Daniel 11:3-20

ECB^{(i) 3} and a mighty sovereign stands who reigns with great reign; and works according to his pleasure: ⁴ and he stands, and his sovereigndom breaks in half toward the four winds of the heavens: and neither to his posterity nor according to the reign he reigns: for his sovereigndom uproots, - and for others beside these. ⁵ And the sovereign of the south - even his governors strengthen; and he strengthens above him and reigns: he reigns a great reign. ⁶ And in the end of years they unite; and a daughter of the sovereign of the south comes to the sovereign of the north to work a straightness: and she retains not the force of the arm; and neither stands he nor his arm: and she is given - she, and they who bring her and he who birthed her, and he who strengthened her in these times. ⁷ And from a branch of her roots one who stands in his station comes with the valiant and enters into the stronghold of the sovereign of the north; and works against them and prevails: ⁸ and also carries captives into Misrayim - their elohim with their libations and with their instruments of desire of silver and of gold: and he stands more years than the sovereign of the north: ⁹ and the sovereign of the south comes into his sovereigndom, and returns to his own soil: ¹⁰ and his sons throttle themselves and gather a multitude of valiant: and in coming, they come and overflow and pass through: and he returns, and they throttle themselves to his stronghold. ¹¹ And the sovereign of the south embitters and comes and fights him with the sovereign of the north: and he withstands a great multitude; and the multitude is given into his hand. ¹² And he bears away the multitude, and his heart lifts; and he fells myriads: but he strengthens not. ¹³ For the sovereign of the north returns and withstands a multitude greater than the former; and in coming, comes at the end of times - even years with a great valiant and with much acquisitions. ¹⁴ And in those times many withstand the sovereign of the south: and the sons of tyrants of your people lift themselves to withstand the vision; and they falter. ¹⁵ And the sovereign of the north comes and pours a mound and captures the most fortified cities: and neither the arms of the south withstand, nor his chosen people, neither is there any force to withstand: ¹⁶ and he who comes against him works according to his own pleasure; and no one stands at his face: and he stands in the land of splendor, fully finished by his hand. ¹⁷ And he sets his face to enter with the power of his whole sovereigndom, and with his straight ones; thus he works: and he gives him the daughter of women to ruin her: and neither she stands, nor he. ¹⁸ After this he sets his face to the islands, and takes many: and a commander shabbathizes his reproach of himself and turns his own reproach on him: ¹⁹ and he turns his face toward the stronghold of his own land: and he falters and falls, and they find him not. ²⁰ And in his station stands one who passes an exactor of taxes in the majesty of the sovereigndom: and within one day he is broken - neither in wrath nor in war.
