Berean Standard Bible
`
And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, my
standing
`is'
for
a
strengthener,
and
for
a
stronghold
to him ;
“
And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, stood
up
to strengthen
and
protect
him .
and,
now, truth
I declare
to
thee,
Lo,
yet
three kings are
standing
for
Persia, and the
fourth doth
become
far richer than all ,
and
according
to
his
strength
by his riches
he stirreth
up the
whole,
with
the kingdom of Javan
.
Now then
, I will
tell
you
the
truth:
Three more
kings will
arise
in
Persia, and then
a
fourth ,
who
will
be
far richer than all the
others.
By the
power
of
his wealth,
he will
stir
up everyone
against
the kingdom of Greece
.
And
a mighty king hath
stood
, and
he
hath
ruled
a
great dominion,
and hath
done
according
to
his
will;
Then
a mighty king will
arise
, who
will
rule
with
great authority
and do
as
he
pleases.
and
according
to
his
standing
is his kingdom broken ,
and divided
to
the four winds of the
heavens,
and
not to his posterity
, nor according
to
his
dominion
that
he ruled, for
his kingdom is
plucked
up
--
and for
others apart
from
these
.
But
as
soon
as
he
is established,
his kingdom will
be
broken up
and parceled
out
toward
the four winds of heaven.
It
will
not go
to his descendants
, nor will
it
have
the
authority
with
which
he ruled, because
his kingdom will
be
uprooted
and given
to
others.
`And
a
king of the south --
even
of
his
princes
--
doth
become
strong, and
doth
prevail
against
him,
and hath
ruled;
a
great
dominion
`is'
his dominion
.
The
king of the South will
grow
strong, but
one
of
his
commanders
will
grow
even
stronger
and will
rule
his own
kingdom
with
great
authority
.
`And
at
the
end
of
years they do
join
themselves
together
, and a
daughter of the king of the south doth
come
in
unto
the king of the north to do
upright
things;
and
she
doth
not retain the
power
of the
arm;
and
he
doth
not
stand
, nor his arm;
and
she is
given up, she,
and
those
bringing
her in,
and her child,
and he
who is
strengthening
her in
`these'
times
.
After
some
years they will
form
an
alliance
, and the
daughter of the king of the South will
go
to
the king of the North to seal
the
agreement.
But
his
daughter
will
not retain her
position
of power
, nor will
his strength
endure.
At
that
time
she will
be
given up, along
with
her royal
escort
and her father
and the
one
who supported
her.
`And
`
one '
hath
stood
up
from a
branch
of
her roots,
`
in '
his station
, and
he
cometh
in
unto
the bulwark,
yea,
he
cometh
into
a
stronghold
of the king of the south
, and hath
wrought
against
them
, and hath
done
mightily;
But
one from her family
line
will
rise
up
in his place
, come
against
the army
of the king of the North
, and enter
his
fortress
, fighting
and prevailing.
and
also
their gods, with their princes,
with
their desirable
vessels of silver and gold ,
into
captivity
he
bringeth
`into'
Egypt;
and
he
doth
stand
more
years than
the king of the north .
He
will
take
even
their gods captive
to
Egypt
, with their metal
images
and
their precious
vessels of silver and gold .
For
some
years he
will
stay
away
from
the king of the North ,
`And
the king of the south hath
come
into
the
kingdom,
and turned
back
unto
his own land ;
who
will
invade
the realm
of
the
king of the South and then
return
to
his own land .
and
his sons stir themselves
up ,
and have
gathered
a multitude
of
great forces,
and
he
hath
certainly
come
in
, and
overflowed
, and
passed
through ,
and
he
turneth
back
, and they
stir
themselves
up
unto
his stronghold
.
But
his sons will
stir up strife
and assemble
a great army
, which
will
advance
forcefully
, sweeping
through like
a
flood
, and will
again
carry
the
battle
as
far
as
his fortress
.
And
the king of the south doth
become
embittered,
and
hath
gone
forth
and
fought
with
him,
with
the king of the north, and
hath
caused
a great
multitude
to
stand
, and
the
multitude
hath
been
given
into his
hand ,
In
a
rage,
the king of the South will
march
out
to
fight
the king of the North, who
will
raise
a large
army
, but
it
will
be
delivered
into the
hand of
his
enemy.
and
he
hath
carried
away
the multitude,
his
heart
is high
, and he
hath
caused
myriads
to
fall
, and
he doth
not become
strong
.
When
the army
is carried
off
, the
king
of
the
South
will
be
proud
in
heart
and will
cast
down
tens
of
thousands
, but
he will
not triumph
.
`And
the king of the north hath
turned
back,
and
hath
caused
a
multitude
to
stand
, greater
than the first, and at
the
end
of
the
times
a
second
time
he doth
certainly
come
in
with a great force,
and with
much
substance;
For
the king of the North will
raise
another
army
, larger
than the first, and after
some
years
he will
advance
with a great army
and many
supplies.
and
in those times many do
stand
up against the king of the south ,
and
sons
of
the
destroyers
of
thy
people do
lift
themselves up
to
establish
the vision --
and
they have
stumbled
.
In those times many will
rise
up against the king of the South .
Violent
ones
among
your
own
people will
exalt
themselves in
fulfillment
of
the vision ,
but
they will
fail
.
`And
the king of the north cometh
in
, and
poureth
out
a mount
, and hath
captured
fenced
cities;
and
the arms
of the south do
not stand ,
nor
the
people
of
his
choice,
yea,
there
is
no
power
to stand
.
Then
the king of the North will
come
, build
up
a siege
ramp
, and capture
a
fortified
city.
The forces
of the South will
not stand ;
even
their
best
troops
will
not
be
able
to resist
.
And
he
who
is
coming
unto
him
doth
according
to
his
will, and there
is
none
standing
before
him ;
and
he standeth
in the desirable
land, and
`it
is'
wholly
in his hand.
The
invader
will do
as
he
pleases
, and no
one
will
stand
against
him .
He will
establish
himself
in the Beautiful
Land, with
destruction
in his hand.
And
he setteth
his
face
to go
in
with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright
ones
with him;
and
he
hath
wrought,
and
the daughter
of women
he giveth
to
him ,
to corrupt
her;
and
she
doth
not
stand
, nor
is
for
him.
He will
resolve
to come
with the strength of his whole kingdom, and will
reach
an
agreement
with the king
of the
South.
He will
give
him a
daughter
in
marriage
in
order
to overthrow
the
kingdom
, but
his
plan
will
not
succeed
or
help
him.
`And
he turneth
back
his face to the isles,
and hath
captured
many ;
and
a
prince
hath
caused
his
reproach
of himself
to cease;
without
his reproach he
turneth
`
it '
back to
him.
Then
he will
turn
his face to the coastlands
and capture
many of them.
But
a
commander
will
put
an
end
to his reproach and
will
turn
it back upon
him.
And
he turneth
back his
face
to
the strongholds
of his land, and
hath
stumbled
and fallen,
and is
not
found
.
After
this,
he will
turn
back toward
the fortresses
of his own
land, but
he
will
stumble
and fall
and be
no
more
.
`And
stood
up
on
his station
hath
`
one '
causing
an
exactor
to
pass
over
the honour
of the kingdom ,
and
in
a few days he is
destroyed, and
not in anger ,
nor
in battle.
In
his place
one will
arise
who
will
send
out
a
tax
collector
for
the glory
of the kingdom ;
but
within
a few days he will
be
destroyed, though
not in anger or
in battle.
`And
stood
up
on
his station
hath
a despicable one,
and
they
have
not given unto
him the
honour
of
the
kingdom
, and
he hath
come in quietly,
and hath
strengthened
the kingdom by flatteries
.
In
his place
a despicable person
will
arise;
royal
honors
will
not be
given to
him, but
he will
come in a
time
of
peace
and seize
the kingdom by intrigue
.
And
the
arms
of
the
flood are
overflowed
from
before him ,
and are
broken;
and
also
the
leader
of the covenant.
Then
a
flood of
forces
will
be
swept
away
before him and destroyed,
along
with
a
prince
of the covenant.
And
after they
join
themselves
unto
him, he worketh
deceit,
and
hath
increased,
and
hath
been
strong
by
a few of
the
nation
.
After an
alliance
is
made
with
him, he will
act
deceitfully;
for
he
will
rise
to
power
with
only
a few people
.
Peaceably
even
into
the
fertile
places
of the
province
He
cometh
, and
he hath
done
that
which
his fathers did not
, nor
his
fathers'
fathers;
prey
, and spoil
, and substance,
to
them
he scattereth,
and
against fenced
places
he
deviseth
his
devices,
even
for a time.
In
a
time
of peace
, he will
invade
the
richest
provinces
and
do
what
his fathers and
forefathers
never
did .
He
will
lavish
plunder
, loot
, and wealth
on
his
followers
, and he will
plot
against the
strongholds—but
only
for a time.
`
And he stirreth
up his power and his heart
against the king of the south with
a
great
force
, and
the
king
of
the
south
stirreth
himself
up
to
battle
with
a very great
and
mighty
force,
and standeth
not ,
for
they
devise
devices
against him ,
And with
a
large
army
he will
stir
up his power and his courage
against the king of the South, who
will
mobilize
a very large
and powerful
army
but
will
not withstand
the
plots
devised
against him .
and
those eating
his portion
of
food
destroy him ,
and
his force
overfloweth
, and fallen
have
many wounded
.
Those who
eat
from
his provisions
will
seek
to
destroy him ;
his army
will
be
swept
away
, and many will
fall
slain
.
`
And both
of
the kings '
hearts `are'
to
do
evil, and
at
one
table
they
speak lies, and
it
doth
not
prosper
, for yet
the end `is'
at a
time
appointed.
And the two
kings ,
with
their
hearts bent
on
evil, will
speak lies at
the
same
table
, but
to
no
avail
, for still
the end will
come
at the
appointed time
.
And
he
turneth
back
`
to '
his land with great substance
, and
his heart `is'
against the holy covenant ,
and
he hath
wrought,
and turned
back
to his land.
The
king
of
the
North
will
return
to his land with great wealth
, but
his heart will
be
set
against the holy covenant ;
so
he will
do
damage
and return
to his own
land.
At the appointed time he turneth
back,
and
hath
come
against
the south, and
it
is
not as
the
former,
and
as
the latter
.
At the appointed time he will
invade
the South again
, but
this
time
will
not be
like
the first
.
And
ships of Chittim
have
come in
against him, and he hath
been
pained,
and
hath
turned
back ,
and hath
been
insolent
toward
the holy covenant ,
and hath
wrought,
and
turned
back,
and
he understandeth
concerning
those forsaking
the holy covenant.
Ships of Kittim
will
come against him, and he will
lose
heart.
Then
he
will
turn
back and rage
against
the holy covenant and do
damage.
So
he will
return
and
show
favor
to
those who
forsake
the holy covenant.
And
strong
ones
out
of
him
stand
up ,
and have
polluted
the
sanctuary,
the stronghold,
and
have
turned
aside
the continual
`
sacrifice ',
and appointed
the desolating
abomination.
His
forces
will
rise
up and desecrate
the temple
fortress.
They
will
abolish
the daily
sacrifice and set
up
the abomination of
desolation
.
And
those acting
wickedly
`against'
the covenant, he
defileth
by
flatteries;
and
the people knowing
their God are
strong,
and
have
wrought
.
With
flattery
he
will
corrupt
those who
violate
the covenant, but
the people who
know
their God will
firmly
resist
him
.
And
the
teachers
of
the
people
give
understanding
to
many ;
and
they have
stumbled
by sword ,
and
by
flame, by
captivity,
and
by
spoil
--
days
.
Those
with
insight
will
instruct
many ,
though
for
a
time
they will
fall
by sword or
flame, or
be
captured
or
plundered
.
And
in
their
stumbling
, they are
helped
--
a little help, and
joined
to
them
have
been
many with
flatteries
.
Now
when
they
fall
, they will
be
granted
a little help, but
many will
join
them
insincerely
.
And
some of the teachers
do
stumble
for
refining
by
them
, and
for
purifying
, and for
making
white
--
till
the end
of the time
, for `
it is'
yet
for
a
time
appointed.
Some of the wise
will
fall
, so
that
they
may
be
refined
, purified,
and made
spotless
until
the time
of the end
, for it will
still
come
at
the
appointed time
.
`And
the king hath
done
according
to
his
will ,
and exalteth
himself,
and magnifieth
himself against
every god, and against the God of gods he speaketh
wonderful
things,
and
hath
prospered
till
the indignation
hath
been
completed, for that
which
is
determined
hath
been done
.
Then
the king will do
as
he
pleases
and will
exalt
and magnify
himself above
every god, and he
will
speak
monstrous
things
against the God of gods .
He will
be
successful
until
the time
of
wrath
is
completed, for what
has
been decreed
must
be
accomplished
.
And
unto
the God
of his fathers he
doth
not
attend
, nor to
the desire
of
women, yea,
to
any god he
doth
not
attend
, for
against
all
he magnifieth
himself.
He
will
show
no
regard
for
the gods
of his fathers, nor for
the one
desired
by
women, nor
for
any other
god, because
he will
magnify
himself above
them
all
.
And to
the
god
of
strongholds,
on
his
station
, he giveth
honour;
yea,
to
a god whom
his fathers knew
not he
giveth
honour,
with gold, and
with
silver, and
with
precious stone
, and with
desirable
things
.
And in
their
place
, he will
honor
a god of
fortresses—a
god
his fathers did
not know—
with gold, silver, precious stones
, and riches
.
And
he hath
dealt
in
the fortresses of
the
strongholds
with a strange
god whom
he
hath
acknowledged;
he
multiplieth
honour,
and hath
caused
them to
rule
over many ,
and the ground
he
apportioneth
at
a price.
He will
attack
the strongest
fortresses with the
help
of
a foreign
god and will
greatly
honor
those
who
acknowledge
him,
making
them rulers
over many and distributing
the land
for
a price.
`And
at the time of the end, push
himself
forward
with
him
doth
a
king of the south ,
and
storm
against
him doth
a
king of the north ,
with chariot
, and
with
horsemen, and with
many ships ;
and
he
hath
come
in
to
the
lands
, and
hath
overflowed,
and passed
over,
At the time of the end, the
king of the South will
engage
him in
battle,
but
the
king of the North will
storm
out
against
him
with chariots
, horsemen, and many ships, invading
many
countries
and sweeping
through
them
like
a
flood.
and
hath
come
into
the desirable
land, and many do
stumble,
and
these escape
from his hand: Edom, and
Moab, and the chief
of the sons
of
Ammon
.
He
will
also
invade
the Beautiful
Land, and many countries
will
fall.
But
these will
be
delivered
from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the leaders
of the Ammonites
.
`And
he sendeth
forth
his hand
upon
the
lands
, and the land of Egypt is
not
for
an
escape ;
He will
extend
his power
over
many
countries
, and not
even
the land of Egypt will
escape .
and
he hath
ruled
over
treasures of gold and of
silver ,
and over all the desirable
things
of Egypt, and Lubim
and Cushim
`are'
at
his
steps
.
He will
gain
control
of
the
treasures of gold and silver and over all the riches
of Egypt, and the
Libyans
and Cushites
will
also
submit
to
him
.
`And
reports
trouble
him
out
of
the east and out
of
the north, and he hath
gone
forth
in
great fury to destroy ,
and to
devote many
to destruction ;
But
news
from
the east and the north will
alarm
him
, and he will
go
out
with
great fury to destroy many
and devote them
to destruction .
and
he planteth
the
tents
of
his palace
between the seas
and the holy desirable
mountain, and
hath
come
unto
his end ,
and
there
is
no helper
to him.
He will
pitch
his royal
tents
between the sea
and the beautiful
holy mountain, but
he
will
meet
his end with
no one
to help
him.
