army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.
[26] Yea, they that feed of the
portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
[27]
And both 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.
[28] 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.
[29] At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be
as the former, or as the latter.
[30] 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.
[31] 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.
[32] 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.
[33]
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.
[34] Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a
little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
[35] 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.
[36] 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.
[37] 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.
[38] 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.
[39] 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.
[40] 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.
[41] 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.
[42]
He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
[43] 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.
[44] 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.
[45]
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.
Dan.12
[1] And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and
there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and
at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
[2] And many
of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame
and everlasting contempt.
[3] And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and
they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
[4] But thou, O Daniel, shut up the
words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be
increased.
[5] Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank
of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
[6] And one said to the man clothed in
linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
[7] And
I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand
and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and
an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things
shall be finished.
[8] And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of
these things?
[9] And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time
of the end.
[10] Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and
none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
[11] And from the time that the daily
