011:004 When he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken,
and shall 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 shall be plucked up,
even for others besides these.
011:005 The king of the south shall be strong, and [one] of his princes;
and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion;
his dominion shall be a great dominion.
011:006 At the end of years they shall join themselves together;
and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king
of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain
the strength of her arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm;
but she shall be given up, and those who brought her,
and he who became the father of her, and he who strengthened
her in those times.
011:007 But out of a shoot from her roots shall one stand up in his place,
who shall come to the army, and shall enter into the fortress
of the king of the north, and shall deal against them,
and shall prevail.
011:008 Also their gods, with their molten images, [and] with their goodly
vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt;
and he shall refrain some years from the king of the north.
011:009 He shall come into the realm of the king of the south,
but he shall return into his own land.
011:010 His sons shall war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces,
which shall come on, and overflow, and pass through;
and they shall return and war, even to his fortress.
011:011 The king of the south shall be moved with anger, and shall come
forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north;
and he shall set forth a great multitude, and the multitude
shall be given into his hand.
011:012 The multitude shall be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted;
and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.
011:013 The king of the north shall return, and shall set forth
a multitude greater than the former; and he shall come on
at the end of the times, [even of] years, with a great army
and with much substance.
011:014 In those times there shall many stand up against the king
of the south: also the children of the violent among your
people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision;
but they shall fall.
011:015 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mound,
and take a well-fortified city: and the forces of the south
shall not stand, neither his chosen people, neither shall
there be any strength to stand.
011:016 But he who comes against him shall do according to his own will,
and none shall stand before him; and he shall stand in
the glorious land, and in his hand shall be destruction.
