1 H7969 In the third H8141 year H3566 of Cyrus H4428 king H6539 of Persia H1697 a thing H1540 was revealed H1840 unto Daniel, H8034 whose name H7121 was called H1095 Belteshazzar; H1697 and the thing H571 was true, H1419 even a great H6635 warfare: H995 and he understood H1697 the thing, H998 and had understanding H4758 of the vision.

2 H3117 In those days H1840 I, Daniel, H56 was mourning H7969 three H3117 whole H7620 weeks.

3 H398 I ate H2532 no pleasant H3899 bread, H935 neither came H1320 flesh H3196 nor wine H6310 into my mouth, H5480 neither did I anoint H5480 myself at all, H7969 till three H3117 whole H7620 weeks H4390 were fulfilled.

4 H702 And in the four H6242 and twentieth H3117 day H7223 of the first H2320 month, H3027 as I was by the side H1419 of the great H5104 river, H2313 which is Hiddekel,

5 H5375 I lifted up H5869 mine eyes, H7200 and looked, H259 and, behold, a H376 man H3847 clothed H906 in linen, H4975 whose loins H2296 were girded H3800 with pure gold H210 of Uphaz:

6 H1472 his body H8658 also was like the beryl, H6440 and his face H4758 as the appearance H1300 of lightning, H5869 and his eyes H784 as flaming H3940 torches, H2220 and his arms H4772 and his feet H5869 like H7044 unto burnished H5178 brass, H6963 and the voice H1697 of his words H6963 like the voice H1995 of a multitude.

7 H1840 And I, Daniel, H7200 alone saw H4759 the vision; H582 for the men H7200 that were with me saw H4759 not the vision; H61 but H1419 a great H2731 quaking H5307 fell H1272 upon them, and they fled H2244 to hide themselves.

8 H7604 So I was left alone, H7200 and saw H1419 this great H4759 vision, H7604 and there remained H3581 no strength H1935 in me; for my comeliness H2015 was turned H4889 in me into corruption, H6113 and I retained H3581 no strength.

9 H8085 Yet heard H6963 I the voice H1697 of his words; H8085 and when I heard H6963 the voice H1697 of his words, H7290 then was I fallen into a deep sleep H6440 on my face, H6440 with my face H776 toward the ground.

10 H3027 And, behold, a hand H5060 touched H5128 me, which set H1290 me upon my knees H3709 and upon the palms H3027 of my hands.

11 H559 And he said H1840 unto me, O Daniel, H376 thou man H2532 greatly beloved, H995 understand H1697 the words H1696 that I speak H5975 unto thee, and stand H5977 upright; H7971 for unto thee am I now sent. H1696 And when he had spoken H1697 this word H5975 unto me, I stood H7460 trembling.

12 H559 Then said H3372 he unto me, Fear H1840 not, Daniel; H7223 for from the first H3117 day H5414 that thou didst set H3820 thy heart H995 to understand, H6031 and to humble H6440 thyself before H430 thy God, H1697 thy words H8085 were heard: H935 and I am come H1697 for thy words' sake.

13 H8269 But the prince H4438 of the kingdom H6539 of Persia H5975 withstood H259 me one H6242 and twenty H3117 days; H4317 but, lo, Michael, H259 one H7223 of the chief H8269 princes, H935 came H5826 to help H3498 me: and I remained H681 there with H4428 the kings H6539 of Persia.

14 H935 Now I am come H995 to make thee understand H7136 what shall befall H5971 thy people H319 in the latter H3117 days; H2377 for the vision H3117 is yet for many days:

15 H1696 and when he had spoken H1697 unto me according to these words, H5414 I set H6440 my face H776 toward the ground, H481 and was dumb.

16 H1823 And, behold, one in the likeness H1121 of the sons H120 of men H5060 touched H8193 my lips: H6605 then I opened H6310 my mouth, H1696 and spake H559 and said H5975 unto him that stood H113 before me, O my lord, H4759 by reason of the vision H6735 my sorrows H2015 are turned H6113 upon me, and I retain H3581 no strength.

17 H1963 For how H3201 can H5650 the servant H113 of this my lord H1696 talk H113 with this my lord? H6258 for as for me, straightway H5975 there remained H3581 no strength H5397 in me, neither was there breath H7604 left in me.

18 H5060 Then there touched H3254 me again H4758 one like the appearance H120 of a man, H2388 and he strengthened me.

19 H559 And he said, H376 O man H2532 greatly beloved, H3372 fear H7965 not: peace H2388 be unto thee, be strong, H2388 yea, be strong. H1696 And when he spake H2388 unto me, I was strengthened, H559 and said, H113 Let my lord H1696 speak; H2388 for thou hast strengthened me.

20 H559 Then said H3045 he, Knowest H935 thou wherefore I am come H7725 unto thee? and now will I return H3898 to fight H8269 with the prince H6539 of Persia: H3318 and when I go forth, H8269 lo, the prince H3120 of Greece H935 shall come.

21 H61 But H5046 I will tell H7559 thee that which is inscribed H3791 in the writing H571 of truth: H259 and there is none H2388 that holdeth H4317 with me against these, but Michael H8269 your prince.

¹¹

1 H259 And as for me, in the first H8141 year H1867 of Darius H4075 the Mede, H5977 I stood H2388 up to confirm H4581 and strengthen him.

2 H5046 And now will I show H571 thee the truth. H5975 Behold, there shall stand up H7969 yet three H4428 kings H6539 in Persia; H7243 and the fourth H6239 shall be far H6238 richer H1419 than they all: H2393 and when he is waxed strong H6239 through his riches, H5782 he shall stir up H4438 all against the realm H3120 of Greece.

3 H1368 And a mighty H4428 king H5975 shall stand up, H4910 that shall rule H7227 with great H4474 dominion, H6213 and do H7522 according to his will.

4 H5975 And when he shall stand up, H4438 his kingdom H7665 shall be broken, H2673 and shall be divided H702 toward the four H7307 winds H8064 of heaven, H319 but not to his posterity, H4915 nor according to his dominion H4910 wherewith he ruled; H4438 for his kingdom H5428 shall be plucked up, H312 even for others besides these.

5 H4428 And the king H5045 of the south H2388 shall be strong, H8269 and one of his princes; H2388 and he shall be strong H4910 above him, and have dominion; H4475 his dominion H7227 shall be a great H4474 dominion.

6 H7093 And at the end H8141 of years H2266 they shall join themselves together; H1323 and the daughter H4428 of the king H5045 of the south H935 shall come H4428 to the king H6828 of the north H6213 to make H4339 an agreement: H6113 but she shall not retain H3581 the strength H2220 of her arm; H5975 neither shall he stand, H2220 nor his arm; H5414 but she shall be given up, H935 and they that brought H3205 her, and he that begat H2388 her, and he that strengthened H6256 her in those times.

7 H5342 But out of a shoot H8328 from her roots H5975 shall one stand up H3653 in his place, H935 who shall come H2428 unto the army, H935 and shall enter H4581 into the fortress H4428 of the king H6828 of the north, H6213 and shall deal H2388 against them, and shall prevail.

8 H430 And also their gods, H5257 with their molten images, H2532 and with their goodly H3627 vessels H3701 of silver H2091 and of gold, H935 shall he carry H7628 captive H4714 into Egypt; H5975 and he shall refrain H8141 some years H4428 from the king H6828 of the north.

9 H935 And he shall come H4438 into the realm H4428 of the king H5045 of the south, H7725 but he shall return H127 into his own land.

10 H1121 And his sons H1624 shall war, H622 and shall assemble H1995 a multitude H7227 of great H2428 forces, H935 which shall H935 come H7857 on, and overflow, H5674 and pass through; H7725 and they shall return H1624 and war, H4581 even to his fortress.

11 H4428 And the king H5045 of the south H4843 shall be moved with anger, H3318 and shall come forth H3898 and fight H4428 with him, even with the king H6828 of the north; H5975 and he shall set forth H7227 a great H1995 multitude, H1995 and the multitude H5414 shall be given H3027 into his hand.

12 H1995 And the multitude H7311 shall be lifted up, H3824 and his heart H7311 shall be exalted; H5307 and he shall cast down H7239 tens of thousands, H5810 but he shall not prevail.

13 H4428 And the king H6828 of the north H7725 shall return, H5975 and shall set forth H1995 a multitude H7227 greater H7223 than the former; H935 and he shall H935 come H7093 on at the end H6256 of the times, H8141 even of years, H7227 with a great H2428 army H7227 and with much H7399 substance.

14 H6256 And in those times H7227 there shall many H5975 stand up H4428 against the king H5045 of the south: H1121 also the children of the violent H5971 among thy people H5375 shall lift H5975 themselves up to establish H2377 the vision; H3782 but they shall fall.

15 H4428 So the king H6828 of the north H935 shall come, H8210 and cast up H5550 a mound, H3920 and take H4013 a well-fortified H5892 city: H2220 and the forces H5045 of the south H5975 shall not stand, H4005 neither his chosen H5971 people, H3581 neither shall there be any strength H5975 to stand.

16 H935 But he that cometh H6213 against him shall do H7522 according to his own will, H5975 and none shall stand H6440 before H5975 him; and he shall stand H6643 in the glorious H776 land, H3027 and in his hand H3617 shall be destruction.

17 H7760 And he shall set H6440 his face H935 to come H8633 with the strength H4438 of his whole kingdom, H3477 and with him equitable H6213 conditions; and he shall perform H5414 them: and he shall give H1323 him the daughter H802 of women, H7843 to corrupt H5975 her; but she shall not stand, neither be for him.

18 H7760 After this shall he turn H6440 his face H339 unto the isles, H3920 and shall take H7227 many: H7101 but a prince H2781 shall cause the reproach H7673 offered by him to cease; H1115 yea, moreover, H2781 he shall cause his reproach H7725 to turn upon him.

19 H7725 Then he shall turn H6440 his face H4581 toward the fortresses H776 of his own land; H3782 but he shall stumble H5307 and fall, H4672 and shall not be found.

20 H5975 Then shall stand up H3653 in his place H5674 one H5065 that shall cause an exactor H1925 to pass through the glory H4438 of the kingdom; H259 but within few H3117 days H7665 he shall be destroyed, H639 neither in anger, H4421 nor in battle.

21 H3653 And in his place H5975 shall stand up H959 a contemptible person, H5414 to whom they had not given H1935 the honor H4438 of the kingdom: H935 but he shall come H7962 in time of security, H2388 and shall obtain H4438 the kingdom H2519 by flatteries.

22 H7858 And the overwhelming H2220 forces H7857 shall be overwhelmed H6440 from before H7665 him, and shall be broken; H5057 yea, also the prince H1285 of the covenant.

23 H2266 And after the league H6213 made with him he shall work H4820 deceitfully; H5927 for he shall come up, H6105 and shall become strong, H4592 with a small H1471 people.

24 H7962 In time of security H935 shall he come H4924 even upon the fattest places H4082 of the province; H6213 and he shall do H1 that which his fathers H6213 have not done, H1 nor his fathers' H1 fathers; H967 he shall scatter H961 among them prey, H7998 and spoil, H7399 and substance: H2803 yea, he shall devise H4284 his devices H4013 against the strongholds, H6256 even for a time.

25 H5782 And he shall stir up H3581 his power H3824 and his courage H4428 against the king H5045 of the south H1419 with a great H2428 army; H4428 and the king H5045 of the south H1624 shall war H4421 in battle H3966 with an exceeding H1419 great H6099 and mighty H2428 army; H5975 but he shall not stand; H2803 for they shall devise H4284 devices against him.

26 H398 Yea, they that eat H6598 of his dainties H7665 shall destroy H2428 him, and his army H7857 shall overflow; H7227 and many H5307 shall fall H2491 down slain.

27 H8147 And as for both H4428 these kings, H3824 their hearts H4827 shall be to do mischief, H1696 and they shall speak H3577 lies H259 at one H7979 table: H6743 but it shall not prosper; H7093 for yet the end H4150 shall be at the time appointed.

28 H7725 Then shall he return H776 into his land H1419 with great H7399 substance; H3824 and his heart H6944 shall be against the holy H1285 covenant; H6213 and he shall do H7725 his pleasure, and return H776 to his own land.

29 H4150 At the time appointed H7725 he shall return, H935 and come H5045 into the south; H314 but it shall not be in the latter H7223 time as it was in the former.

30 H6716 For ships H3794 of Kittim H935 shall come H3512 against him; therefore he shall be grieved, H7725 and shall return, H2194 and have indignation H6944 against the holy H1285 covenant, H6213 and shall do H7725 his pleasure: he shall even return, H995 and have regard H5800 unto them that forsake H6944 the holy H1285 covenant.

31 H2220 And forces H5975 shall stand H2490 on his part, and they shall profane H4720 the sanctuary, H4581 even the fortress, H5493 and shall take away H8548 the continual H5414 burnt-offering, and they shall set H8251 up the abomination H8074 that maketh desolate.

32 H7561 And such as do wickedly H1285 against the covenant H2610 shall he pervert H2514 by flatteries; H5971 but the people H3045 that know H430 their God H2388 shall be strong, H6213 and do exploits.

33 H7919 And they that are wise H5971 among the people H995 shall instruct H7227 many; H3782 yet they shall fall H2719 by the sword H3852 and by flame, H7628 by captivity H961 and by spoil, H3117 many days.

34 H3782 Now when they shall fall, H5826 they shall be helped H4592 with a little H5828 help; H7227 but many H3867 shall join H2519 themselves unto them with flatteries.

35 H7919 And some of them that are wise H3782 shall fall, H6884 to refine H1305 them, and to purify, H3835 and to make them white, H6256 even to the time H7093 of the end; H4150 because it is yet for the time appointed.

36 H4428 And the king H6213 shall do H7522 according to his will; H7311 and he shall exalt H1431 himself, and magnify H410 himself above every god, H1696 and shall speak H6381 marvellous things H410 against the God H410 of gods; H6743 and he shall prosper H2195 till the indignation H3615 be accomplished; H2782 for that which is determined H6213 shall be done.

37 H995 Neither shall he regard H430 the gods H1 of his fathers, H2532 nor the desire H802 of women, H995 nor regard H433 any god; H1431 for he shall magnify himself above all.

38 H3653 But in his place H3513 shall he honor H433 the god H4581 of fortresses; H433 and a god H1 whom his fathers H3045 knew H3513 not shall he honor H2091 with gold, H3701 and silver, H3368 and with precious H68 stones, H2532 and pleasant things.

39 H6213 And he shall deal H4581 with the strongest H4013 fortresses H5236 by the help of a foreign H433 god: H5234 whosoever acknowledgeth H7235 him he will increase H3519 with glory; H4910 and he shall cause them to rule H7227 over many, H2505 and shall divide H127 the land H4242 for a price.

40 H6256 And at the time H7093 of the end H4428 shall the king H5045 of the south H5055 contend H4428 with him; and the king H6828 of the north H8175 shall come against him like a whirlwind, H7393 with chariots, H6571 and with horsemen, H7227 and with many H591 ships; H935 and he shall enter H776 into the countries, H7857 and shall overflow H5674 and pass through.

41 H935 He shall enter H6643 also into the glorious H776 land, H7227 and many H3782 countries shall be overthrown; H4422 but these shall be delivered H3027 out of his hand: H123 Edom, H4124 and Moab, H7225 and the chief H1121 of the children H5983 of Ammon.

42 H7971 He shall stretch forth H3027 his hand H776 also upon the countries; H776 and the land H4714 of Egypt H6413 shall not escape.

43 H4910 But he shall have power H4362 over the treasures H2091 of gold H3701 and of silver, H2532 and over all the precious H4714 things of Egypt; H3864 and the Libyans H3569 and the Ethiopians H4703 shall be at his steps.

44 H8052 But tidings H4217 out of the east H6828 and out of the north H926 shall trouble H3318 him; and he shall go forth H1419 with great H2534 fury H8045 to destroy H2763 and utterly to sweep away H7227 many.

45 H5193 And he shall plant H168 the tents H643 of his palace H3220 between the sea H6643 and the glorious H6944 holy H2022 mountain; H935 yet he shall come H7093 to his end, H5826 and none shall help him.
