11:1 Also I in the first 259 year 8141 of Darius 1867 the Mede 4075, [even] I, stood 5977 to confirm 2388 8688 and to strengthen 4581 him.

11:2 And now will I shew 5046 8686 thee the truth 571. Behold, there shall stand up 5975 8802 yet three 7969 kings 4428 in Persia 6539; and the fourth 7243 shall be far 6239 richer 6238 8686 than [they] all 1419: and by his strength 2393 through his riches 6239 he shall stir up 5782 8686 all against the realm 4438 of Grecia 3120.

11:3 And a mighty 1368 king 4428 shall stand up 5975 8804, that shall rule 4910 8804 with great 7227 dominion 4474, and do 6213 8804 according to his will 7522.

11:4 And when he shall stand up 5975 8800, his kingdom 4438 shall be broken 7665 8735, and shall be divided 2673 8735 toward the four 702 winds 7307 of heaven 8064; and not to his posterity 319, nor according to his dominion 4915 which he ruled 4910 8804: for his kingdom 4438 shall be plucked up 5428 8735, even for others 312 beside those.

11:5 And the king 4428 of the south 5045 shall be strong 2388 8799, and [one] of his princes 8269; and he shall be strong 2388 8799 above him, and have dominion 4910 8804; his dominion 4475 [shall be] a great 7227 dominion 4474.

11:6 And in the end 7093 of years 8141 they shall join themselves together 2266 8691; for the king's 4428 daughter 1323 of the south 5045 shall come 935 8799 to the king 4428 of the north 6828 to make 6213 8800 an agreement 4339: but she shall not retain 6113 8799 the power 3581 of the arm 2220; neither shall he stand 5975 8799, nor his arm 2220: but she shall be given up 5414 8735, and they that brought 935 8688 her, and he that begat 3205 8802 her, and he that strengthened 2388 8688 her in [these] times 6256.(join…: Heb. associate themselves)(an…: Heb. rights)(he that begat…: or, whom she brought forth)

11:7 But out of a branch 5342 of her roots 8328 shall [one] stand up 5975 8804 in his estate 3653, which shall come 935 8799 with an army 2428, and shall enter 935 8799 into the fortress 4581 of the king 4428 of the north 6828, and shall deal 6213 8804 against them, and shall prevail 2388 8689:(in…: or, in his place, or, office)

11:8 And shall also carry 935 8686 captives 7628 into Egypt 4714 their gods 430, with their princes 5257, [and] with their precious 2532 vessels 3627 of silver 3701 and of gold 2091; and he shall continue 5975 8799 [more] years 8141 than the king 4428 of the north 6828.(their precious…: Heb. vessels of their desire)

11:9 So the king 4428 of the south 5045 shall come 935 8804 into [his] kingdom 4438, and shall return 7725 8804 into his own land 127.

11:10 But his sons 1121 shall be stirred up 1624 8691, and shall assemble 622 8804 a multitude 1995 of great 7227 forces 2428: and [one] shall certainly 935 8800 come 935 8804, and overflow 7857 8804, and pass through 5674 8804: then shall he return 7725 8799, and be stirred up 1624 8691, [even] to his fortress 4581.(shall be…: or, shall war)(return…: or, be stirred up again)

11:11 And the king 4428 of the south 5045 shall be moved with choler 4843 8698, and shall come forth 3318 8804 and fight 3898 8738 with him, [even] with the king 4428 of the north 6828: and he shall set forth 5975 8689 a great 7227 multitude 1995; but the multitude 1995 shall be given 5414 8738 into his hand 3027.

11:12 [And] when he hath taken away 5375 8738 the multitude 1995, his heart 3824 shall be lifted up 7311 8804 8675 7311 8799; and he shall cast down 5307 8689 [many] ten thousands 7239: but he shall not be strengthened 5810 8799 [by it].

11:13 For the king 4428 of the north 6828 shall return 7725 8804, and shall set forth 5975 8689 a multitude 1995 greater 7227 than the former 7223, and shall certainly 935 8800 come 935 8799 after 7093 certain 6256 years 8141 with a great 1419 army 2428 and with much 7227 riches 7399.(after…: Heb. at the end of times, even years)

11:14 And in those times 6256 there shall many 7227 stand up 5975 8799 against the king 4428 of the south 5045: also the robbers 1121 6530 of thy people 5971 shall exalt 5375 8691 themselves to establish 5975 8687 the vision 2377; but they shall fall 3782 8738.(the robbers: Heb. the children of robbers)

11:15 So the king 4428 of the north 6828 shall come 935 8799, and cast up 8210 8799 a mount 5550, and take 3920 8804 the most fenced 4013 cities 5892: and the arms 2220 of the south 5045 shall not withstand 5975 8799, neither his chosen 4005 people 5971, neither [shall there be any] strength 3581 to withstand 5975 8800.(the most…: Heb. the city of munitions)(his…: Heb. the people of his choices)

11:16 But he that cometh 935 8802 against him shall do 6213 8799 according to his own will 7522, and none shall stand 5975 8802 before 6440 him: and he shall stand 5975 8799 in the glorious 6643 land 776, which by his hand 3027 shall be consumed 3617.(glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of ornament)

11:17 He shall also set 7760 8799 his face 6440 to enter 935 8800 with the strength 8633 of his whole kingdom 4438, and upright ones 3477 with him; thus shall he do 6213 8804: and he shall give 5414 8799 him the daughter 1323 of women 802, corrupting 7843 8687 her: but she shall not stand 5975 8799 [on his side], neither be for him.(upright…: or, much uprightness: or, equal conditions)(corrupting: Heb. to corrupt)

11:18 After this shall he turn 7760 8799 8675 7725 8686 his face 6440 unto the isles 339, and shall take 3920 8804 many 7227: but a prince 7101 for his own behalf shall cause the reproach 2781 offered by him to cease 7673 8689; without 1115 his own reproach 2781 he shall cause [it] to turn 7725 8686 upon him.(for…: Heb. for him)(the reproach…: Heb. his reproach)

11:19 Then he shall turn 7725 8686 his face 6440 toward the fort 4581 of his own land 776: but he shall stumble 3782 8738 and fall 5307 8804, and not be found 4672 8735.

11:20 Then shall stand up 5975 8804 in his estate 3653 a raiser 5674 8688 of taxes 5065 8802 [in] the glory 1925 of the kingdom 4438: but within few 259 days 3117 he shall be destroyed 7665 8735, neither in anger 639, nor in battle 4421.(estate: or, place)(a…: Heb. one that causeth an exacter to pass over)(anger: Heb. angers)

11:21 And in his estate 3653 shall stand up 5975 8804 a vile person 959 8737, to whom they shall not give 5414 8804 the honour 1935 of the kingdom 4438: but he shall come 935 8804 in peaceably 7962, and obtain 2388 8689 the kingdom 4438 by flatteries 2519.(estate: or, place)

11:22 And with the arms 2220 of a flood 7858 shall they be overflown 7857 8735 from before 6440 him, and shall be broken 7665 8735; yea, also the prince 5057 of the covenant 1285.

11:23 And after the league 2266 8692 [made] with him he shall work 6213 8799 deceitfully 4820: for he shall come up 5927 8804, and shall become strong 6105 8804 with a small 4592 people 1471.

11:24 He shall enter 935 8799 peaceably 7962 even upon the fattest places 4924 of the province 4082; and he shall do 6213 8804 [that] which his fathers 1 have not done 6213 8804, nor his fathers' 1 fathers 1; he shall scatter 967 8799 among them the prey 961, and spoil 7998, and riches 7399: [yea], and he shall forecast 2803 8762 his devices 4284 against the strong holds 4013, even for a time 6256.(peaceably…: or, into the peaceable and fat, etc)(forecast…: Heb. think his thoughts)

11:25 And he shall stir up 5782 8686 his power 3581 and his courage 3824 against the king 4428 of the south 5045 with a great 1419 army 2428; and the king 4428 of the south 5045 shall be stirred up 1624 8691 to battle 4421 with a very 3966 great 1419 and mighty 6099 army 2428; but he shall not stand 5975 8799: for they shall forecast 2803 8799 devices 4284 against him.

11:26 Yea, they that feed 398 8802 of the portion of his meat 6598 shall destroy 7665 8799 him, and his army 2428 shall overflow 7857 8799: and many 7227 shall fall 5307 8804 down slain 2491.

11:27 And both 8147 these kings' 4428 hearts 3824 [shall be] to do mischief 4827 8688 7451, and they shall speak 1696 8762 lies 3577 at one 259 table 7979; but it shall not prosper 6743 8799: for yet the end 7093 [shall be] at the time appointed 4150.(hearts: Heb. their hearts)

11:28 Then shall he return 7725 8804 into his land 776 with great 1419 riches 7399; and his heart 3824 [shall be] against the holy 6944 covenant 1285; and he shall do 6213 8804 [exploits], and return 7725 8799 to his own land 776.

11:29 At the time appointed 4150 he shall return 7725 8799, and come 935 8804 toward the south 5045; but it shall not be as the former 7223, or as the latter 314.

11:30 For the ships 6716 of Chittim 3794 shall come 935 8804 against him: therefore he shall be grieved 3512 8738, and return 7725 8804, and have indignation 2194 8804 against the holy 6944 covenant 1285: so shall he do 6213 8804; he shall even return 7725 8804, and have intelligence 995 8799 with them that forsake 5800 8802 the holy 6944 covenant 1285.

11:31 And arms 2220 shall stand 5975 8799 on his part, and they shall pollute 2490 8765 the sanctuary 4720 of strength 4581, and shall take away 5493 8689 the daily 8548 [sacrifice], and they shall place 5414 8804 the abomination 8251 that maketh desolate 8074 8789.(maketh…: or, astonisheth)

11:32 And such as do wickedly 7561 8688 against the covenant 1285 shall he corrupt 2610 8686 by flatteries 2514: but the people 5971 that do know 3045 8802 their God 430 shall be strong 2388 8686, and do 6213 8804 [exploits].(corrupt: or, cause to dissemble)

11:33 And they that understand 7919 8688 among the people 5971 shall instruct 995 8799 many 7227: yet they shall fall 3782 8738 by the sword 2719, and by flame 3852, by captivity 7628, and by spoil 961, [many] days 3117.

11:34 Now when they shall fall 3782 8736, they shall be holpen 5826 8735 with a little 4592 help 5828: but many 7227 shall cleave 3867 8738 to them with flatteries 2519.

11:35 And [some] of them of understanding 7919 8688 shall fall 3782 8735, to try 6884 8800 them, and to purge 1305 8763, and to make [them] white 3835 8687, [even] to the time 6256 of the end 7093: because [it is] yet for a time appointed 4150.(try them: or, try by them)

11:36 And the king 4428 shall do 6213 8804 according to his will 7522; and he shall exalt 7311 8709 himself, and magnify 1431 8691 himself above every god 410, and shall speak 1696 8762 marvellous things 6381 8737 against the God 410 of gods 410, and shall prosper 6743 8689 till the indignation 2195 be accomplished 3615 8804: for that that is determined 2782 8737 shall be done 6213 8738.

11:37 Neither shall he regard 995 8799 the God 430 of his fathers 1, nor the desire 2532 of women 802, nor regard 995 8799 any god 433: for he shall magnify 1431 8691 himself above all.

11:38 But in his estate 3653 shall he honour 3513 8762 the God 433 of forces 4581: and a god 433 whom his fathers 1 knew 3045 8804 not shall he honour 3513 8762 with gold 2091, and silver 3701, and with precious 3368 stones 68, and pleasant things 2532.(forces: or, munitions: Heb. Mauzzim, or, as for the almighty God, in his seat he shall honour, yea he shall honour a god, etc)(pleasant: Heb. things desired)

11:39 Thus shall he do 6213 8804 in the most strong 4581 holds 4013 with a strange 5236 god 433, whom he shall acknowledge 5234 8686 8675 5234 8689 [and] increase 7235 8686 with glory 3519: and he shall cause them to rule 4910 8689 over many 7227, and shall divide 2505 8762 the land 127 for gain 4242.(most…: Heb. fortresses of munitions)(gain: Heb. a price)

11:40 And at the time 6256 of the end 7093 shall the king 4428 of the south 5045 push 5055 8691 at him: and the king 4428 of the north 6828 shall come against him like a whirlwind 8175 8691, with chariots 7393, and with horsemen 6571, and with many 7227 ships 591; and he shall enter 935 8804 into the countries 776, and shall overflow 7857 8804 and pass over 5674 8804.

11:41 He shall enter 935 8804 also into the glorious 6643 land 776, and many 7227 [countries] shall be overthrown 3782 8735: but these shall escape 4422 8735 out of his hand 3027, [even] Edom 123, and Moab 4124, and the chief 7225 of the children 1121 of Ammon 5983.(glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of delight, or, ornament)

11:42 He shall stretch forth 7971 8799 his hand 3027 also upon the countries 776: and the land 776 of Egypt 4714 shall not escape 6413.(stretch…: Heb. send forth)

11:43 But he shall have power 4910 8804 over the treasures 4362 of gold 2091 and of silver 3701, and over all the precious 2532 things of Egypt 4714: and the Libyans 3864 and the Ethiopians 3569 [shall be] at his steps 4703.

11:44 But tidings 8052 out of the east 4217 and out of the north 6828 shall trouble 926 8762 him: therefore he shall go forth 3318 8804 with great 1419 fury 2534 to destroy 8045 8687, and utterly to make away 2763 8687 many 7227.

11:45 And he shall plant 5193 8799 the tabernacles 168 of his palace 643 between the seas 3220 in the glorious 6643 holy 6944 mountain 2022; yet he shall come 935 8804 to his end 7093, and none shall help 5826 8802 him.(glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. mountain of delight of holiness)
