^[1] “As for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him. ^[2] “Now I will show you the truth. Behold, three more kings will stand up in Persia. The fourth will be far richer than all of them. When he has grown strong through his riches, he will stir up all against the realm of Greece. ^[3] A mighty king will stand up, who will rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. ^[4] When he stands up, his kingdom will be broken and will be divided toward the four winds of the sky, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom will be plucked up, even for others besides these. ^[5] “The king of the south will be strong. One of his princes will become stronger than him, and have dominion. His dominion will be a great dominion. ^[6] At the end of years they will join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make an agreement, but she will not retain the strength of her arm. He will also not stand, nor will his arm; but she will be given up, with those who brought her, and he who became the father of her, and he who strengthened her in those times. ^[7] “But out of a shoot from her roots one will stand up in his place, who will come to the army and will enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and will deal against them and will prevail. ^[8] He will also carry their gods with their molten images, and with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, captive into Egypt. He will refrain some years from the king of the north. ^[9] He will come into the realm of the king of the south, but he will return into his own land. ^[10] His sons will wage war, and will assemble a multitude of great forces which will come on, and overflow, and pass through. They will return and wage war, even to his fortress. ^[11] “The king of the south will be moved with anger and will come out and fight with him, even with the king of the north. He will send out a great multitude, and the multitude will be given into his hand. ^[12] The multitude will be carried off, and his heart will be exalted. He will cast down tens of thousands, but he won’t prevail. ^[13] The king of the north will return, and will send out a multitude greater than the former. He will come on at the end of the times, even of years, with a great army and with abundant supplies. ^[14] “In those times many will stand up against the king of the south. Also the children of the violent among your people will lift themselves up to establish the vision, but they will fall. ^[15] So the king of the north will come and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city. The forces of the south won’t stand, neither will his select troops, neither will there be any strength to stand. ^[16] But he who comes against him will do according to his own will, and no one will stand before him. He will stand in the glorious land, and destruction will be in his hand. ^[17] He will set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions. He will perform them. He will give him the daughter of women, to destroy the kingdom, but she will not stand, and won’t be for him. ^[18] After this he will turn his face to the islands, and will take many, but a prince will cause the reproach offered by him to cease. Yes, moreover, he will cause his reproach to turn on him. ^[19] Then he will turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land; but he will stumble and fall, and won’t be found. ^[20] “Then one who will cause a tax collector to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory will stand up in his place; but within few days he shall be destroyed, not in anger, and not in battle. ^[21] “In his place a contemptible person will stand up, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom; but he will come in time of security, and will obtain the kingdom by flatteries. ^[22] The overwhelming forces will be overwhelmed from before him, and will be broken. Yes, also the prince of the covenant. ^[23] After the treaty made with him he will work deceitfully; for he will come up and will become strong with few people. ^[24] In time of security he will come even on the fattest places of the province. He will do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers. He will scatter among them prey, plunder, and wealth. Yes, he will devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time. ^[25] “He will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south will wage war in battle with an exceedingly great and mighty army, but he won’t stand; for they will devise plans against him. ^[26] Yes, those who eat of his delicacies will destroy him, and his army will be swept away. Many will fall down slain. ^[27] As for both these kings, their hearts will be to do evil, and they will speak lies at one table; but it won’t prosper, for the end will still be at the appointed time. ^[28] Then he will return into his land with great wealth. His heart will be against the holy covenant. He will take action, and return to his own land. ^[29] “He will return at the appointed time and come into the south; but it won’t be in the latter time as it was in the former. ^[30] For ships of Kittim will come against him. Therefore he will be grieved, and will return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and will take action. He will even return, and have regard to those who forsake the holy covenant. ^[31] “Forces from him will profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and will take away the continual burnt offering. Then they will set up the abomination that makes desolate. ^[32] He will corrupt those who do wickedly against the covenant by flatteries; but the people who know their God will be strong and take action. ^[33] “Those who are wise among the people will instruct many; yet they will fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder, many days. ^[34] Now when they fall, they will be helped with a little help; but many will join themselves to them with flatteries. ^[35] Some of those who are wise will fall—to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end, because it is yet for the time appointed. ^[36] “The king will do according to his will. He will exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and will speak marvelous things against the God of gods. He will prosper until the indignation is accomplished, for that which is determined will be done. ^[37] He won’t regard the gods of his fathers, or the desire of women, or regard any god; for he will magnify himself above all. ^[38] But in their place, he will honor the god of fortresses. He will honor a god whom his fathers didn’t know with gold, silver, and with precious stones and pleasant things. ^[39] He will deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god. He will increase with glory whoever acknowledges him. He will cause them to rule over many, and will divide the land for a price. ^[40] “At the time of the end the king of the south will contend with him; and the king of the north will come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, with horsemen, and with many ships. He will enter into the countries, and will overflow and pass through. ^[41] He will enter also into the glorious land, and many countries will be overthrown; but these will be delivered out of his hand: Edom, Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. ^[42] He will also stretch out his hand on the countries. The land of Egypt won’t escape. ^[43] But he will have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt. The Libyans and the Ethiopians will follow his steps. ^[44] But news out of the east and out of the north will trouble him; and he will go out with great fury to destroy and utterly to sweep away many. ^[45] He will plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.

King James Version

^[1] Also I in the firstH259 yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the Mede,H4075 [even] I, stoodH5977 to confirmH2388(HiphPtc) and to strengthenH4581 him. ^[2] And now will I shewH5046(HiphImpf) thee the truth.H571 Behold, there shall stand upH5975(QalActPtc) yet threeH7969 kingsH4428 in Persia;H6539 and the fourthH7243 shall be farH6239 richerH6238(HiphImpf) than [they] all:H1419 and by his strengthH2393 through his richesH6239 he shall stir upH5782(HiphImpf) all against the realmH4438 of Grecia.H3120 ^[3] And a mightyH1368 kingH4428 shall stand up,H5975(QalPerf) that shall ruleH4910(QalPerf) with greatH7227 dominion,H4474 and doH6213(QalPerf) according to his will.H7522 ^[4] And when he shall stand up,H5975(QalInf) his kingdomH4438 shall be broken,H7665(NiphImpf) and shall be dividedH2673(NiphImpf) toward the fourH702 windsH7307 of heaven;H8064 and not to his posterity,H319 nor according to his dominionH4915 which he ruled:H4910(QalPerf) for his kingdomH4438 shall be plucked up,H5428(NiphImpf) even for othersH312 beside those. ^[5] And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be strong,H2388(QalImpf) and [one] of his princes;H8269 and he shall be strongH2388(QalImpf) above him, and have dominion;H4910(QalPerf) his dominionH4475 [shall be] a greatH7227 dominion.H4474 ^[6] And in the endH7093 of yearsH8141 they shall join themselves together;H2266(HithImpf) for the king’sH4428 daughterH1323 of the southH5045 shall comeH935(QalImpf) to the kingH4428 of the northH6828 to makeH6213(QalInf) an agreement:H4339 but she shall not retainH6113(QalImpf) the powerH3581 of the arm;H2220 neither shall he stand,H5975(QalImpf) nor his arm:H2220 but she shall be given up,H5414(NiphImpf) and they that broughtH935(HiphPtc) her, and he that begatH3205(QalActPtc) her, and he that strengthenedH2388(HiphPtc) her in [these] times.H6256 ^[7] But out of a branchH5342 of her rootsH8328 shall [one] stand upH5975(QalPerf) in his estate,H3653 which shall comeH935(QalImpf) with an army,H2428 and shall enterH935(QalImpf) into the fortressH4581 of the kingH4428 of the north,H6828 and shall dealH6213(QalPerf) against them, and shall prevail:H2388(HiphPerf) ^[8] And shall also carryH935(HiphImpf) captivesH7628 into EgyptH4714 their gods,H430 with their princes,H5257 [and] with their preciousH2532 vesselsH3627 of silverH3701 and of gold;H2091 and he shall continueH5975(QalImpf) [more] yearsH8141 than the kingH4428 of the north.H6828 ^[9] So the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall comeH935(QalPerf) into [his] kingdom,H4438 and shall returnH7725(QalPerf) into his own land.H127 ^[10] But his sonsH1121 shall be stirred up,H1624(HithImpf) and shall assembleH622(QalPerf) a multitudeH1995 of greatH7227 forces:H2428 and [one] shall certainlyH935(QalInf) come,H935(QalPerf) and overflow,H7857(QalPerf) and pass through:H5674(QalPerf) then shall he return,H7725(QalImpf) and be stirred up,H1624(HithImpf) [even] to his fortress.H4581 ^[11] And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be moved with choler,H4843(HippImpf) and shall come forthH3318(QalPerf) and fightH3898(NiphPerf) with him, [even] with the kingH4428 of the north:H6828 and he shall set forthH5975(HiphPerf) a greatH7227 multitude;H1995 but the multitudeH1995 shall be givenH5414(NiphPerf) into his hand.H3027 ^[12] [And] when he hath taken awayH5375(NiphPerf) the multitude,H1995 his heartH3824 shall be lifted up;H7311(QalPerf/Qere) and he shall cast downH5307(HiphPerf) [many] ten thousands:H7239 but he shall not be strengthenedH5810(QalImpf) [by it]. ^[13] For the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall return,H7725(QalPerf) and shall set forthH5975(HiphPerf) a multitudeH1995 greaterH7227 than the former,H7223 and shall certainlyH935(QalInf) comeH935(QalImpf) afterH7093 certainH6256 yearsH8141 with a greatH1419 armyH2428 and with muchH7227 riches.H7399 ^[14] And in those timesH6256 there shall manyH7227 stand upH5975(QalImpf) against the kingH4428 of the south:H5045 also the robbersH1121 of thy peopleH5971 shall exaltH5375(HithImpf) themselves to establishH5975(HiphInf) the vision;H2377 but they shall fall.H3782(NiphPerf) ^[15] So the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall come,H935(QalImpf) and cast upH8210(QalImpf) a mount,H5550 and takeH3920(QalPerf) the most fencedH4013 cities:H5892 and the armsH2220 of the southH5045 shall not withstand,H5975(QalImpf) neither his chosenH4005 people,H5971 neither [shall there be any] strengthH3581 to withstand.H5975(QalInf) ^[16] But he that comethH935(QalActPtc) against him shall doH6213(QalImpf) according to his own will,H7522 and none shall standH5975(QalActPtc) beforeH6440 him: and he shall standH5975(QalImpf) in the gloriousH6643 land,H776 which by his handH3027 shall be consumed.H3617 ^[17] He shall also setH7760(QalImpf) his faceH6440 to enterH935(QalInf) with the strengthH8633 of his whole kingdom,H4438 and upright onesH3477 with him; thus shall he do:H6213(QalPerf) and he shall giveH5414(QalImpf) him the daughterH1323 of women,H802 corruptingH7843(HiphInf) her: but she shall not standH5975(QalImpf) [on his side], neither be for him. ^[18] After this shall he turnH7760(QalImpf/Qere) his faceH6440 unto the isles,H339 and shall takeH3920(QalPerf) many:H7227 but a princeH7101 for his own behalf shall cause the reproachH2781 offered by him to cease;H7673(HiphPerf) withoutH1115 his own reproachH2781 he shall cause [it] to turnH7725(HiphImpf) upon him. ^[19] Then he shall turnH7725(HiphImpf) his faceH6440 toward the fortH4581 of his own land:H776 but he shall stumbleH3782(NiphPerf) and fall,H5307(QalPerf) and not be found.H4672(NiphImpf) ^[20] Then shall stand upH5975(QalPerf) in his estateH3653 a raiserH5674(HiphPtc) of taxesH5065(QalActPtc) [in] the gloryH1925 of the kingdom:H4438 but within fewH259 daysH3117 he shall be destroyed,H7665(NiphImpf) neither in anger,H639 nor in battle.H4421 ^[21] And in his estateH3653 shall stand upH5975(QalPerf) a vile person,H959(NiphPtc) to whom they shall not giveH5414(QalPerf) the honourH1935 of the kingdom:H4438 but he shall comeH935(QalPerf) in peaceably,H7962 and obtainH2388(HiphPerf) the kingdomH4438 by flatteries.H2519 ^[22] And with the armsH2220 of a floodH7858 shall they be overflownH7857(NiphImpf) from beforeH6440 him, and shall be broken;H7665(NiphImpf) yea, also the princeH5057 of the covenant.H1285 ^[23] And after the leagueH2266(HithInf) [made] with him he shall workH6213(QalImpf) deceitfully:H4820 for he shall come up,H5927(QalPerf) and shall become strongH6105(QalPerf) with a smallH4592 people.H1471 ^[24] He shall enterH935(QalImpf) peaceablyH7962 even upon the fattest placesH4924 of the province;H4082 and he shall doH6213(QalPerf) [that] which his fathersH1 have not done,H6213(QalPerf) nor his fathers’H1 fathers;H1 he shall scatterH967(QalImpf) among them the prey,H961 and spoil,H7998 and riches:H7399 [yea], and he shall forecastH2803(PielImpf) his devicesH4284 against the strong holds,H4013 even for a time.H6256 ^[25] And he shall stir upH5782(HiphImpf) his powerH3581 and his courageH3824 against the kingH4428 of the southH5045 with a greatH1419 army;H2428 and the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be stirred upH1624(HithImpf) to battleH4421 with a veryH3966 greatH1419 and mightyH6099 army;H2428 but he shall not stand:H5975(QalImpf) for they shall forecastH2803(QalImpf) devicesH4284 against him. ^[26] Yea, they that feedH398(QalActPtc) of the portion of his meatH6598 shall destroyH7665(QalImpf) him, and his armyH2428 shall overflow:H7857(QalImpf) and manyH7227 shall fallH5307(QalPerf) down slain.H2491 ^[27] And bothH8147 these kings’H4428 heartsH3824 [shall be] to do mischief,H4827(HiphPtc) and they shall speakH1696(PielImpf) liesH3577 at oneH259 table;H7979 but it shall not prosper:H6743(QalImpf) for yet the endH7093 [shall be] at the time appointed.H4150 ^[28] Then shall he returnH7725(QalPerf) into his landH776 with greatH1419 riches;H7399 and his heartH3824 [shall be] against the holyH6944 covenant;H1285 and he shall doH6213(QalPerf) [exploits], and returnH7725(QalImpf) to his own land.H776 ^[29] At the time appointedH4150 he shall return,H7725(QalImpf) and comeH935(QalPerf) toward the south;H5045 but it shall not be as the former,H7223 or as the latter.H314 ^[30] For the shipsH6716 of ChittimH3794 shall comeH935(QalPerf) against him: therefore he shall be grieved,H3512(NiphPerf) and return,H7725(QalPerf) and have indignationH2194(QalPerf) against the holyH6944 covenant:H1285 so shall he do;H6213(QalPerf) he shall even return,H7725(QalPerf) and have intelligenceH995(QalImpf) with them that forsakeH5800(QalActPtc) the holyH6944 covenant.H1285 ^[31] And armsH2220 shall standH5975(QalImpf) on his part, and they shall polluteH2490(PielPerf) the sanctuaryH4720 of strength,H4581 and shall take awayH5493(HiphPerf) the dailyH8548 [sacrifice], and they shall placeH5414(QalPerf) the abominationH8251 that maketh desolate.H8074(PolePtc) ^[32] And such as do wickedlyH7561(HiphPtc) against the covenantH1285 shall he corruptH2610(HiphImpf) by flatteries:H2514 but the peopleH5971 that do knowH3045(QalActPtc) their GodH430 shall be strong,H2388(HiphImpf) and doH6213(QalPerf) [exploits]. ^[33] And they that understandH7919(HiphPtc) among the peopleH5971 shall instructH995(QalImpf) many:H7227 yet they shall fallH3782(NiphPerf) by the sword,H2719 and by flame,H3852 by captivity,H7628 and by spoil,H961 [many] days.H3117 ^[34] Now when they shall fall,H3782(NiphInf) they shall be holpenH5826(NiphImpf) with a littleH4592 help:H5828 but manyH7227 shall cleaveH3867(NiphPerf) to them with flatteries.H2519 ^[35] And [some] of them of understandingH7919(HiphPtc) shall fall,H3782(NiphImpf) to tryH6884(QalInf) them, and to purge,H1305(PielInf) and to make [them] white,H3835(HiphInf) [even] to the timeH6256 of the end:H7093 because [it is] yet for a time appointed.H4150 ^[36] And the kingH4428 shall doH6213(QalPerf) according to his will;H7522 and he shall exaltH7311(HiplImpf) himself, and magnifyH1431(HithImpf) himself above every god,H410 and shall speakH1696(PielImpf) marvellous thingsH6381(NiphPtc) against the GodH410 of gods,H410 and shall prosperH6743(HiphPerf) till the indignationH2195 be accomplished:H3615(QalPerf) for that that is determinedH2782(NiphPtc) shall be done.H6213(NiphPerf) ^[37] Neither shall he regardH995(QalImpf) the GodH430 of his fathers,H1 nor the desireH2532 of women,H802 nor regardH995(QalImpf) any god:H433 for he shall magnifyH1431(HithImpf) himself above all. ^[38] But in his estateH3653 shall he honourH3513(PielImpf) the GodH433 of forces:H4581 and a godH433 whom his fathersH1 knewH3045(QalPerf) not shall he honourH3513(PielImpf) with gold,H2091 and silver,H3701 and with preciousH3368 stones,H68 and pleasant things.H2532 ^[39] Thus shall he doH6213(QalPerf) in the most strongH4581 holdsH4013 with a strangeH5236 god,H433 whom he shall acknowledgeH5234(HiphImpf/Qere) [and] increaseH7235(HiphImpf) with glory:H3519 and he shall cause them to ruleH4910(HiphPerf) over many,H7227 and shall divideH2505(PielImpf) the landH127 for gain.H4242 ^[40] And at the timeH6256 of the endH7093 shall the kingH4428 of the southH5045 pushH5055(HithImpf) at him: and the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall come against him like a whirlwind,H8175(HithImpf) with chariots,H7393 and with horsemen,H6571 and with manyH7227 ships;H591 and he shall enterH935(QalPerf) into the countries,H776 and shall overflowH7857(QalPerf) and pass over.H5674(QalPerf) ^[41] He shall enterH935(QalPerf) also into the gloriousH6643 land,H776 and manyH7227 [countries] shall be overthrown:H3782(NiphImpf) but these shall escapeH4422(NiphImpf) out of his hand,H3027 [even] Edom,H123 and Moab,H4124 and the chiefH7225 of the childrenH1121 of Ammon.H5983 ^[42] He shall stretch forthH7971(QalImpf) his handH3027 also upon the countries:H776 and the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall not escape.H6413 ^[43] But he shall have powerH4910(QalPerf) over the treasuresH4362 of goldH2091 and of silver,H3701 and over all the preciousH2532 things of Egypt:H4714 and the LibyansH3864 and the EthiopiansH3569 [shall be] at his steps.H4703 ^[44] But tidingsH8052 out of the eastH4217 and out of the northH6828 shall troubleH926(PielImpf) him: therefore he shall go forthH3318(QalPerf) with greatH1419 furyH2534 to destroy,H8045(HiphInf) and utterly to make awayH2763(HiphInf) many.H7227 ^[45] And he shall plantH5193(QalImpf) the tabernaclesH168 of his palaceH643 between the seasH3220 in the gloriousH6643 holyH6944 mountain;H2022 yet he shall comeH935(QalPerf) to his end,H7093 and none shall helpH5826(QalActPtc) him.
