King James Version
`And
I ,
in the first year of Darius the Mede, my
standing
`is'
for
a
strengthener
, and for
a
stronghold
to him ;
Also
I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even
I
, stood
to
confirm
and to strengthen
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
.
And now will
I shew
thee the
truth.
Behold
, there
shall
stand
up
yet three kings in
Persia ;
and the fourth shall
be
far richer than they
all :
and by
his strength through
his riches he shall
stir
up all
against
the realm
of Grecia
.
And a mighty king hath
stood
, and
he
hath
ruled
a
great dominion, and hath
done
according to his will ;
And a mighty king shall
stand
up
, that
shall
rule
with
great dominion, and do
according to his will .
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
.
And when
he
shall
stand
up,
his kingdom shall
be
broken, and shall
be
divided toward
the four winds of heaven;
and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which
he ruled :
for his kingdom shall
be
plucked up ,
even
for others beside
those
.
`
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
.
And 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.
`
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.
And in
the end of years they shall
join themselves together ;
for
the king's
daughter
of the south shall
come to
the king of the north to make
an
agreement:
but
she shall
not retain the power of the arm; neither
shall
he stand, nor his arm :
but
she shall
be
given up, and they
that
brought
her, and he
that
begat
her, and he that
strengthened
her in these times.
`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
out
of
a branch of her roots shall
one
stand
up
in his estate
, which
shall
come
with
an
army
, and
shall
enter
into the
fortress
of the king of the north
, and shall
deal
against them, and shall
prevail:
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.
And shall
also carry
captives
into
Egypt
their gods, with their princes, and
with their precious
vessels of silver and of
gold; and he shall
continue
more years than the king of the north.
`And
the king of the south hath
come into the
kingdom, and turned
back
unto
his own land ;
So
the king of the south shall
come into his
kingdom, and shall
return
into
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 shall
be
stirred
up, and shall
assemble
a multitude of great forces :
and one
shall
certainly come, and overflow
, and pass
through :
then
shall
he return
, and be
stirred
up ,
even
to
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 ,
And the king of the south shall
be
moved
with
choler
, and shall
come
forth and fight
with him, even
with the king of the north :
and he
shall
set
forth
a great multitude ;
but
the multitude shall
be
given into his hand .
and he hath carried
away the multitude, his heart is
high,
and he hath
caused
myriads
to
fall,
and
he doth
not become
strong
.
And when
he hath taken
away the multitude, his heart shall
be
lifted
up;
and he shall
cast
down
many
ten
thousands:
but
he shall
not be
strengthened
by
it
.
`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 shall
return
, and shall
set
forth
a multitude greater than the former
, and shall
certainly come after
certain
years
with a great army
and with much riches.
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
.
And in those times there
shall
many stand up against the king of the south :
also
the robbers
of thy people shall
exalt
themselves to establish the vision ;
but
they shall
fall
.
`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
.
So
the king of the north shall
come
, and cast
up
a mount, and take
the
most
fenced cities :
and the arms of the south shall
not withstand
, neither
his chosen
people
, neither
shall
there be
any
strength
to withstand
.
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.
But
he that
cometh
against
him shall
do
according to his own
will, and none shall
stand
before him :
and he shall
stand
in the glorious
land, which
by
his hand shall
be
consumed
.
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 shall
also
set
his face to enter
with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus
shall
he do:
and he
shall
give
him
the daughter of women, corrupting
her :
but
she shall
not stand on
his
side
, neither
be
for 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.
After
this
shall
he turn
his face unto
the isles, and shall
take
many :
but
a prince for
his own
behalf
shall
cause
the
reproach offered
by
him
to cease; without his own
reproach he shall
cause
it to turn
upon
him.
And
he turneth
back
his face to
the strongholds
of his land ,
and
hath
stumbled
and fallen
, and is
not found.
Then
he shall
turn
his face toward
the fort
of his own
land :
but
he
shall
stumble
and fall
, and not be
found.
`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.
Then
shall
stand
up in
his estate
a
raiser
of
taxes
in
the glory
of the kingdom :
but
within
few days he shall
be
destroyed, neither
in anger, nor 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.
And in
his estate
shall
stand
up
a vile
person
, to
whom
they shall
not give
the honour of the kingdom :
but
he shall
come in peaceably
, and obtain
the kingdom by flatteries.
And the arms of the
flood are
overflowed
from before him, and are
broken; and
also the leader
of the covenant.
And with
the arms of a
flood shall
they
be
overflown
from before him, and shall
be
broken; yea,
also the 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
.
And after the
league
made
with
him he shall
work
deceitfully:
for
he
shall
come
up
, and shall
become
strong with
a small
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.
He
shall
enter
peaceably even upon
the fattest
places of the province ;
and he shall
do
that which his fathers have
not done
, nor his fathers' fathers; he
shall
scatter
among
them
the
prey, and spoil, and riches:
yea
, and he shall
forecast
his devices against
the
strong
holds
, even 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 he shall
stir
up his power and his courage
against the king of the south with a great army;
and the king of the south shall
be
stirred
up to battle with a very great and mighty army;
but
he
shall
not stand:
for they shall
forecast
devices against him .
and
those
eating
his
portion of food
destroy him, and his force
overfloweth,
and fallen
have
many wounded
.
Yea,
they
that
feed
of
the
portion of his
meat
shall
destroy him, and his army
shall
overflow:
and many shall
fall
down
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 both of these
kings' hearts shall
be
to do mischief
, and they shall
speak lies at
one
table;
but
it shall
not prosper :
for yet the end shall
be
at the
time appointed.
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.
Then
shall
he return
into
his land with great riches;
and his heart shall
be
against the holy covenant ;
and he shall
do
exploits
, 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 time appointed
he shall
return
, and come toward
the south ;
but
it shall
not be
as the former, or
as the latter.
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.
For
the
ships of Chittim shall
come against him :
therefore
he shall
be
grieved
, and return
, and have
indignation
against
the holy covenant :
so
shall
he
do;
he
shall
even
return
, and have
intelligence
with
them
that
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.
And arms
shall
stand on
his
part
, and they
shall
pollute
the sanctuary of
strength
, and shall
take
away
the daily
sacrifice, and they
shall
place
the abomination that
maketh
desolate
.
And those
acting
wickedly `
against '
the covenant ,
he defileth
by flatteries ;
and
the people knowing
their God are
strong, and have
wrought
.
And such
as
do
wickedly against the covenant shall
he corrupt
by flatteries :
but
the people that
do
know
their God shall
be
strong, and do
exploits
.
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.
And they
that
understand
among
the people shall
instruct
many :
yet
they shall
fall
by the
sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil ,
many
days.
And
in
their
stumbling
, they are
helped
--
a little help ,
and
joined
to them have
been
many
with flatteries.
Now
when
they
shall
fall
, they shall
be
holpen
with
a little help :
but
many
shall
cleave
to them with flatteries.
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.
And some of them of
understanding
shall
fall
, to
try
them,
and to
purge
, and to
make
them
white ,
even
to
the time
of the end:
because
it is yet for a time appointed.
`
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.
And the king shall
do
according to his will ;
and he
shall
exalt
himself, and magnify
himself above
every god, and shall
speak
marvellous
things
against the God of gods, and shall
prosper
till the indignation be
accomplished:
for that that
is determined shall
be
done.
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.
Neither
shall
he
regard
the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor
regard
any god :
for he shall
magnify
himself above
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.
But
in
his estate
shall
he honour the
God
of
forces:
and
a god whom his fathers knew not shall
he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones
, and pleasant
things.
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
.
Thus
shall
he do
in the most
strong
holds
with a strange god ,
whom he shall
acknowledge
and increase
with
glory:
and
he
shall
cause
them to rule over many, and shall
divide
the land
for
gain
.
`
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 ,
And at the time of the end shall
the
king of the south push
at
him :
and
the
king of the north shall
come
against
him
like
a
whirlwind
, with chariots
, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall
enter
into
the countries
, and shall
overflow
and pass
over .
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
shall
enter
also
into the glorious
land, and many countries
shall
be
overthrown:
but
these shall
escape out
of
his hand ,
even
Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children
of Ammon.
`And
he sendeth
forth his hand upon the lands,
and the land of Egypt is
not for
an
escape ;
He shall
stretch
forth his hand also
upon the countries:
and the land of Egypt shall
not 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.
But
he shall
have
power
over the
treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious
things of Egypt :
and the
Libyans
and the
Ethiopians
shall
be
at his steps.
`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
tidings
out of the east and out of the north shall
trouble
him:
therefore
he shall
go
forth with
great fury to destroy, and utterly
to make
away
many .
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.
And he shall
plant
the tabernacles
of his palace between the seas in
the glorious
holy mountain ;
yet
he
shall
come to
his end, and none
shall
help
him.
