⁴⁰ “At the time of the end, the king of the South will engage him in battle, but the king of the North will storm against him^(A) with chariots, horsemen, and many ships. He will invade countries and sweep through them like a flood.^{(B) 41} He will also invade the beautiful land,^(C) and many will fall. But these will escape from his power: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people^[a] of the Ammonites.^{(D) 42} He will extend his power against the countries, and not even the land of Egypt will escape. ⁴³ He will get control over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and over all the riches of Egypt. The Libyans and Cushites will also be in submission.^{[b](E) 44} But reports from the east^(F) and the north will terrify him, and he will go out with great fury to annihilate and completely destroy many. ⁴⁵ He will pitch his royal tents between the sea and^[c] the beautiful holy mountain,^(G) but he will meet his end with no one to help him.
