011:017 He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom,
and with him equitable conditions; and he shall perform them:
and he shall give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her;
but she shall not stand, neither be for him.
011:018 After this shall he turn his face to the islands, and shall
take many: but a prince shall cause the reproach offered
by him to cease; yes, moreover, he shall cause his reproach
to turn on him.
011:019 Then he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land;
but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.
011:020 Then shall stand up in his place one who shall cause a tax

but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger,
nor in battle.
011:021 In his place shall stand up a contemptible person,
to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom:
but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain
the kingdom by flatteries.
011:022 The overwhelming forces shall be overwhelmed from before him,
and shall be broken; yes, also the prince of the covenant.
