By his wealth, he will gather strength and stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece. 3 Then a mighty king will arise, and he will rule with great authority and do as he pleases. 4 But as soon as he has risen, his kingdom will be broken apart and divided toward the four winds of heaven. It will not go to his descendants and will not have the same authority he ruled with, for his kingdom will be uprooted and given to others. 5 Then the king of the South will grow strong, but one of his officials will become even stronger than him and will rule with great power over his own dominion. 6 After some years, they will form an alliance. The daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to make an agreement, but she will not retain her power, and neither will the king nor his power endure. She, her escort, her child, and the one who supported her will all be surrendered during those times. 7 Out of her family line, someone will arise to take her place. He will attack the forces and enter the stronghold of the king of the North. He will fight against them and prevail. 8 He will also carry off their gods, their metal images, and their precious articles of silver and gold into Egypt. For some years, he will refrain from attacking the king of the North. 9 Then the king of the North will invade the realm of the king of the South but will return to his own land. 10 His sons will prepare for war and assemble a great army. They will sweep through, overflow, and pass on to launch attacks and stir up conflicts as far as the enemy's fortress. 11 Then the king of the South will be enraged and will march out to fight against the king of the North. The king of the North will raise a large army, but it will be handed over to the king of the South. 12 When the army is captured, the king's heart will become proud. Though he will overthrow tens of thousands, he will not remain strong.
