Daniel 11:3-20 Then stands up a master king, he rules a vast dominion and does as is acceptable to himself."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Then stands up a master king, he rules a vast dominion and does as is acceptable to himself." ⁴ While he stands, his kingdom will be broken and divided to the four winds of the heavens, yet not to his kin after him. It will not be as his rule with which he ruled; for plucked up will be his kingdom, even by others besides these." ⁵ Steadfast will be a king of the southland. Due to his chiefs he also will be steadfast over it and rule a vast dominion as his dominion." ⁶ Now at the end of these years they will join:The daughter of the king of the southland will come to the king of the north to make equitable settlements with him. Yet she shall not retain the vigor of the seed, nor shall he stand or his seed. She will be given up--she and those bringing her, also the lady-in-waiting and he who made her steadfast in these eras." ⁷ Yet one stands from the scion of her roots, in his post, and he will come to lead the army. He will come into the stronghold of the king of the north and deal with them and be steadfast." ⁸ Moreover, their Elohim he overturns with their molten images; and their throngs with their coveted furnishings of silver and gold will be bring to Egypt in captivity. Thus he for years will stand over the king of the north;" ⁹ when he comes into the kingdom of the king of the southland he returns to his ground. ¹⁰ Yet his sons shall be stirred up and gather a throng of many armies which comes into the southland, overwhelms it and passes. Yet it shall return and be stirred up unto its strength." ¹¹ Then bitterly embittered shall be the king of the southland; hence he fares forth and fights with him, that is with the king of the north. He also recruits a vast throng, and the throng is given into his hand and borne away is the throng." ¹² High will be his heart when he casts down tens of thousands, yet he will not be strengthened." ¹³ Then the king of the north returns and recruits a throng vaster than the former. Thus at the end of the eras of years shall he come, verily with a great army and much material." ¹⁴ In those eras many hearts shall stand against the king of the southland, the `sons of breaching' of your people will lift themselves up to cause the vision to stand, yet they shall stumble." ¹⁵ Then shall come the king of the north and pour out a siege-work and seize city fortresses. Yet the armed forces of the king of the southland shall not stand nor his `chosen people,' for there is no vigor to stand." ¹⁶ He who is coming against it will do as is acceptable to himself, and there is no one standing before him. Thus he will stand in the stately land which is all in his hand." ¹⁷ Then he shall set his face to come with the might of all his kingdom and equitable settlements shall he make with him. Even a wives' daughter shall he give to him to corrupt her, yet she shall not stand, nor for him shall she be." ¹⁸ Then he will turn back his face to the coastline and seize many places. Thus a captain eradicates his reproach for him, avoiding that his reproach shall turn back to him." ¹⁹ Then he shall turn his face to the strongholds of his own land. Yet he is stumbled and falls and will not be found." ²⁰ Then stands in his post out of his root a royal sprout who has an exactor to pass among the honorable of the kingdom. Yet in some days he will be broken, not in anger and not in battle."
