25 and he wakens his force and his heart against the sovereign of the south with a great valiant; and the sovereign of the south throttles to war with a mighty great and mighty valiant; and he withstands not: for they fabricate fabrications against him:
26 yes, they who feed of his delicacies, break him; and his valiant overflow and many fall pierced.
27 And the hearts of both of these sovereign vilify; and at one table they word lies; and it prospers not: for yet the end is in season.
28 And he returns to his land with great acquisitions and with his heart against the holy covenant; and he works and returns to his own land:
29 he returns in season and comes toward the south; and not as in the former or as in the latter:
30 for the ships of Kittim come against him: so he is dejected and returns; and rages against the holy covenant: thus he works; and returns; and discerns with them concerning them who forsake the holy covenant.
31 And arms stand up for him and profane the holies of the stronghold and turn aside the continual; and they give the abomination that desolates.
32 And they who declare wicked the covenant he profanes by soothings: and the people who know their Elohim strengthen and work:
33 and of the people who comprehend, many discern: yet they falter by the sword and by the flame by captivity and by plunder - days:
34 and in their faltering, are helped with a little help: and many join them with soothings.
35 And they who comprehend, falter in order to refine them and to purge and to whiten them to the time of the end: because it is yet for a season.
36 And the sovereign works according to his pleasure; and exalts himself and greatens himself above every el and words marvels against the El of elohim, and prospers until the rage concludes: until that appointed is worked.
37 He neither discerns the Elohim of his fathers nor the desire of women; nor discerns any elohah: for he greatens himself above all.
38 And in his station he honors the elohah of strongholds - an elohah whom his fathers knew not he honors with gold and silver and with esteemed stones and desires:
39 thus he works in the fortresses of strongholds with a strange elohah - whom he recognizes and abounds with honor: and he has them reign over many and allots the soil for a price.
40 And at the time of the end the sovereign of the south butts him: and the sovereign of the north comes and whirls him away with chariots and with cavalry and with many ships; and he comes into the lands and overflows and passes over:
41 and he enters into the land of splendor and many falter: and these escape from his hand: Edom and Moab and the first of the sons of Ammon:
42 and he spreads his hand on the lands: and the land of Misrayim escapes not:
43 and he reigns over the hidden treasures of gold and of silver and over all the desires of Misrayim: with the Lubiym and the Kushiym at his paces.
44 And the reports from the rising and from the north terrify him: and he goes with great fury to desolate and to devote many:
45 and he plants the tents of his pavilion between the seas in the holy mountain of splendor; and he comes to his end and no one helps him.
