    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.

    13 The king of the North will return and raise a greater army than before. After several years, he will come again with a large army and much equipment.

    14 During those times, many will rise up against the king of the South. Violent men among your own people will rise up to fulfill the vision, but they will fall.

    15 So the king of the North will come and build siege ramps and capture a fortified city. The forces of the South will not stand; even their best troops will have no strength to resist.

    16 The invader will do as he pleases, and no one will be able to withstand him. He will establish himself in the Glorious Land, and it will be completely under his control.

    17 He will set his face to come with the power of his whole kingdom, making agreements, and will give a daughter of women in marriage to destroy it. But his plan will not succeed or help him.

    18 Then he will turn his attention to the coastlands and will capture many. However, a commander will put an end to his arrogance and will repay him for his scorn.

    19 Afterward, he will turn back toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall and not be found again.

    20 In his place, one will arise who will send out a tax collector to maintain the royal splendor. In a short time, he will be destroyed, though not by anger or in battle.

    21 Another will arise in his place, a contemptible man who has not been given royal honor. He will seize the kingdom through intrigue and deceit.

    22 Then the armed forces shall be swept away before him and broken, including the prince of the covenant.

    23 After an alliance is made with him, he will act deceitfully. He will rise to power with only a few people.

    24 Entering peacefully into the richest parts of the province, he will do what neither his ancestors nor their ancestors ever did: he will distribute plunder, loot, and wealth among his followers. He will devise plans against strongholds but only for a time.

    25 He will stir up his strength and courage against the king of the South with a large army. The king of the South will prepare for battle with a great and mighty army, but he will not stand, for plots will be devised against him.

    26 Those who eat from his provisions will destroy him; his army will be swept away, and many will fall slain.

    27 Both kings, with their hearts set on evil, will sit at the same table and lie to each other, but their plans will not succeed, for the end will still come at the appointed time.

    36 The king will do as he pleases; he will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will speak astonishing words against the God of gods. He will prosper until the indignation is completed, for what has been decreed will be accomplished.

    37 He will show no regard for the gods of his ancestors, the desire of women, or any other god, for he will magnify himself above them all.

    38 Instead, he will honor the god of fortresses in his place; a god unknown to his ancestors. He will honor it with gold, silver, precious stones, and costly gifts.

    39 He will deal with strongholds using a foreign god. He will honor those who acknowledge him, giving them authority over many people and distributing land for a price.

    40 At the time of the end, the king of the South will engage him in battle, and the king of the North will storm against him with chariots, horsemen, and many ships. He will invade countries, sweeping through them like a flood.

    41 He will also enter the Glorious Land, and many will fall, but Edom, Moab, and the leaders of Ammon will escape from his hand.

    42 He will extend his power over many lands, and the land of Egypt will not escape.

    43 He will gain control over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and all the precious things of Egypt. The Libyans and Cushites will follow in his steps.

    44 But reports from the east and the north will trouble him, and he will set out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many.

    45 He will pitch his royal tents between the seas at the beautiful holy mountain. Yet, he will come to his end, and no one will help him.
