Book 27 : DANIEL - Chapter 011
011:001
And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand
up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far
richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches
he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia
011:002
And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great
dominion, and do according to his will
011:003
And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and
shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to
his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled:
for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside
those
011:004
And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his
princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion;
his dominion shall be a great dominion
011:005
And in the end of years they shall join themselves together;
for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of
the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the
power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she
shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that
begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times
011:006
But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his
estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into
the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against
them, and shall prevail
011:007
And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with
their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and
of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the
north
011:008
So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and
shall return into his own land
011:009
But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a
multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and
overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be
stirred up, even to his fortress
011:010
And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and
shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the
north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the
multitude shall be given into his hand
011:011
And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be
lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he
shall not be strengthened by it
011:012
For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a
multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come
after certain years with a great army and with much riches
011:013
And in those times there shall many stand up against the king
of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt
themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall
011:014
So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and
take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall
not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there
be any strength to withstand
011:015
But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own
will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in
the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed
011:016
He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his
whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do:
and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her:
but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him
011:017
After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall
take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the
reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he
shall cause it to turn upon him
011:018
Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land:
but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found
011:019
Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the
glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be
destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle
011:020
And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they
shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in
peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries
011:021
And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from
before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the
covenant
011:022
And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully:
for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small
people
011:023
He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the
province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not
done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them
the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast
his devices against the strong holds, even for a time
011:024
And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the
king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south
shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty
army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices
against him
011:025
Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy
him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down
slain
011:026
And both of these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and
they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper:
for yet the end shall be at the time appointed
011:027
Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his
heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do
exploits, and return to his own land
011:028
At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the
south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter
011:029
For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he
shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the
holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have
intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant
011:030
And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the
sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily
sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh
desolate
011:031
And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt
by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be
strong, and do exploits
011:032
And they that understand among the people shall instruct many:
yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity,
and by spoil, many days
011:033
Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little
help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries
011:034
And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and
to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end:
because it is yet for a time appointed
011:035
And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall
exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall
speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall
prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is
determined shall be done
011:036
Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire
of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself
above all
011:037
But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god
whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and
silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things
011:038
Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god,
whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he
shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land
for gain
011:039
And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at
him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a
whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many
ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall
overflow and pass over
011:040
He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries
shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand,
even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon
011:041
He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and
the land of Egypt shall not escape
011:042
But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of
silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the
Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps
011:043
But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble
him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy,
and utterly to make away many
011:044
And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the
seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his
end, and none shall help him
