    17He 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.

    18Then 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.

    20In 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.

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

    25Through his cunning, he will cause deceit to prosper under his hand, and in his own mind, he will exalt himself. During a time of peace, he will destroy many and rise against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be broken, but not by human hands.
