THE SOVEREIGNS OF THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH
And I, in the first year of Daryavesh the Maday, I stand to strengthen him and as his stronghold: 2 and now, I tell you the truth: behold, three sovereigns still stand in Persia; and the fourth enriches in greater riches than they all: and by his strength and through his riches he wakens all against the sovereigndom of Yavan: 3 and a mighty sovereign stands who reigns with great reign; and works according to his pleasure: 4 and he stands, and his sovereigndom breaks in half toward the four winds of the heavens: and neither to his posterity nor according to the reign he reigns: for his sovereigndom uproots, - and for others beside these. 5 And the sovereign of the south - even his governors strengthen; and he strengthens above him and reigns: he reigns a great reign. 6 And in the end of years they unite; and a daughter of the sovereign of the south comes to the sovereign of the north to work a straightness: and she retains not the force of the arm; and neither stands he nor his arm: and she is given - she, and they who bring her and he who birthed her, and he who strengthened her in these times. 7 And from a branch of her roots one who stands in his station comes with the valiant and enters into the stronghold of the sovereign of the north; and works against them and prevails: 8 and also carries captives into Misrayim - their elohim with their libations and with their instruments of desire of silver and of gold: and he stands more years than the sovereign of the north: 9 and the sovereign of the south comes into his sovereigndom, and returns to his own soil: 10 and his sons throttle themselves and gather a multitude of valiant: and in coming, they come and overflow and pass through: and he returns, and they throttle themselves to his stronghold. 11 And the sovereign of the south embitters and comes and fights him with the sovereign of the north: and he withstands a great multitude; and the multitude is given into his hand. 12 And he bears away the multitude, and his heart lifts; and he fells myriads: but he strengthens not.
