Daniel 11:1-12 And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I was standing for a supporter and for a fortress for him.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I was standing for a supporter and for a fortress for him. ² And now I will declare the truth to you: Behold! Three kings shall stand up in Persia; and the fourth shall be rich in all greater riches. And when he is powerful through his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece. ³ And a mighty king shall stand up and shall rule with great authority and do according to his will. ⁴ And when he stands up his kingdom shall be broken and shall be divided to the four winds of the heavens, and not to his posterity, nor according to his authority with which he ruled. For his kingdom shall be pulled up and given to others besides these. ⁵ And the king of the south shall be strong. And one of his rulers, even he will be strong on him, and he will rule. His rule shall be a great rule. ⁶ And at the end of the years they shall join together, and the king of the south's daughter shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement. But she shall not keep the power of the arm. And he will not stand, nor his arm. But she and those who brought her shall be given up, also her begetter and her supporter in these times. ⁷ But the shoots of her roots will stand in his place, and he shall come to the army and will enter into the fortress of the king of the north. And he will act against them and will show strength. ⁸ And he will also bring their gods with their casted images, with silver and gold vessels of their possessions, into exile to Egypt. And for years he will stand away from the king of the north. ⁹ And the king of the south will come into his kingdom and will return to his own land. ¹⁰ But his sons shall be stirred up and shall gather a multitude of great forces. And one certainly shall come and overflow and pass through. And he will return to his fortress and be stirred up. ¹¹ And the king of the south will be bitter and will go out and fight with him, with the king of the north. And he shall raise a great multitude, but the multitude shall be given into his hand. ¹² And having carried away the host, his heart will be lifted up. And he will cause myriads to fall, but he shall not be strong.
