shall also (O)set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and [i]upright ones with him; thus shall he do. And he shall give him the daughter of women to destroy it; but she shall not stand with him, (P)or be for him. 18 After this he shall turn his face to the coastlands, and shall take many. But a ruler shall bring the reproach against them to an end; and with the reproach removed, he shall turn back on him. 19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fortress of his own land; but he shall (Q)stumble and fall, (R)and not be found.
20 “There shall arise in his place one who imposes taxes on the glorious kingdom; but within a few days he shall be destroyed, but not in anger or in battle. 21 And in his place (S)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 [j]force of a (T)flood they shall be swept away from before him and be broken, (U)and also the prince of the covenant. 23 And after the league is made with him (V)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, [k]spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time.
25 “He shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South with a great army. And the king of the South shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand, for they shall devise plans against him. 26 Yes, those who eat of the portion of his delicacies shall destroy him; his army shall [l]be swept away, and many shall fall down slain. 27 Both these kings’ hearts shall be bent on evil, and they shall speak lies at the same table; but it shall not prosper, for the end will still be at the (W)appointed time. 28 While returning to his land with great riches, his heart shall be moved against the holy covenant; so he shall do damage and return to his own land.
The Northern King’s Blasphemies
29 “At the appointed time he shall return and go toward the south; but it shall not be like the former or the latter. 30 (X)For ships from [m]Cyprus shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and return in rage against the holy covenant, and do damage.
“So he shall return and show regard for those who forsake the holy covenant. 31 And [n]forces shall be mustered by him, (Y)and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation. 32 Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall [o]corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits. 33 And those of the people who understand shall instruct many; yet for many days they shall fall by sword and flame, by captivity and plundering. 34 Now when they fall, they shall be aided with a little help; but many shall join with them by [p]intrigue. 35 And some of those of understanding shall fall, (Z)to refine them, purify them, and make them white, until the time of the end; because it is still for the appointed time.
36 “Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall (AA)exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done. 37 He shall regard neither the [q]God of his fathers nor the desire of women, (AB)nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all. 38 But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. 39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for [r]gain.
The Northern King’s Conquests
40 “At the (AC)time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him (AD)like a whirlwind, with chariots, (AE)horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through. 41 He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: (AF)Edom, Moab, and the [s]prominent people of Ammon. 42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of (AG)Egypt shall not escape. 43 He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow (AH)at his heels. 44 But news from the east and the north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many. 45 And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and (AI)the glorious holy mountain; (AJ)yet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him.
