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.
