And now I will reveal the truth to you. Look! Still three kings will arise in Persia, and the fourth will get abundance and great wealth, even more than all of them, and when he becomes strong[a] through his wealth, then he will stir up everyone[b] against the kingdom of Javan.[c] And a mighty king will arise, and he will rule with great dominion, and he will do as he pleases.[d] But as he rises in power,[e] his kingdom will be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, and not according to his dominion by which he ruled, for his kingdom will be uprooted and be given to others besides them.[f]
