King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
Also I in the firstH259 yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the MedeH4075, even I, stoodH5977 to confirmH2388 and to strengthenH4581 him.
And now will I shewH5046 thee the truthH571. Behold, there shall stand upH5975 yet threeH7969 kingsH4428 in PersiaH6539; and the fourthH7243 shall be farH6239 richerH6238 than they allH1419: and by his strengthH2393 through his richesH6239 he shall stir upH5782 all against the realmH4438 of GreciaH3120.
AndG2532 heG846 gaveG1325 someG3303, apostlesG652; andG1161 some, prophetsG4396; andG1161 some, evangelistsG2099; andG1161 some, pastorsG4166 andG2532 teachersG1320;
AndG1161 PhilipG5376 ranG4370 thither to him, and heardG191 himG846 readG314 the prophetG4396 EsaiasG2268, andG2532 saidG2036, Understandest thouG687+G1065+G1097 whatG3739 thou readestG314?
AndG1161 he saidG2036, HowG1063+G4459 can IG302+G1410, exceptG3362 some manG5100 should guideG3594 meG3165? AndG5037 he desiredG3870 PhilipG5376 that he would come upG305 and sitG2523 withG4862 himG846.
TheseG3778 wereG2258 more nobleG2104 than those inG1722 ThessalonicaG2332, in that theyG3748 receivedG1209 the wordG3056 withG3326 allG3956 readiness of mindG4288, and searchedG350 the scripturesG1124 dailyG2250+G2596, whetherG1487 those thingsG5023 wereG2192 soG3779.
Also I in the firstH259 yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the MedeH4075, even I, stoodH5977 to confirmH2388 and to strengthenH4581 him.
And now will I shewH5046 thee the truthH571. Behold, there shall stand upH5975 yet threeH7969 kingsH4428 in PersiaH6539; and the fourthH7243 shall be farH6239 richerH6238 than they allH1419: and by his strengthH2393 through his richesH6239 he shall stir upH5782 all against the realmH4438 of GreciaH3120.
And a mightyH1368 kingH4428 shall stand upH5975, that shall ruleH4910 with greatH7227 dominionH4474, and doH6213 according to his willH7522.
And when he shall stand upH5975, his kingdomH4438 shall be brokenH7665, and shall be dividedH2673 toward the fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064; and not to his posterityH319, nor according to his dominionH4915 which he ruledH4910: for his kingdomH4438 shall be plucked upH5428, even for othersH312 beside those.
And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be strongH2388, and one of his princesH8269; and he shall be strongH2388 above him, and have dominionH4910; his dominionH4475 shall be a greatH7227 dominionH4474.
And in the endH7093 of yearsH8141 they shall join themselves togetherH2266; for the king'sH4428 daughterH1323 of the southH5045 shall comeH935 to the kingH4428 of the northH6828 to makeH6213 an agreementH4339: but she shall not retainH6113 the powerH3581 of the armH2220; neither shall he standH5975, nor his armH2220: but she shall be given upH5414, and they that broughtH935 her, and he that begatH3205 her, and he that strengthenedH2388 her in these timesH6256. {join…: Heb. associate themselves} {an…: Heb. rights} {he that begat…: or, whom she brought forth}
But out of a branchH5342 of her rootsH8328 shall one stand upH5975 in his estateH3653, which shall comeH935 with an armyH2428, and shall enterH935 into the fortressH4581 of the kingH4428 of the northH6828, and shall dealH6213 against them, and shall prevailH2388: {in…: or, in his place, or, office}
And shall also carryH935 captivesH7628 into EgyptH4714 their godsH430, with their princesH5257, and with their preciousH2532 vesselsH3627 of silverH3701 and of goldH2091; and he shall continueH5975 more yearsH8141 than the kingH4428 of the northH6828. {their precious…: Heb. vessels of their desire}
So the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall comeH935 into his kingdomH4438, and shall returnH7725 into his own landH127.
But his sonsH1121 shall be stirred upH1624, and shall assembleH622 a multitudeH1995 of greatH7227 forcesH2428: and one shall certainlyH935 comeH935, and overflowH7857, and pass throughH5674: then shall he returnH7725, and be stirred upH1624, even to his fortressH4581. {shall be…: or, shall war} {return…: or, be stirred up again}
And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be moved with cholerH4843, and shall come forthH3318 and fightH3898 with him, even with the kingH4428 of the northH6828: and he shall set forthH5975 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995; but the multitudeH1995 shall be givenH5414 into his handH3027.
And when he hath taken awayH5375 the multitudeH1995, his heartH3824 shall be lifted upH7311+H7311; and he shall cast downH5307 many ten thousandsH7239: but he shall not be strengthenedH5810 by it.
For the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall returnH7725, and shall set forthH5975 a multitudeH1995 greaterH7227 than the formerH7223, and shall certainlyH935 comeH935 afterH7093 certainH6256 yearsH8141 with a greatH1419 armyH2428 and with muchH7227 richesH7399. {after…: Heb. at the end of times, even years}
And in those timesH6256 there shall manyH7227 stand upH5975 against the kingH4428 of the southH5045: also the robbersH1121+H6530 of thy peopleH5971 shall exaltH5375 themselves to establishH5975 the visionH2377; but they shall fallH3782. {the robbers: Heb. the children of robbers}
So the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall comeH935, and cast upH8210 a mountH5550, and takeH3920 the most fencedH4013 citiesH5892: and the armsH2220 of the southH5045 shall not withstandH5975, neither his chosenH4005 peopleH5971, neither shall there be any strengthH3581 to withstandH5975. {the most…: Heb. the city of munitions} {his…: Heb. the people of his choices}
But he that comethH935 against him shall doH6213 according to his own willH7522, and none shall standH5975 beforeH6440 him: and he shall standH5975 in the gloriousH6643 landH776, which by his handH3027 shall be consumedH3617. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of ornament}
He shall also setH7760 his faceH6440 to enterH935 with the strengthH8633 of his whole kingdomH4438, and upright onesH3477 with him; thus shall he doH6213: and he shall giveH5414 him the daughterH1323 of womenH802, corruptingH7843 her: but she shall not standH5975 on his side, neither be for him. {upright…: or, much uprightness: or, equal conditions} {corrupting: Heb. to corrupt}
After this shall he turnH7760+H7725 his faceH6440 unto the islesH339, and shall takeH3920 manyH7227: but a princeH7101 for his own behalf shall cause the reproachH2781 offered by him to ceaseH7673; withoutH1115 his own reproachH2781 he shall cause it to turnH7725 upon him. {for…: Heb. for him} {the reproach…: Heb. his reproach}
Then he shall turnH7725 his faceH6440 toward the fortH4581 of his own landH776: but he shall stumbleH3782 and fallH5307, and not be foundH4672.
Then shall stand upH5975 in his estateH3653 a raiserH5674 of taxesH5065 in the gloryH1925 of the kingdomH4438: but within fewH259 daysH3117 he shall be destroyedH7665, neither in angerH639, nor in battleH4421. {estate: or, place} {a…: Heb. one that causeth an exacter to pass over} {anger: Heb. angers}
And in his estateH3653 shall stand upH5975 a vile personH959, to whom they shall not giveH5414 the honourH1935 of the kingdomH4438: but he shall comeH935 in peaceablyH7962, and obtainH2388 the kingdomH4438 by flatteriesH2519. {estate: or, place}
And with the armsH2220 of a floodH7858 shall they be overflownH7857 from beforeH6440 him, and shall be brokenH7665; yea, also the princeH5057 of the covenantH1285.
And after the leagueH2266 made with him he shall workH6213 deceitfullyH4820: for he shall come upH5927, and shall become strongH6105 with a smallH4592 peopleH1471.
He shall enterH935 peaceablyH7962 even upon the fattest placesH4924 of the provinceH4082; and he shall doH6213 that which his fathersH1 have not doneH6213, nor his fathers'H1 fathersH1; he shall scatterH967 among them the preyH961, and spoilH7998, and richesH7399: yea, and he shall forecastH2803 his devicesH4284 against the strong holdsH4013, even for a timeH6256. {peaceably…: or, into the peaceable and fat, etc} {forecast…: Heb. think his thoughts}
And he shall stir upH5782 his powerH3581 and his courageH3824 against the kingH4428 of the southH5045 with a greatH1419 armyH2428; and the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be stirred upH1624 to battleH4421 with a veryH3966 greatH1419 and mightyH6099 armyH2428; but he shall not standH5975: for they shall forecastH2803 devicesH4284 against him.
Yea, they that feedH398 of the portion of his meatH6598 shall destroyH7665 him, and his armyH2428 shall overflowH7857: and manyH7227 shall fallH5307 down slainH2491.
And bothH8147 these kings'H4428 heartsH3824 shall be to do mischiefH4827+H7451, and they shall speakH1696 liesH3577 at oneH259 tableH7979; but it shall not prosperH6743: for yet the endH7093 shall be at the time appointedH4150. {hearts: Heb. their hearts}
Then shall he returnH7725 into his landH776 with greatH1419 richesH7399; and his heartH3824 shall be against the holyH6944 covenantH1285; and he shall doH6213 exploits, and returnH7725 to his own landH776.
At the time appointedH4150 he shall returnH7725, and comeH935 toward the southH5045; but it shall not be as the formerH7223, or as the latterH314.
For the shipsH6716 of ChittimH3794 shall comeH935 against him: therefore he shall be grievedH3512, and returnH7725, and have indignationH2194 against the holyH6944 covenantH1285: so shall he doH6213; he shall even returnH7725, and have intelligenceH995 with them that forsakeH5800 the holyH6944 covenantH1285.
And armsH2220 shall standH5975 on his part, and they shall polluteH2490 the sanctuaryH4720 of strengthH4581, and shall take awayH5493 the dailyH8548 sacrifice, and they shall placeH5414 the abominationH8251 that maketh desolateH8074. {maketh…: or, astonisheth}
And such as do wickedlyH7561 against the covenantH1285 shall he corruptH2610 by flatteriesH2514: but the peopleH5971 that do knowH3045 their GodH430 shall be strongH2388, and doH6213 exploits. {corrupt: or, cause to dissemble}
And they that understandH7919 among the peopleH5971 shall instructH995 manyH7227: yet they shall fallH3782 by the swordH2719, and by flameH3852, by captivityH7628, and by spoilH961, many daysH3117.
Now when they shall fallH3782, they shall be holpenH5826 with a littleH4592 helpH5828: but manyH7227 shall cleaveH3867 to them with flatteriesH2519.
And some of them of understandingH7919 shall fallH3782, to tryH6884 them, and to purgeH1305, and to make them whiteH3835, even to the timeH6256 of the endH7093: because it is yet for a time appointedH4150. {try them: or, try by them}
And the kingH4428 shall doH6213 according to his willH7522; and he shall exaltH7311 himself, and magnifyH1431 himself above every godH410, and shall speakH1696 marvellous thingsH6381 against the GodH410 of godsH410, and shall prosperH6743 till the indignationH2195 be accomplishedH3615: for that that is determinedH2782 shall be doneH6213.
Neither shall he regardH995 the GodH430 of his fathersH1, nor the desireH2532 of womenH802, nor regardH995 any godH433: for he shall magnifyH1431 himself above all.
But in his estateH3653 shall he honourH3513 the GodH433 of forcesH4581: and a godH433 whom his fathersH1 knewH3045 not shall he honourH3513 with goldH2091, and silverH3701, and with preciousH3368 stonesH68, and pleasant thingsH2532. {forces: or, munitions: Heb. Mauzzim, or, as for the almighty God, in his seat he shall honour, yea he shall honour a god, etc} {pleasant: Heb. things desired}
Thus shall he doH6213 in the most strongH4581 holdsH4013 with a strangeH5236 godH433, whom he shall acknowledgeH5234+H5234 and increaseH7235 with gloryH3519: and he shall cause them to ruleH4910 over manyH7227, and shall divideH2505 the landH127 for gainH4242. {most…: Heb. fortresses of munitions} {gain: Heb. a price}
And at the timeH6256 of the endH7093 shall the kingH4428 of the southH5045 pushH5055 at him: and the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall come against him like a whirlwindH8175, with chariotsH7393, and with horsemenH6571, and with manyH7227 shipsH591; and he shall enterH935 into the countriesH776, and shall overflowH7857 and pass overH5674.
He shall enterH935 also into the gloriousH6643 landH776, and manyH7227 countries shall be overthrownH3782: but these shall escapeH4422 out of his handH3027, even EdomH123, and MoabH4124, and the chiefH7225 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of delight, or, ornament}
He shall stretch forthH7971 his handH3027 also upon the countriesH776: and the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall not escapeH6413. {stretch…: Heb. send forth}
But he shall have powerH4910 over the treasuresH4362 of goldH2091 and of silverH3701, and over all the preciousH2532 things of EgyptH4714: and the LibyansH3864 and the EthiopiansH3569 shall be at his stepsH4703.
But tidingsH8052 out of the eastH4217 and out of the northH6828 shall troubleH926 him: therefore he shall go forthH3318 with greatH1419 furyH2534 to destroyH8045, and utterly to make awayH2763 manyH7227.
And he shall plantH5193 the tabernaclesH168 of his palaceH643 between the seasH3220 in the gloriousH6643 holyH6944 mountainH2022; yet he shall comeH935 to his endH7093, and none shall helpH5826 him. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. mountain of delight of holiness}
Also I in the firstH259 yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the MedeH4075, even I, stoodH5977 to confirmH2388 and to strengthenH4581 him.
And now will I shewH5046 thee the truthH571. Behold, there shall stand upH5975 yet threeH7969 kingsH4428 in PersiaH6539; and the fourthH7243 shall be farH6239 richerH6238 than they allH1419: and by his strengthH2393 through his richesH6239 he shall stir upH5782 all against the realmH4438 of GreciaH3120.
And a mightyH1368 kingH4428 shall stand upH5975, that shall ruleH4910 with greatH7227 dominionH4474, and doH6213 according to his willH7522.
And when he shall stand upH5975, his kingdomH4438 shall be brokenH7665, and shall be dividedH2673 toward the fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064; and not to his posterityH319, nor according to his dominionH4915 which he ruledH4910: for his kingdomH4438 shall be plucked upH5428, even for othersH312 beside those.
And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be strongH2388, and one of his princesH8269; and he shall be strongH2388 above him, and have dominionH4910; his dominionH4475 shall be a greatH7227 dominionH4474.
And in the endH7093 of yearsH8141 they shall join themselves togetherH2266; for the king'sH4428 daughterH1323 of the southH5045 shall comeH935 to the kingH4428 of the northH6828 to makeH6213 an agreementH4339: but she shall not retainH6113 the powerH3581 of the armH2220; neither shall he standH5975, nor his armH2220: but she shall be given upH5414, and they that broughtH935 her, and he that begatH3205 her, and he that strengthenedH2388 her in these timesH6256. {join…: Heb. associate themselves} {an…: Heb. rights} {he that begat…: or, whom she brought forth}
But out of a branchH5342 of her rootsH8328 shall one stand upH5975 in his estateH3653, which shall comeH935 with an armyH2428, and shall enterH935 into the fortressH4581 of the kingH4428 of the northH6828, and shall dealH6213 against them, and shall prevailH2388: {in…: or, in his place, or, office}
And shall also carryH935 captivesH7628 into EgyptH4714 their godsH430, with their princesH5257, and with their preciousH2532 vesselsH3627 of silverH3701 and of goldH2091; and he shall continueH5975 more yearsH8141 than the kingH4428 of the northH6828. {their precious…: Heb. vessels of their desire}
So the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall comeH935 into his kingdomH4438, and shall returnH7725 into his own landH127.
But his sonsH1121 shall be stirred upH1624, and shall assembleH622 a multitudeH1995 of greatH7227 forcesH2428: and one shall certainlyH935 comeH935, and overflowH7857, and pass throughH5674: then shall he returnH7725, and be stirred upH1624, even to his fortressH4581. {shall be…: or, shall war} {return…: or, be stirred up again}
And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be moved with cholerH4843, and shall come forthH3318 and fightH3898 with him, even with the kingH4428 of the northH6828: and he shall set forthH5975 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995; but the multitudeH1995 shall be givenH5414 into his handH3027.
And when he hath taken awayH5375 the multitudeH1995, his heartH3824 shall be lifted upH7311+H7311; and he shall cast downH5307 many ten thousandsH7239: but he shall not be strengthenedH5810 by it.
For the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall returnH7725, and shall set forthH5975 a multitudeH1995 greaterH7227 than the formerH7223, and shall certainlyH935 comeH935 afterH7093 certainH6256 yearsH8141 with a greatH1419 armyH2428 and with muchH7227 richesH7399. {after…: Heb. at the end of times, even years}
And in those timesH6256 there shall manyH7227 stand upH5975 against the kingH4428 of the southH5045: also the robbersH1121+H6530 of thy peopleH5971 shall exaltH5375 themselves to establishH5975 the visionH2377; but they shall fallH3782. {the robbers: Heb. the children of robbers}
So the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall comeH935, and cast upH8210 a mountH5550, and takeH3920 the most fencedH4013 citiesH5892: and the armsH2220 of the southH5045 shall not withstandH5975, neither his chosenH4005 peopleH5971, neither shall there be any strengthH3581 to withstandH5975. {the most…: Heb. the city of munitions} {his…: Heb. the people of his choices}
But he that comethH935 against him shall doH6213 according to his own willH7522, and none shall standH5975 beforeH6440 him: and he shall standH5975 in the gloriousH6643 landH776, which by his handH3027 shall be consumedH3617. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of ornament}
He shall also setH7760 his faceH6440 to enterH935 with the strengthH8633 of his whole kingdomH4438, and upright onesH3477 with him; thus shall he doH6213: and he shall giveH5414 him the daughterH1323 of womenH802, corruptingH7843 her: but she shall not standH5975 on his side, neither be for him. {upright…: or, much uprightness: or, equal conditions} {corrupting: Heb. to corrupt}
After this shall he turnH7760+H7725 his faceH6440 unto the islesH339, and shall takeH3920 manyH7227: but a princeH7101 for his own behalf shall cause the reproachH2781 offered by him to ceaseH7673; withoutH1115 his own reproachH2781 he shall cause it to turnH7725 upon him. {for…: Heb. for him} {the reproach…: Heb. his reproach}
Then he shall turnH7725 his faceH6440 toward the fortH4581 of his own landH776: but he shall stumbleH3782 and fallH5307, and not be foundH4672.
Then shall stand upH5975 in his estateH3653 a raiserH5674 of taxesH5065 in the gloryH1925 of the kingdomH4438: but within fewH259 daysH3117 he shall be destroyedH7665, neither in angerH639, nor in battleH4421. {estate: or, place} {a…: Heb. one that causeth an exacter to pass over} {anger: Heb. angers}
And in his estateH3653 shall stand upH5975 a vile personH959, to whom they shall not giveH5414 the honourH1935 of the kingdomH4438: but he shall comeH935 in peaceablyH7962, and obtainH2388 the kingdomH4438 by flatteriesH2519. {estate: or, place}
And with the armsH2220 of a floodH7858 shall they be overflownH7857 from beforeH6440 him, and shall be brokenH7665; yea, also the princeH5057 of the covenantH1285.
And after the leagueH2266 made with him he shall workH6213 deceitfullyH4820: for he shall come upH5927, and shall become strongH6105 with a smallH4592 peopleH1471.
He shall enterH935 peaceablyH7962 even upon the fattest placesH4924 of the provinceH4082; and he shall doH6213 that which his fathersH1 have not doneH6213, nor his fathers'H1 fathersH1; he shall scatterH967 among them the preyH961, and spoilH7998, and richesH7399: yea, and he shall forecastH2803 his devicesH4284 against the strong holdsH4013, even for a timeH6256. {peaceably…: or, into the peaceable and fat, etc} {forecast…: Heb. think his thoughts}
And he shall stir upH5782 his powerH3581 and his courageH3824 against the kingH4428 of the southH5045 with a greatH1419 armyH2428; and the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be stirred upH1624 to battleH4421 with a veryH3966 greatH1419 and mightyH6099 armyH2428; but he shall not standH5975: for they shall forecastH2803 devicesH4284 against him.
Yea, they that feedH398 of the portion of his meatH6598 shall destroyH7665 him, and his armyH2428 shall overflowH7857: and manyH7227 shall fallH5307 down slainH2491.
And bothH8147 these kings'H4428 heartsH3824 shall be to do mischiefH4827+H7451, and they shall speakH1696 liesH3577 at oneH259 tableH7979; but it shall not prosperH6743: for yet the endH7093 shall be at the time appointedH4150. {hearts: Heb. their hearts}
Then shall he returnH7725 into his landH776 with greatH1419 richesH7399; and his heartH3824 shall be against the holyH6944 covenantH1285; and he shall doH6213 exploits, and returnH7725 to his own landH776.
At the time appointedH4150 he shall returnH7725, and comeH935 toward the southH5045; but it shall not be as the formerH7223, or as the latterH314.
For the shipsH6716 of ChittimH3794 shall comeH935 against him: therefore he shall be grievedH3512, and returnH7725, and have indignationH2194 against the holyH6944 covenantH1285: so shall he doH6213; he shall even returnH7725, and have intelligenceH995 with them that forsakeH5800 the holyH6944 covenantH1285.
And armsH2220 shall standH5975 on his part, and they shall polluteH2490 the sanctuaryH4720 of strengthH4581, and shall take awayH5493 the dailyH8548 sacrifice, and they shall placeH5414 the abominationH8251 that maketh desolateH8074. {maketh…: or, astonisheth}
And such as do wickedlyH7561 against the covenantH1285 shall he corruptH2610 by flatteriesH2514: but the peopleH5971 that do knowH3045 their GodH430 shall be strongH2388, and doH6213 exploits. {corrupt: or, cause to dissemble}
And they that understandH7919 among the peopleH5971 shall instructH995 manyH7227: yet they shall fallH3782 by the swordH2719, and by flameH3852, by captivityH7628, and by spoilH961, many daysH3117.
Now when they shall fallH3782, they shall be holpenH5826 with a littleH4592 helpH5828: but manyH7227 shall cleaveH3867 to them with flatteriesH2519.
And some of them of understandingH7919 shall fallH3782, to tryH6884 them, and to purgeH1305, and to make them whiteH3835, even to the timeH6256 of the endH7093: because it is yet for a time appointedH4150. {try them: or, try by them}
And the kingH4428 shall doH6213 according to his willH7522; and he shall exaltH7311 himself, and magnifyH1431 himself above every godH410, and shall speakH1696 marvellous thingsH6381 against the GodH410 of godsH410, and shall prosperH6743 till the indignationH2195 be accomplishedH3615: for that that is determinedH2782 shall be doneH6213.
Neither shall he regardH995 the GodH430 of his fathersH1, nor the desireH2532 of womenH802, nor regardH995 any godH433: for he shall magnifyH1431 himself above all.
But in his estateH3653 shall he honourH3513 the GodH433 of forcesH4581: and a godH433 whom his fathersH1 knewH3045 not shall he honourH3513 with goldH2091, and silverH3701, and with preciousH3368 stonesH68, and pleasant thingsH2532. {forces: or, munitions: Heb. Mauzzim, or, as for the almighty God, in his seat he shall honour, yea he shall honour a god, etc} {pleasant: Heb. things desired}
Thus shall he doH6213 in the most strongH4581 holdsH4013 with a strangeH5236 godH433, whom he shall acknowledgeH5234+H5234 and increaseH7235 with gloryH3519: and he shall cause them to ruleH4910 over manyH7227, and shall divideH2505 the landH127 for gainH4242. {most…: Heb. fortresses of munitions} {gain: Heb. a price}
And at the timeH6256 of the endH7093 shall the kingH4428 of the southH5045 pushH5055 at him: and the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall come against him like a whirlwindH8175, with chariotsH7393, and with horsemenH6571, and with manyH7227 shipsH591; and he shall enterH935 into the countriesH776, and shall overflowH7857 and pass overH5674.
He shall enterH935 also into the gloriousH6643 landH776, and manyH7227 countries shall be overthrownH3782: but these shall escapeH4422 out of his handH3027, even EdomH123, and MoabH4124, and the chiefH7225 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of delight, or, ornament}
He shall stretch forthH7971 his handH3027 also upon the countriesH776: and the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall not escapeH6413. {stretch…: Heb. send forth}
But he shall have powerH4910 over the treasuresH4362 of goldH2091 and of silverH3701, and over all the preciousH2532 things of EgyptH4714: and the LibyansH3864 and the EthiopiansH3569 shall be at his stepsH4703.
But tidingsH8052 out of the eastH4217 and out of the northH6828 shall troubleH926 him: therefore he shall go forthH3318 with greatH1419 furyH2534 to destroyH8045, and utterly to make awayH2763 manyH7227.
And he shall plantH5193 the tabernaclesH168 of his palaceH643 between the seasH3220 in the gloriousH6643 holyH6944 mountainH2022; yet he shall comeH935 to his endH7093, and none shall helpH5826 him. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. mountain of delight of holiness}
Also I in the firstH259 yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the MedeH4075, even I, stoodH5977 to confirmH2388 and to strengthenH4581 him.
And now will I shewH5046 thee the truthH571. Behold, there shall stand upH5975 yet threeH7969 kingsH4428 in PersiaH6539; and the fourthH7243 shall be farH6239 richerH6238 than they allH1419: and by his strengthH2393 through his richesH6239 he shall stir upH5782 all against the realmH4438 of GreciaH3120.
And a mightyH1368 kingH4428 shall stand upH5975, that shall ruleH4910 with greatH7227 dominionH4474, and doH6213 according to his willH7522.
And when he shall stand upH5975, his kingdomH4438 shall be brokenH7665, and shall be dividedH2673 toward the fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064; and not to his posterityH319, nor according to his dominionH4915 which he ruledH4910: for his kingdomH4438 shall be plucked upH5428, even for othersH312 beside those.
And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be strongH2388, and one of his princesH8269; and he shall be strongH2388 above him, and have dominionH4910; his dominionH4475 shall be a greatH7227 dominionH4474.
And in the endH7093 of yearsH8141 they shall join themselves togetherH2266; for the king'sH4428 daughterH1323 of the southH5045 shall comeH935 to the kingH4428 of the northH6828 to makeH6213 an agreementH4339: but she shall not retainH6113 the powerH3581 of the armH2220; neither shall he standH5975, nor his armH2220: but she shall be given upH5414, and they that broughtH935 her, and he that begatH3205 her, and he that strengthenedH2388 her in these timesH6256. {join…: Heb. associate themselves} {an…: Heb. rights} {he that begat…: or, whom she brought forth}
But out of a branchH5342 of her rootsH8328 shall one stand upH5975 in his estateH3653, which shall comeH935 with an armyH2428, and shall enterH935 into the fortressH4581 of the kingH4428 of the northH6828, and shall dealH6213 against them, and shall prevailH2388: {in…: or, in his place, or, office}
And shall also carryH935 captivesH7628 into EgyptH4714 their godsH430, with their princesH5257, and with their preciousH2532 vesselsH3627 of silverH3701 and of goldH2091; and he shall continueH5975 more yearsH8141 than the kingH4428 of the northH6828. {their precious…: Heb. vessels of their desire}
So the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall comeH935 into his kingdomH4438, and shall returnH7725 into his own landH127.
But his sonsH1121 shall be stirred upH1624, and shall assembleH622 a multitudeH1995 of greatH7227 forcesH2428: and one shall certainlyH935 comeH935, and overflowH7857, and pass throughH5674: then shall he returnH7725, and be stirred upH1624, even to his fortressH4581. {shall be…: or, shall war} {return…: or, be stirred up again}
And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be moved with cholerH4843, and shall come forthH3318 and fightH3898 with him, even with the kingH4428 of the northH6828: and he shall set forthH5975 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995; but the multitudeH1995 shall be givenH5414 into his handH3027.
And when he hath taken awayH5375 the multitudeH1995, his heartH3824 shall be lifted upH7311+H7311; and he shall cast downH5307 many ten thousandsH7239: but he shall not be strengthenedH5810 by it.
For the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall returnH7725, and shall set forthH5975 a multitudeH1995 greaterH7227 than the formerH7223, and shall certainlyH935 comeH935 afterH7093 certainH6256 yearsH8141 with a greatH1419 armyH2428 and with muchH7227 richesH7399. {after…: Heb. at the end of times, even years}
And in those timesH6256 there shall manyH7227 stand upH5975 against the kingH4428 of the southH5045: also the robbersH1121+H6530 of thy peopleH5971 shall exaltH5375 themselves to establishH5975 the visionH2377; but they shall fallH3782. {the robbers: Heb. the children of robbers}
So the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall comeH935, and cast upH8210 a mountH5550, and takeH3920 the most fencedH4013 citiesH5892: and the armsH2220 of the southH5045 shall not withstandH5975, neither his chosenH4005 peopleH5971, neither shall there be any strengthH3581 to withstandH5975. {the most…: Heb. the city of munitions} {his…: Heb. the people of his choices}
But he that comethH935 against him shall doH6213 according to his own willH7522, and none shall standH5975 beforeH6440 him: and he shall standH5975 in the gloriousH6643 landH776, which by his handH3027 shall be consumedH3617. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of ornament}
He shall also setH7760 his faceH6440 to enterH935 with the strengthH8633 of his whole kingdomH4438, and upright onesH3477 with him; thus shall he doH6213: and he shall giveH5414 him the daughterH1323 of womenH802, corruptingH7843 her: but she shall not standH5975 on his side, neither be for him. {upright…: or, much uprightness: or, equal conditions} {corrupting: Heb. to corrupt}
After this shall he turnH7760+H7725 his faceH6440 unto the islesH339, and shall takeH3920 manyH7227: but a princeH7101 for his own behalf shall cause the reproachH2781 offered by him to ceaseH7673; withoutH1115 his own reproachH2781 he shall cause it to turnH7725 upon him. {for…: Heb. for him} {the reproach…: Heb. his reproach}
Then he shall turnH7725 his faceH6440 toward the fortH4581 of his own landH776: but he shall stumbleH3782 and fallH5307, and not be foundH4672.
Then shall stand upH5975 in his estateH3653 a raiserH5674 of taxesH5065 in the gloryH1925 of the kingdomH4438: but within fewH259 daysH3117 he shall be destroyedH7665, neither in angerH639, nor in battleH4421. {estate: or, place} {a…: Heb. one that causeth an exacter to pass over} {anger: Heb. angers}
And in his estateH3653 shall stand upH5975 a vile personH959, to whom they shall not giveH5414 the honourH1935 of the kingdomH4438: but he shall comeH935 in peaceablyH7962, and obtainH2388 the kingdomH4438 by flatteriesH2519. {estate: or, place}
And with the armsH2220 of a floodH7858 shall they be overflownH7857 from beforeH6440 him, and shall be brokenH7665; yea, also the princeH5057 of the covenantH1285.
And after the leagueH2266 made with him he shall workH6213 deceitfullyH4820: for he shall come upH5927, and shall become strongH6105 with a smallH4592 peopleH1471.
He shall enterH935 peaceablyH7962 even upon the fattest placesH4924 of the provinceH4082; and he shall doH6213 that which his fathersH1 have not doneH6213, nor his fathers'H1 fathersH1; he shall scatterH967 among them the preyH961, and spoilH7998, and richesH7399: yea, and he shall forecastH2803 his devicesH4284 against the strong holdsH4013, even for a timeH6256. {peaceably…: or, into the peaceable and fat, etc} {forecast…: Heb. think his thoughts}
And he shall stir upH5782 his powerH3581 and his courageH3824 against the kingH4428 of the southH5045 with a greatH1419 armyH2428; and the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be stirred upH1624 to battleH4421 with a veryH3966 greatH1419 and mightyH6099 armyH2428; but he shall not standH5975: for they shall forecastH2803 devicesH4284 against him.
Yea, they that feedH398 of the portion of his meatH6598 shall destroyH7665 him, and his armyH2428 shall overflowH7857: and manyH7227 shall fallH5307 down slainH2491.
And bothH8147 these kings'H4428 heartsH3824 shall be to do mischiefH4827+H7451, and they shall speakH1696 liesH3577 at oneH259 tableH7979; but it shall not prosperH6743: for yet the endH7093 shall be at the time appointedH4150. {hearts: Heb. their hearts}
Then shall he returnH7725 into his landH776 with greatH1419 richesH7399; and his heartH3824 shall be against the holyH6944 covenantH1285; and he shall doH6213 exploits, and returnH7725 to his own landH776.
At the time appointedH4150 he shall returnH7725, and comeH935 toward the southH5045; but it shall not be as the formerH7223, or as the latterH314.
For the shipsH6716 of ChittimH3794 shall comeH935 against him: therefore he shall be grievedH3512, and returnH7725, and have indignationH2194 against the holyH6944 covenantH1285: so shall he doH6213; he shall even returnH7725, and have intelligenceH995 with them that forsakeH5800 the holyH6944 covenantH1285.
And armsH2220 shall standH5975 on his part, and they shall polluteH2490 the sanctuaryH4720 of strengthH4581, and shall take awayH5493 the dailyH8548 sacrifice, and they shall placeH5414 the abominationH8251 that maketh desolateH8074. {maketh…: or, astonisheth}
And such as do wickedlyH7561 against the covenantH1285 shall he corruptH2610 by flatteriesH2514: but the peopleH5971 that do knowH3045 their GodH430 shall be strongH2388, and doH6213 exploits. {corrupt: or, cause to dissemble}
And they that understandH7919 among the peopleH5971 shall instructH995 manyH7227: yet they shall fallH3782 by the swordH2719, and by flameH3852, by captivityH7628, and by spoilH961, many daysH3117.
Now when they shall fallH3782, they shall be holpenH5826 with a littleH4592 helpH5828: but manyH7227 shall cleaveH3867 to them with flatteriesH2519.
And some of them of understandingH7919 shall fallH3782, to tryH6884 them, and to purgeH1305, and to make them whiteH3835, even to the timeH6256 of the endH7093: because it is yet for a time appointedH4150. {try them: or, try by them}
And the kingH4428 shall doH6213 according to his willH7522; and he shall exaltH7311 himself, and magnifyH1431 himself above every godH410, and shall speakH1696 marvellous thingsH6381 against the GodH410 of godsH410, and shall prosperH6743 till the indignationH2195 be accomplishedH3615: for that that is determinedH2782 shall be doneH6213.
Neither shall he regardH995 the GodH430 of his fathersH1, nor the desireH2532 of womenH802, nor regardH995 any godH433: for he shall magnifyH1431 himself above all.
But in his estateH3653 shall he honourH3513 the GodH433 of forcesH4581: and a godH433 whom his fathersH1 knewH3045 not shall he honourH3513 with goldH2091, and silverH3701, and with preciousH3368 stonesH68, and pleasant thingsH2532. {forces: or, munitions: Heb. Mauzzim, or, as for the almighty God, in his seat he shall honour, yea he shall honour a god, etc} {pleasant: Heb. things desired}
Thus shall he doH6213 in the most strongH4581 holdsH4013 with a strangeH5236 godH433, whom he shall acknowledgeH5234+H5234 and increaseH7235 with gloryH3519: and he shall cause them to ruleH4910 over manyH7227, and shall divideH2505 the landH127 for gainH4242. {most…: Heb. fortresses of munitions} {gain: Heb. a price}
And at the timeH6256 of the endH7093 shall the kingH4428 of the southH5045 pushH5055 at him: and the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall come against him like a whirlwindH8175, with chariotsH7393, and with horsemenH6571, and with manyH7227 shipsH591; and he shall enterH935 into the countriesH776, and shall overflowH7857 and pass overH5674.
He shall enterH935 also into the gloriousH6643 landH776, and manyH7227 countries shall be overthrownH3782: but these shall escapeH4422 out of his handH3027, even EdomH123, and MoabH4124, and the chiefH7225 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of delight, or, ornament}
He shall stretch forthH7971 his handH3027 also upon the countriesH776: and the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall not escapeH6413. {stretch…: Heb. send forth}
But he shall have powerH4910 over the treasuresH4362 of goldH2091 and of silverH3701, and over all the preciousH2532 things of EgyptH4714: and the LibyansH3864 and the EthiopiansH3569 shall be at his stepsH4703.
But tidingsH8052 out of the eastH4217 and out of the northH6828 shall troubleH926 him: therefore he shall go forthH3318 with greatH1419 furyH2534 to destroyH8045, and utterly to make awayH2763 manyH7227.
And he shall plantH5193 the tabernaclesH168 of his palaceH643 between the seasH3220 in the gloriousH6643 holyH6944 mountainH2022; yet he shall comeH935 to his endH7093, and none shall helpH5826 him. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. mountain of delight of holiness}
Also I in the firstH259 yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the MedeH4075, even I, stoodH5977 to confirmH2388 and to strengthenH4581 him.
And now will I shewH5046 thee the truthH571. Behold, there shall stand upH5975 yet threeH7969 kingsH4428 in PersiaH6539; and the fourthH7243 shall be farH6239 richerH6238 than they allH1419: and by his strengthH2393 through his richesH6239 he shall stir upH5782 all against the realmH4438 of GreciaH3120.
And a mightyH1368 kingH4428 shall stand upH5975, that shall ruleH4910 with greatH7227 dominionH4474, and doH6213 according to his willH7522.
And when he shall stand upH5975, his kingdomH4438 shall be brokenH7665, and shall be dividedH2673 toward the fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064; and not to his posterityH319, nor according to his dominionH4915 which he ruledH4910: for his kingdomH4438 shall be plucked upH5428, even for othersH312 beside those.
And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be strongH2388, and one of his princesH8269; and he shall be strongH2388 above him, and have dominionH4910; his dominionH4475 shall be a greatH7227 dominionH4474.
And in the endH7093 of yearsH8141 they shall join themselves togetherH2266; for the king'sH4428 daughterH1323 of the southH5045 shall comeH935 to the kingH4428 of the northH6828 to makeH6213 an agreementH4339: but she shall not retainH6113 the powerH3581 of the armH2220; neither shall he standH5975, nor his armH2220: but she shall be given upH5414, and they that broughtH935 her, and he that begatH3205 her, and he that strengthenedH2388 her in these timesH6256. {join…: Heb. associate themselves} {an…: Heb. rights} {he that begat…: or, whom she brought forth}
But out of a branchH5342 of her rootsH8328 shall one stand upH5975 in his estateH3653, which shall comeH935 with an armyH2428, and shall enterH935 into the fortressH4581 of the kingH4428 of the northH6828, and shall dealH6213 against them, and shall prevailH2388: {in…: or, in his place, or, office}
And shall also carryH935 captivesH7628 into EgyptH4714 their godsH430, with their princesH5257, and with their preciousH2532 vesselsH3627 of silverH3701 and of goldH2091; and he shall continueH5975 more yearsH8141 than the kingH4428 of the northH6828. {their precious…: Heb. vessels of their desire}
So the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall comeH935 into his kingdomH4438, and shall returnH7725 into his own landH127.
But his sonsH1121 shall be stirred upH1624, and shall assembleH622 a multitudeH1995 of greatH7227 forcesH2428: and one shall certainlyH935 comeH935, and overflowH7857, and pass throughH5674: then shall he returnH7725, and be stirred upH1624, even to his fortressH4581. {shall be…: or, shall war} {return…: or, be stirred up again}
And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be moved with cholerH4843, and shall come forthH3318 and fightH3898 with him, even with the kingH4428 of the northH6828: and he shall set forthH5975 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995; but the multitudeH1995 shall be givenH5414 into his handH3027.
And when he hath taken awayH5375 the multitudeH1995, his heartH3824 shall be lifted upH7311+H7311; and he shall cast downH5307 many ten thousandsH7239: but he shall not be strengthenedH5810 by it.
For the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall returnH7725, and shall set forthH5975 a multitudeH1995 greaterH7227 than the formerH7223, and shall certainlyH935 comeH935 afterH7093 certainH6256 yearsH8141 with a greatH1419 armyH2428 and with muchH7227 richesH7399. {after…: Heb. at the end of times, even years}
And in those timesH6256 there shall manyH7227 stand upH5975 against the kingH4428 of the southH5045: also the robbersH1121+H6530 of thy peopleH5971 shall exaltH5375 themselves to establishH5975 the visionH2377; but they shall fallH3782. {the robbers: Heb. the children of robbers}
So the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall comeH935, and cast upH8210 a mountH5550, and takeH3920 the most fencedH4013 citiesH5892: and the armsH2220 of the southH5045 shall not withstandH5975, neither his chosenH4005 peopleH5971, neither shall there be any strengthH3581 to withstandH5975. {the most…: Heb. the city of munitions} {his…: Heb. the people of his choices}
But he that comethH935 against him shall doH6213 according to his own willH7522, and none shall standH5975 beforeH6440 him: and he shall standH5975 in the gloriousH6643 landH776, which by his handH3027 shall be consumedH3617. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of ornament}
He shall also setH7760 his faceH6440 to enterH935 with the strengthH8633 of his whole kingdomH4438, and upright onesH3477 with him; thus shall he doH6213: and he shall giveH5414 him the daughterH1323 of womenH802, corruptingH7843 her: but she shall not standH5975 on his side, neither be for him. {upright…: or, much uprightness: or, equal conditions} {corrupting: Heb. to corrupt}
After this shall he turnH7760+H7725 his faceH6440 unto the islesH339, and shall takeH3920 manyH7227: but a princeH7101 for his own behalf shall cause the reproachH2781 offered by him to ceaseH7673; withoutH1115 his own reproachH2781 he shall cause it to turnH7725 upon him. {for…: Heb. for him} {the reproach…: Heb. his reproach}
Then he shall turnH7725 his faceH6440 toward the fortH4581 of his own landH776: but he shall stumbleH3782 and fallH5307, and not be foundH4672.
Then shall stand upH5975 in his estateH3653 a raiserH5674 of taxesH5065 in the gloryH1925 of the kingdomH4438: but within fewH259 daysH3117 he shall be destroyedH7665, neither in angerH639, nor in battleH4421. {estate: or, place} {a…: Heb. one that causeth an exacter to pass over} {anger: Heb. angers}
And in his estateH3653 shall stand upH5975 a vile personH959, to whom they shall not giveH5414 the honourH1935 of the kingdomH4438: but he shall comeH935 in peaceablyH7962, and obtainH2388 the kingdomH4438 by flatteriesH2519. {estate: or, place}
And with the armsH2220 of a floodH7858 shall they be overflownH7857 from beforeH6440 him, and shall be brokenH7665; yea, also the princeH5057 of the covenantH1285.
And after the leagueH2266 made with him he shall workH6213 deceitfullyH4820: for he shall come upH5927, and shall become strongH6105 with a smallH4592 peopleH1471.
He shall enterH935 peaceablyH7962 even upon the fattest placesH4924 of the provinceH4082; and he shall doH6213 that which his fathersH1 have not doneH6213, nor his fathers'H1 fathersH1; he shall scatterH967 among them the preyH961, and spoilH7998, and richesH7399: yea, and he shall forecastH2803 his devicesH4284 against the strong holdsH4013, even for a timeH6256. {peaceably…: or, into the peaceable and fat, etc} {forecast…: Heb. think his thoughts}
And he shall stir upH5782 his powerH3581 and his courageH3824 against the kingH4428 of the southH5045 with a greatH1419 armyH2428; and the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be stirred upH1624 to battleH4421 with a veryH3966 greatH1419 and mightyH6099 armyH2428; but he shall not standH5975: for they shall forecastH2803 devicesH4284 against him.
Yea, they that feedH398 of the portion of his meatH6598 shall destroyH7665 him, and his armyH2428 shall overflowH7857: and manyH7227 shall fallH5307 down slainH2491.
And bothH8147 these kings'H4428 heartsH3824 shall be to do mischiefH4827+H7451, and they shall speakH1696 liesH3577 at oneH259 tableH7979; but it shall not prosperH6743: for yet the endH7093 shall be at the time appointedH4150. {hearts: Heb. their hearts}
Then shall he returnH7725 into his landH776 with greatH1419 richesH7399; and his heartH3824 shall be against the holyH6944 covenantH1285; and he shall doH6213 exploits, and returnH7725 to his own landH776.
At the time appointedH4150 he shall returnH7725, and comeH935 toward the southH5045; but it shall not be as the formerH7223, or as the latterH314.
For the shipsH6716 of ChittimH3794 shall comeH935 against him: therefore he shall be grievedH3512, and returnH7725, and have indignationH2194 against the holyH6944 covenantH1285: so shall he doH6213; he shall even returnH7725, and have intelligenceH995 with them that forsakeH5800 the holyH6944 covenantH1285.
And armsH2220 shall standH5975 on his part, and they shall polluteH2490 the sanctuaryH4720 of strengthH4581, and shall take awayH5493 the dailyH8548 sacrifice, and they shall placeH5414 the abominationH8251 that maketh desolateH8074. {maketh…: or, astonisheth}
And such as do wickedlyH7561 against the covenantH1285 shall he corruptH2610 by flatteriesH2514: but the peopleH5971 that do knowH3045 their GodH430 shall be strongH2388, and doH6213 exploits. {corrupt: or, cause to dissemble}
And they that understandH7919 among the peopleH5971 shall instructH995 manyH7227: yet they shall fallH3782 by the swordH2719, and by flameH3852, by captivityH7628, and by spoilH961, many daysH3117.
Now when they shall fallH3782, they shall be holpenH5826 with a littleH4592 helpH5828: but manyH7227 shall cleaveH3867 to them with flatteriesH2519.
And now will I shewH5046 thee the truthH571. Behold, there shall stand upH5975 yet threeH7969 kingsH4428 in PersiaH6539; and the fourthH7243 shall be farH6239 richerH6238 than they allH1419: and by his strengthH2393 through his richesH6239 he shall stir upH5782 all against the realmH4438 of GreciaH3120.
And a mightyH1368 kingH4428 shall stand upH5975, that shall ruleH4910 with greatH7227 dominionH4474, and doH6213 according to his willH7522.
And when he shall stand upH5975, his kingdomH4438 shall be brokenH7665, and shall be dividedH2673 toward the fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064; and not to his posterityH319, nor according to his dominionH4915 which he ruledH4910: for his kingdomH4438 shall be plucked upH5428, even for othersH312 beside those.
And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be strongH2388, and one of his princesH8269; and he shall be strongH2388 above him, and have dominionH4910; his dominionH4475 shall be a greatH7227 dominionH4474.
And in the endH7093 of yearsH8141 they shall join themselves togetherH2266; for the king'sH4428 daughterH1323 of the southH5045 shall comeH935 to the kingH4428 of the northH6828 to makeH6213 an agreementH4339: but she shall not retainH6113 the powerH3581 of the armH2220; neither shall he standH5975, nor his armH2220: but she shall be given upH5414, and they that broughtH935 her, and he that begatH3205 her, and he that strengthenedH2388 her in these timesH6256. {join…: Heb. associate themselves} {an…: Heb. rights} {he that begat…: or, whom she brought forth}
But out of a branchH5342 of her rootsH8328 shall one stand upH5975 in his estateH3653, which shall comeH935 with an armyH2428, and shall enterH935 into the fortressH4581 of the kingH4428 of the northH6828, and shall dealH6213 against them, and shall prevailH2388: {in…: or, in his place, or, office}
And shall also carryH935 captivesH7628 into EgyptH4714 their godsH430, with their princesH5257, and with their preciousH2532 vesselsH3627 of silverH3701 and of goldH2091; and he shall continueH5975 more yearsH8141 than the kingH4428 of the northH6828. {their precious…: Heb. vessels of their desire}
So the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall comeH935 into his kingdomH4438, and shall returnH7725 into his own landH127.
But his sonsH1121 shall be stirred upH1624, and shall assembleH622 a multitudeH1995 of greatH7227 forcesH2428: and one shall certainlyH935 comeH935, and overflowH7857, and pass throughH5674: then shall he returnH7725, and be stirred upH1624, even to his fortressH4581. {shall be…: or, shall war} {return…: or, be stirred up again}
And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be moved with cholerH4843, and shall come forthH3318 and fightH3898 with him, even with the kingH4428 of the northH6828: and he shall set forthH5975 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995; but the multitudeH1995 shall be givenH5414 into his handH3027.
And when he hath taken awayH5375 the multitudeH1995, his heartH3824 shall be lifted upH7311+H7311; and he shall cast downH5307 many ten thousandsH7239: but he shall not be strengthenedH5810 by it.
For the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall returnH7725, and shall set forthH5975 a multitudeH1995 greaterH7227 than the formerH7223, and shall certainlyH935 comeH935 afterH7093 certainH6256 yearsH8141 with a greatH1419 armyH2428 and with muchH7227 richesH7399. {after…: Heb. at the end of times, even years}
And in those timesH6256 there shall manyH7227 stand upH5975 against the kingH4428 of the southH5045: also the robbersH1121+H6530 of thy peopleH5971 shall exaltH5375 themselves to establishH5975 the visionH2377; but they shall fallH3782. {the robbers: Heb. the children of robbers}
So the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall comeH935, and cast upH8210 a mountH5550, and takeH3920 the most fencedH4013 citiesH5892: and the armsH2220 of the southH5045 shall not withstandH5975, neither his chosenH4005 peopleH5971, neither shall there be any strengthH3581 to withstandH5975. {the most…: Heb. the city of munitions} {his…: Heb. the people of his choices}
But he that comethH935 against him shall doH6213 according to his own willH7522, and none shall standH5975 beforeH6440 him: and he shall standH5975 in the gloriousH6643 landH776, which by his handH3027 shall be consumedH3617. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of ornament}
He shall also setH7760 his faceH6440 to enterH935 with the strengthH8633 of his whole kingdomH4438, and upright onesH3477 with him; thus shall he doH6213: and he shall giveH5414 him the daughterH1323 of womenH802, corruptingH7843 her: but she shall not standH5975 on his side, neither be for him. {upright…: or, much uprightness: or, equal conditions} {corrupting: Heb. to corrupt}
After this shall he turnH7760+H7725 his faceH6440 unto the islesH339, and shall takeH3920 manyH7227: but a princeH7101 for his own behalf shall cause the reproachH2781 offered by him to ceaseH7673; withoutH1115 his own reproachH2781 he shall cause it to turnH7725 upon him. {for…: Heb. for him} {the reproach…: Heb. his reproach}
Then he shall turnH7725 his faceH6440 toward the fortH4581 of his own landH776: but he shall stumbleH3782 and fallH5307, and not be foundH4672.
Then shall stand upH5975 in his estateH3653 a raiserH5674 of taxesH5065 in the gloryH1925 of the kingdomH4438: but within fewH259 daysH3117 he shall be destroyedH7665, neither in angerH639, nor in battleH4421. {estate: or, place} {a…: Heb. one that causeth an exacter to pass over} {anger: Heb. angers}
And in his estateH3653 shall stand upH5975 a vile personH959, to whom they shall not giveH5414 the honourH1935 of the kingdomH4438: but he shall comeH935 in peaceablyH7962, and obtainH2388 the kingdomH4438 by flatteriesH2519. {estate: or, place}
And with the armsH2220 of a floodH7858 shall they be overflownH7857 from beforeH6440 him, and shall be brokenH7665; yea, also the princeH5057 of the covenantH1285.
And after the leagueH2266 made with him he shall workH6213 deceitfullyH4820: for he shall come upH5927, and shall become strongH6105 with a smallH4592 peopleH1471.
He shall enterH935 peaceablyH7962 even upon the fattest placesH4924 of the provinceH4082; and he shall doH6213 that which his fathersH1 have not doneH6213, nor his fathers'H1 fathersH1; he shall scatterH967 among them the preyH961, and spoilH7998, and richesH7399: yea, and he shall forecastH2803 his devicesH4284 against the strong holdsH4013, even for a timeH6256. {peaceably…: or, into the peaceable and fat, etc} {forecast…: Heb. think his thoughts}
And he shall stir upH5782 his powerH3581 and his courageH3824 against the kingH4428 of the southH5045 with a greatH1419 armyH2428; and the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be stirred upH1624 to battleH4421 with a veryH3966 greatH1419 and mightyH6099 armyH2428; but he shall not standH5975: for they shall forecastH2803 devicesH4284 against him.
Yea, they that feedH398 of the portion of his meatH6598 shall destroyH7665 him, and his armyH2428 shall overflowH7857: and manyH7227 shall fallH5307 down slainH2491.
And bothH8147 these kings'H4428 heartsH3824 shall be to do mischiefH4827+H7451, and they shall speakH1696 liesH3577 at oneH259 tableH7979; but it shall not prosperH6743: for yet the endH7093 shall be at the time appointedH4150. {hearts: Heb. their hearts}
Then shall he returnH7725 into his landH776 with greatH1419 richesH7399; and his heartH3824 shall be against the holyH6944 covenantH1285; and he shall doH6213 exploits, and returnH7725 to his own landH776.
At the time appointedH4150 he shall returnH7725, and comeH935 toward the southH5045; but it shall not be as the formerH7223, or as the latterH314.
For the shipsH6716 of ChittimH3794 shall comeH935 against him: therefore he shall be grievedH3512, and returnH7725, and have indignationH2194 against the holyH6944 covenantH1285: so shall he doH6213; he shall even returnH7725, and have intelligenceH995 with them that forsakeH5800 the holyH6944 covenantH1285.
And armsH2220 shall standH5975 on his part, and they shall polluteH2490 the sanctuaryH4720 of strengthH4581, and shall take awayH5493 the dailyH8548 sacrifice, and they shall placeH5414 the abominationH8251 that maketh desolateH8074. {maketh…: or, astonisheth}
And such as do wickedlyH7561 against the covenantH1285 shall he corruptH2610 by flatteriesH2514: but the peopleH5971 that do knowH3045 their GodH430 shall be strongH2388, and doH6213 exploits. {corrupt: or, cause to dissemble}
And they that understandH7919 among the peopleH5971 shall instructH995 manyH7227: yet they shall fallH3782 by the swordH2719, and by flameH3852, by captivityH7628, and by spoilH961, many daysH3117.
Now when they shall fallH3782, they shall be holpenH5826 with a littleH4592 helpH5828: but manyH7227 shall cleaveH3867 to them with flatteriesH2519.
And some of them of understandingH7919 shall fallH3782, to tryH6884 them, and to purgeH1305, and to make them whiteH3835, even to the timeH6256 of the endH7093: because it is yet for a time appointedH4150. {try them: or, try by them}
In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539 a thingH1697 was revealedH1540 unto DanielH1840, whose nameH8034 was calledH7121 BelteshazzarH1095; and the thingH1697 was trueH571, but the time appointedH6635 was longH1419: and he understoodH995 the thingH1697, and had understandingH998 of the visionH4758. {long: Heb. great}
In those daysH3117 I DanielH1840 was mourningH56 threeH7969 fullH3117 weeksH7620. {full…: Heb. weeks of days}
I ateH398 no pleasantH2532 breadH3899, neither cameH935 fleshH1320 nor wineH3196 in my mouthH6310, neither did I anointH5480 myself at allH5480, till threeH7969 wholeH3117 weeksH7620 were fulfilledH4390. {pleasant…: Heb. bread of desires}
And in the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the firstH7223 monthH2320, as I was by the sideH3027 of the greatH1419 riverH5104, which is HiddekelH2313;
Then I lifted upH5375 mine eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and behold a certainH259 manH376 clothedH3847 in linenH906, whose loinsH4975 were girdedH2296 with fine goldH3800 of UphazH210: {a…: Heb. one man}
His bodyH1472 also was like the berylH8658, and his faceH6440 as the appearanceH4758 of lightningH1300, and his eyesH5869 as lampsH3940 of fireH784, and his armsH2220 and his feetH4772 like in colourH5869 to polishedH7044 brassH5178, and the voiceH6963 of his wordsH1697 like the voiceH6963 of a multitudeH1995.
And I DanielH1840 alone sawH7200 the visionH4759: for the menH582 that were with me sawH7200 not the visionH4759; butH61 a greatH1419 quakingH2731 fellH5307 upon them, so that they fledH1272 to hideH2244 themselves.
Therefore I was left aloneH7604, and sawH7200 this greatH1419 visionH4759, and there remainedH7604 no strengthH3581 in me: for my comelinessH1935 was turnedH2015 in me into corruptionH4889, and I retainedH6113 no strengthH3581. {comeliness: or, vigour}
Yet heardH8085 I the voiceH6963 of his wordsH1697: and when I heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of his wordsH1697, then was I in a deep sleepH7290 on my faceH6440, and my faceH6440 toward the groundH776.
And, behold, an handH3027 touchedH5060 me, which setH5128 me upon my kneesH1290 and upon the palmsH3709 of my handsH3027. {set: Heb. moved}
And he saidH559 unto me, O DanielH1840, a manH376 greatly belovedH2532, understandH995 the wordsH1697 that I speakH1696 unto thee, and standH5975 uprightH5977: for unto thee am I now sentH7971. And when he had spokenH1696 this wordH1697 unto me, I stoodH5975 tremblingH7460. {greatly…: Heb. of desires} {upright: Heb. upon thy standing}
Then saidH559 he unto me, FearH3372 not, DanielH1840: for from the firstH7223 dayH3117 that thou didst setH5414 thine heartH3820 to understandH995, and to chastenH6031 thyself beforeH6440 thy GodH430, thy wordsH1697 were heardH8085, and I am comeH935 for thy wordsH1697.
But the princeH8269 of the kingdomH4438 of PersiaH6539 withstoodH5975 me oneH259 and twentyH6242 daysH3117: but, lo, MichaelH4317, oneH259 of the chiefH7223 princesH8269, cameH935 to helpH5826 me; and I remainedH3498 there withH681 the kingsH4428 of PersiaH6539. {chief: or, first}
Now I am comeH935 to make thee understandH995 what shall befallH7136 thy peopleH5971 in the latterH319 daysH3117: for yet the visionH2377 is for many daysH3117.
And when he had spokenH1696 such wordsH1697 unto me, I setH5414 my faceH6440 toward the groundH776, and I became dumbH481.
And, behold, one like the similitudeH1823 of the sonsH1121 of menH120 touchedH5060 my lipsH8193: then I openedH6605 my mouthH6310, and spakeH1696, and saidH559 unto him that stoodH5975 before me, O my lordH113, by the visionH4759 my sorrowsH6735 are turnedH2015 upon me, and I have retainedH6113 no strengthH3581.
For howH1963 canH3201 the servantH5650 of this my lordH113 talkH1696 with this my lordH113? for as for me, straightwayH6258 there remainedH5975 no strengthH3581 in me, neither is there breathH5397 leftH7604 in me. {the…: or, this servant of my lord}
Then there came againH3254 and touchedH5060 me one like the appearanceH4758 of a manH120, and he strengthenedH2388 me,
And saidH559, O manH376 greatly belovedH2532, fearH3372 not: peaceH7965 be unto thee, be strongH2388, yea, be strongH2388. And when he had spokenH1696 unto me, I was strengthenedH2388, and saidH559, Let my lordH113 speakH1696; for thou hast strengthenedH2388 me.
Then saidH559 he, KnowestH3045 thou wherefore I comeH935 unto thee? and now will I returnH7725 to fightH3898 with the princeH8269 of PersiaH6539: and when I am gone forthH3318, lo, the princeH8269 of GreciaH3120 shall comeH935.
ButH61 I will shewH5046 thee that which is notedH7559 in the scriptureH3791 of truthH571: and there is noneH259 that holdethH2388 with me in these things, but MichaelH4317 your princeH8269. {holdeth: Heb. strengtheneth himself}
ButH61 I will shewH5046 thee that which is notedH7559 in the scriptureH3791 of truthH571: and there is noneH259 that holdethH2388 with me in these things, but MichaelH4317 your princeH8269. {holdeth: Heb. strengtheneth himself}
In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539 a thingH1697 was revealedH1540 unto DanielH1840, whose nameH8034 was calledH7121 BelteshazzarH1095; and the thingH1697 was trueH571, but the time appointedH6635 was longH1419: and he understoodH995 the thingH1697, and had understandingH998 of the visionH4758. {long: Heb. great}
In those daysH3117 I DanielH1840 was mourningH56 threeH7969 fullH3117 weeksH7620. {full…: Heb. weeks of days}
I ateH398 no pleasantH2532 breadH3899, neither cameH935 fleshH1320 nor wineH3196 in my mouthH6310, neither did I anointH5480 myself at allH5480, till threeH7969 wholeH3117 weeksH7620 were fulfilledH4390. {pleasant…: Heb. bread of desires}
And in the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the firstH7223 monthH2320, as I was by the sideH3027 of the greatH1419 riverH5104, which is HiddekelH2313;
Then I lifted upH5375 mine eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and behold a certainH259 manH376 clothedH3847 in linenH906, whose loinsH4975 were girdedH2296 with fine goldH3800 of UphazH210: {a…: Heb. one man}
His bodyH1472 also was like the berylH8658, and his faceH6440 as the appearanceH4758 of lightningH1300, and his eyesH5869 as lampsH3940 of fireH784, and his armsH2220 and his feetH4772 like in colourH5869 to polishedH7044 brassH5178, and the voiceH6963 of his wordsH1697 like the voiceH6963 of a multitudeH1995.
And I DanielH1840 alone sawH7200 the visionH4759: for the menH582 that were with me sawH7200 not the visionH4759; butH61 a greatH1419 quakingH2731 fellH5307 upon them, so that they fledH1272 to hideH2244 themselves.
Therefore I was left aloneH7604, and sawH7200 this greatH1419 visionH4759, and there remainedH7604 no strengthH3581 in me: for my comelinessH1935 was turnedH2015 in me into corruptionH4889, and I retainedH6113 no strengthH3581. {comeliness: or, vigour}
Yet heardH8085 I the voiceH6963 of his wordsH1697: and when I heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of his wordsH1697, then was I in a deep sleepH7290 on my faceH6440, and my faceH6440 toward the groundH776.
And, behold, an handH3027 touchedH5060 me, which setH5128 me upon my kneesH1290 and upon the palmsH3709 of my handsH3027. {set: Heb. moved}
And he saidH559 unto me, O DanielH1840, a manH376 greatly belovedH2532, understandH995 the wordsH1697 that I speakH1696 unto thee, and standH5975 uprightH5977: for unto thee am I now sentH7971. And when he had spokenH1696 this wordH1697 unto me, I stoodH5975 tremblingH7460. {greatly…: Heb. of desires} {upright: Heb. upon thy standing}
Then saidH559 he unto me, FearH3372 not, DanielH1840: for from the firstH7223 dayH3117 that thou didst setH5414 thine heartH3820 to understandH995, and to chastenH6031 thyself beforeH6440 thy GodH430, thy wordsH1697 were heardH8085, and I am comeH935 for thy wordsH1697.
But the princeH8269 of the kingdomH4438 of PersiaH6539 withstoodH5975 me oneH259 and twentyH6242 daysH3117: but, lo, MichaelH4317, oneH259 of the chiefH7223 princesH8269, cameH935 to helpH5826 me; and I remainedH3498 there withH681 the kingsH4428 of PersiaH6539. {chief: or, first}
Now I am comeH935 to make thee understandH995 what shall befallH7136 thy peopleH5971 in the latterH319 daysH3117: for yet the visionH2377 is for many daysH3117.
And when he had spokenH1696 such wordsH1697 unto me, I setH5414 my faceH6440 toward the groundH776, and I became dumbH481.
And, behold, one like the similitudeH1823 of the sonsH1121 of menH120 touchedH5060 my lipsH8193: then I openedH6605 my mouthH6310, and spakeH1696, and saidH559 unto him that stoodH5975 before me, O my lordH113, by the visionH4759 my sorrowsH6735 are turnedH2015 upon me, and I have retainedH6113 no strengthH3581.
For howH1963 canH3201 the servantH5650 of this my lordH113 talkH1696 with this my lordH113? for as for me, straightwayH6258 there remainedH5975 no strengthH3581 in me, neither is there breathH5397 leftH7604 in me. {the…: or, this servant of my lord}
Then there came againH3254 and touchedH5060 me one like the appearanceH4758 of a manH120, and he strengthenedH2388 me,
And saidH559, O manH376 greatly belovedH2532, fearH3372 not: peaceH7965 be unto thee, be strongH2388, yea, be strongH2388. And when he had spokenH1696 unto me, I was strengthenedH2388, and saidH559, Let my lordH113 speakH1696; for thou hast strengthenedH2388 me.
Then saidH559 he, KnowestH3045 thou wherefore I comeH935 unto thee? and now will I returnH7725 to fightH3898 with the princeH8269 of PersiaH6539: and when I am gone forthH3318, lo, the princeH8269 of GreciaH3120 shall comeH935.
ButH61 I will shewH5046 thee that which is notedH7559 in the scriptureH3791 of truthH571: and there is noneH259 that holdethH2388 with me in these things, but MichaelH4317 your princeH8269. {holdeth: Heb. strengtheneth himself}
In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539 a thingH1697 was revealedH1540 unto DanielH1840, whose nameH8034 was calledH7121 BelteshazzarH1095; and the thingH1697 was trueH571, but the time appointedH6635 was longH1419: and he understoodH995 the thingH1697, and had understandingH998 of the visionH4758. {long: Heb. great}
