1
H259
Also I in the first
H8141
year
H1867
of Darius
H4075
the Mede
H5977
, even I, stood
H2388 [H8688]
to confirm
H4581
and to strengthen him.
2
H5046 [H8686]
And now will I show
H571
thee the truth
H5975 [H8802]
. Behold, there shall stand up
H7969
yet three
H4428
kings
H6539
in Persia
H7243
; and the fourth
H6239
shall be far
H6238 [H8686]
richer
H1419
than they all
H2393
: and by his strength
H6239
through his riches
H5782 [H8686]
he shall stir up
H4438
all against the realm
H3120
of Greece.
3
H1368
And a mighty
H4428
king
H5975 [H8804]
shall stand up
H4910 [H8804]
, that shall rule
H7227
with great
H4474
dominion
H6213 [H8804]
, and do
H7522
according to his will.
4
H5975 [H8800]
And when he shall stand up
H4438
, his kingdom
H7665 [H8735]
shall be broken
H2673 [H8735]
, and shall be divided
H702
toward the four
H7307
winds
H8064
of heaven
H319
; and not to his posterity
H4915
, nor according to his dominion
H4910 [H8804]
which he ruled
H4438
: for his kingdom
H5428 [H8735]
shall be plucked up
H312
, even for others beside those.
5
H4428
And the king
H5045
of the south
H2388 [H8799]
shall be strong
H8269
, and one of his princes
H2388 [H8799]
; and he shall be strong
H4910 [H8804]
above him, and have dominion
H4475
; his dominion
H7227
shall be a great
H4474
dominion.
6
H7093
And in the end
H8141
of years
H2266 [H8691]
they shall join themselves together
H4428
; for the king's
H1323
daughter
H5045
of the south
H935 [H8799]
shall come
H4428
to the king
H6828
of the north
H6213 [H8800]
to make
H4339
an agreement
H6113 [H8799]
: but she shall not retain
H3581
the power
H2220
of the arm
H5975 [H8799]
; neither shall he stand
H2220
, nor his arm
H5414 [H8735]
: but she shall be given up
H935 [H8688]
, and they that brought
H3205 [H8802]
her, and he that begat
H2388 [H8688]
her, and he that strengthened
H6256
her in these times.
7
H5342
But out of a branch
H8328
of her roots
H5975 [H8804]
shall one stand up
H3653
in his estate
H935 [H8799]
, who shall come
H2428
with an army
H935 [H8799]
, and shall enter
H4581
into the fortress
H4428
of the king
H6828
of the north
H6213 [H8804]
, and shall deal
H2388 [H8689]
against them, and shall prevail:
8
H935 [H8686]
And shall also carry
H7628
captives
H4714
into Egypt
H430
their gods
H5257
, with their princes
H2532
, and with their precious
H3627
vessels
H3701
of silver
H2091
and of gold
H5975 [H8799]
; and he shall continue
H8141
more years
H4428
than the king
H6828
of the north.
9
H4428
So the king
H5045
of the south
H935 [H8804]
shall come
H4438
into his kingdom
H7725 [H8804]
, and shall return
H127
into his own land.
10
H1121
But his sons
H1624 [H8691]
shall be stirred up
H622 [H8804]
, and shall assemble
H1995
a multitude
H7227
of great
H2428
forces
H935 [H8800]
: and one shall certainly
H935 [H8804]
come
H7857 [H8804]
, and overflow
H5674 [H8804]
, and pass through
H7725 [H8799]
: then shall he return
H1624 [H8691]
, and be stirred up
H4581
, even to his fortress.
11
H4428
And the king
H5045
of the south
H4843 [H8698]
shall be moved with anger
H3318 [H8804]
, and shall come forth
H3898 [H8738]
and fight
H4428
with him, even with the king
H6828
of the north
H5975 [H8689]
: and he shall set forth
H7227
a great
H1995
multitude
H1995
; but the multitude
H5414 [H8738]
shall be given
H3027
into his hand.
12
H5375 [H8738]
And when he hath taken away
H1995
the multitude
H3824
, his heart
H7311 H7311 [H8804]
shall be lifted up
H5307 [H8689]
; and he shall cast down
H7239
many ten thousands
H5810 [H8799]
: but he shall not be strengthened by it.
13
H4428
For the king
H6828
of the north
H7725 [H8804]
shall return
H5975 [H8689]
, and shall set forth
H1995
a multitude
H7227
greater
H7223
than the former
H935 [H8800]
, and shall certainly
H935 [H8799]
come
H7093
after
H6256
certain
H8141
years
H1419
with a great
H2428
army
H7227
and with much
H7399
riches.
14
H6256
And in those times
H7227
there shall many
H5975 [H8799]
stand up
H4428
against the king
H5045
of the south
H1121 H6530
: also the robbers
H5971
of thy people
H5375 [H8691]
shall exalt
H5975 [H8687]
themselves to establish
H2377
the vision
H3782 [H8738]
; but they shall fall.
15
H4428
So the king
H6828
of the north
H935 [H8799]
shall come
H8210 [H8799]
, and cast up
H5550
a bank
H3920 [H8804]
, and take
H4013
the most fortified
H5892
cities
H2220
: and the arms
H5045
of the south
H5975 [H8799]
shall not withstand
H4005
, neither his chosen
H5971
people
H3581
, neither shall there be any strength
H5975 [H8800]
to withstand.
16
H935 [H8802]
But he that cometh
H6213 [H8799]
against him shall do
H7522
according to his own will
H5975 [H8802]
, and none shall stand
H6440
before
H5975 [H8799]
him: and he shall stand
H6643
in the glorious
H776
land
H3027
, which by his hand
H3617
shall be consumed.
17
H7760 [H8799]
He shall also set
H6440
his face
H935 [H8800]
to enter
H8633
with the strength
H4438
of his whole kingdom
H3477
, and upright ones
H6213 [H8804]
with him; thus shall he do
H5414 [H8799]
: and he shall give
H1323
him the daughter
H802
of women
H7843 [H8687]
, corrupting
H5975 [H8799]
her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.
18
H7760 H7725 [H8799]
After this shall he turn
H6440
his face
H339
to the isles
H3920 [H8804]
, and shall take
H7227
many
H7101
: but a prince
H2781
for his own behalf shall cause the reproach
H7673 [H8689]
offered by him to cease
H1115
; without
H2781
his own reproach
H7725 [H8686]
he shall cause it to turn upon him.
19
H7725 [H8686]
Then he shall turn
H6440
his face
H4581
toward the fortresses
H776
of his own land
H3782 [H8738]
: but he shall stumble
H5307 [H8804]
and fall
H4672 [H8735]
, and not be found.
20
H5975 [H8804]
Then shall stand up
H3653
in his estate
H5674 [H8688]
a raiser
H5065 [H8802]
of taxes
H1925
in the glory
H4438
of the kingdom
H259
: but within few
H3117
days
H7665 [H8735]
he shall be destroyed
H639
, neither in anger
H4421
, nor in battle.
21
H3653
And in his estate
H5975 [H8804]
shall stand up
H959 [H8737]
a vile person
H5414 [H8804]
, to whom they shall not give
H1935
the honour
H4438
of the kingdom
H935 [H8804]
: but he shall come
H7962
in peaceably
H2388 [H8689]
, and obtain
H4438
the kingdom
H2519
by flatteries.
22
H2220
And with the arms
H7858
of a flood
H7857 [H8735]
shall they be overflowed
H6440
from before
H7665 [H8735]
him, and shall be broken
H5057
; yea, also the prince
H1285
of the covenant.
23
H2266 [H8692]
And after the league
H6213 [H8799]
made with him he shall work
H4820
deceitfully
H5927 [H8804]
: for he shall come up
H6105 [H8804]
, and shall become strong
H4592
with a small
H1471
people.
24
H935 [H8799]
He shall enter
H7962
peaceably
H4924
even upon the best places
H4082
of the province
H6213 [H8804]
; and he shall do
H1
that which his fathers
H6213 [H8804]
have not done
H1
, nor his fathers
H1
' fathers
H967 [H8799]
; he shall scatter
H961
among them the prey
H7998
, and spoil
H7399
, and riches
H2803 H4284 [H8762]
: yea, and he shall plot
H4013
against the strong holds
H6256
, even for a time.
25
H5782 [H8686]
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 [H8691]
shall be stirred up
H4421
to battle
H3966
with a very
H1419
great
H6099
and mighty
H2428
army
H5975 [H8799]
; but he shall not stand
H2803 H4284 [H8799]
: for they shall plot against him.
26
H398 [H8802]
Yea, they that feed
H6598
of the portion of his food
H7665 [H8799]
shall destroy
H2428
him, and his army
H7857 [H8799]
shall overflow
H7227
: and many
H5307 [H8804]
shall fall
H2491
down slain.
27
H8147
And both
H4428
these kings
H3824
' hearts
H4827 H7451 [H8688]
shall be to do mischief
H1696 [H8762]
, and they shall speak
H3577
lies
H259
at one
H7979
table
H6743 [H8799]
; but it shall not prosper
H7093
: for yet the end
H4150
shall be at the time appointed.
28
H7725 [H8804]
Then shall he return
H776
into his land
H1419
with great
H7399
riches
H3824
; and his heart
H6944
shall be against the holy
H1285
covenant
H6213 [H8804]
; and he shall do
H7725 [H8799]
exploits, and return
H776
to his own land.
29
H4150
At the time appointed
H7725 [H8799]
he shall return
H935 [H8804]
, and come
H5045
toward the south
H7223
; but it shall not be as the former
H314
, or as the latter.
30
H6716
For the ships
H3794
of Chittim
H935 [H8804]
shall come
H3512 [H8738]
against him: therefore he shall be grieved
H7725 [H8804]
, and return
H2194 [H8804]
, and have indignation
H6944
against the holy
H1285
covenant
H6213 [H8804]
: so shall he do
H7725 [H8804]
; he shall even return
H995 [H8799]
, and have intelligence
H5800 [H8802]
with them that forsake
H6944
the holy
H1285
covenant.
31
H2220
And forces
H5975 [H8799]
shall stand
H2490 [H8765]
on his part, and they shall pollute
H4720
the sanctuary
H4581
of strength
H5493 [H8689]
, and shall take away
H8548
the daily
H5414 [H8804]
sacrifice, and they shall place
H8251
the abomination
H8074 [H8789]
that maketh desolate.
32
H7561 [H8688]
And such as do wickedly
H1285
against the covenant
H2610 [H8686]
shall he corrupt
H2514
by flatteries
H5971
: but the people
H3045 [H8802]
that know
H430
their God
H2388 [H8686]
shall be strong
H6213 [H8804]
, and do exploits.
33
H7919 [H8688]
And they that understand
H5971
among the people
H995 [H8799]
shall instruct
H7227
many
H3782 [H8738]
: yet they shall fall
H2719
by the sword
H3852
, and by flame
H7628
, by captivity
H961
, and by spoil
H3117
, many days.
34
H3782 [H8736]
Now when they shall fall
H5826 [H8735]
, they shall be helped
H4592
with a little
H5828
help
H7227
: but many
H3867 [H8738]
shall join
H2519
with them with flatteries.
35
H7919 [H8688]
And some of them of understanding
H3782 [H8735]
shall fall
H6884 [H8800]
, to try
H1305 [H8763]
them, and to purge
H3835 [H8687]
, and to make them white
H6256
, even to the time
H7093
of the end
H4150
: because it is yet for a time appointed.
36
H4428
And the king
H6213 [H8804]
shall do
H7522
according to his will
H7311 [H8709]
; and he shall exalt
H1431 [H8691]
himself, and magnify
H410
himself above every god
H1696 [H8762]
, and shall speak
H6381 [H8737]
marvellous things
H410
against the God
H410
of gods
H6743 [H8689]
, and shall prosper
H2195
till the indignation
H3615 [H8804]
be accomplished
H2782 [H8737]
: for that which is determined
H6213 [H8738]
shall be done.
37
H995 [H8799]
Neither shall he regard
H430
the God
H1
of his fathers
H2532
, nor the desire
H802
of women
H995 [H8799]
, nor regard
H433
any god
H1431 [H8691]
: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38
H3653
But in his estate
H3513 [H8762]
shall he honour
H433
the God
H4581
of forces
H433
: and a god
H1
whom his fathers
H3045 [H8804]
knew
H3513 [H8762]
not shall he honour
H2091
with gold
H3701
, and silver
H3368
, and with precious
H68
stones
H2532
, and pleasant things.
39
H6213 [H8804]
Thus shall he do
H4581
in the strongest
H4013
fortresses
H5236
with a foreign
H433
god
H5234 H5234 [H8686]
, whom he shall acknowledge
H7235 [H8686]
and increase
H3519
with glory
H4910 [H8689]
: and he shall cause them to rule
H7227
over many
H2505 [H8762]
, and shall divide
H127
the land
H4242
for gain.
40
H6256
And at the time
H7093
of the end
H4428
shall the king
H5045
of the south
H5055 [H8691]
push
H4428
at him: and the king
H6828
of the north
H8175 [H8691]
shall come against him like a whirlwind
H7393
, with chariots
H6571
, and with horsemen
H7227
, and with many
H591
ships
H935 [H8804]
; and he shall enter
H776
into the countries
H7857 [H8804]
, and shall overflow
H5674 [H8804]
and pass through.
41
H935 [H8804]
He shall enter
H6643
also into the glorious
H776
land
H7227
, and many
H3782 [H8735]
countries shall be overthrown
H4422 [H8735]
: but these shall escape
H3027
out of his hand
H123
, even Edom
H4124
, and Moab
H7225
, and the chief
H1121
of the children
H5983
of Ammon.
42
H7971 [H8799]
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 [H8804]
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 Cushites
H4703
shall be at his steps.
