 11:1 ¶
And I in the first year of Cyrus stood to strengthen and confirm [him]. |
|
 11:1 ¶
Also Iº
in the firstº
yearº
of Dariusº
the Mede,º
[even] I, stoodºº
to confirmºº
and to strengthenº
him. |
 11:2
And now I will tell thee the truth. Behold, there shall yet rise up three kings in Persia: and the fourth shall be very far richer than all: and after that he is master of his wealth, he shall rise up against all the kingdoms of the Greeks. |
|
 11:2
And nowº
will I shewºº
thee the truth.º
Behold,º
there shall stand upºº
yetº
threeº
kingsº
in Persia;º
and the fourthº
shall be farº
richerºººº
than [they] all:ººº
and by his strengthº
through his richesº
he shall stir upºº
allº
againstº
the realmº
of Grecia.º |
 11:3
An there shall rise up a mighty king, and he shall be lord of a great empire, and shall do according to his will. |
|
 11:3
And a mightyº
kingº
shall stand up,ºº
that shall ruleºº
with greatº
dominion,º
and doºº
according to his will.º |
 11:4
And when his kingdom shall stand up, it shall be broken, and shall be divided to the four winds of heaven; but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled over: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, and [given] to others beside these. |
|
 11:4
And when he shall stand up,ºº
his kingdomº
shall be broken,ºº
and shall be dividedºº
toward the fourº
windsº
of heaven;º
and notº
to his posterity,º
norº
according to his dominionº
whichº
he ruled:ºº
forº
his kingdomº
shall be plucked up,ºº
even for othersº
besideºº
those.º |
 11:5 ¶
And the king of the south shall be strong; and one of their princes shall prevail against him, and shall obtain a great dominion. |
|
 11:5 ¶
And the kingº
of the southº
shall be strong,ºº
and [one] ofº
his princes;º
and he shall be strongºº
aboveº
him, and have dominion;ºº
his dominionºº
[shall be] a greatº
dominion.º |
 11:6
And after his years they shall associate; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north, to make agreements with him: but she shall not retain power of arm; neither shall his seed stand: and she shall be delivered up, and they that brought her, and the maiden, and he that strengthened her in these times. |
|
 11:6
And in the endº
of yearsº
they shall join themselves together;ºº
for the king'sº
daughterº
of the southº
shall comeºº
toº
the kingº
of the northº
to makeºº
an agreement:º
but she shall notº
retainºº
the powerº
of the arm;º
neitherº
shall he stand,ºº
nor his arm:º
but sheº
shall be given up,ºº
and they that broughtºº
her, and he that begatºº
her, and he that strengthenedºº
her in [these] times.º |
 11:7
[But] out of the flower of her root there shall arise [one on] his place, and shall come against the host, and shall enter into the strongholds of the king of the north, and shall fight against them, and prevail. |
|
 11:7
But out of a branchºº
of her rootsº
shall [one] stand upºº
in his estate,º
which shall comeºº
withº
an army,º
and shall enterºº
into the fortressº
of the kingº
of the north,º
and shall dealºº
against them, and shall prevail:ºº |
 11:8
Yea, he shall carry with a body of captives into Mizraim{gr.Egypt} their gods with their molten [images, and] all their precious vessels of silver and gold; and he shall last longer than the king of the north. |
|
 11:8
And shall alsoº
carryºº
captivesº
into Egyptº
their elohim,º
withº
their princes,º
[and] withº
their preciousº
vesselsº
of silverº
and of gold;º
and heº
shall continueºº
[more] yearsº
than the kingºº
of the north.º |
 11:9
And he shall enter into the kingdom of the king of the south, and shall return to his own land. |
|
 11:9
So the kingº
of the southº
shall comeºº
into [his] kingdom,º
and shall returnºº
intoº
his own land.º |
 11:10
And his sons shall gather a multitude among many: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through, and he shall rest, and collect his strength. |
|
 11:10
But his sonsº
shall be stirred up,ºº
and shall assembleºº
a multitudeº
of greatº
forces:º
and [one] shall certainlyºº
come,ºº
and overflow,ºº
and pass through:ºº
then shall he return,ºº
and be stirred up,ºº
[even] toº
his fortress.º |
 11:11
And the king of the south shall be greatly enraged, and shall come forth, and shall war with the king of the north: and he shall raise a great multitude; but the multitude shall be delivered into his hand. |
|
 11:11
And the kingº
of the southº
shall be moved with choler,ºº
and shall come forthºº
and fightºº
withº
him, [even] withº
the kingº
of the north:º
and he shall set forthºº
a greatº
multitude;º
but the multitudeº
shall be givenºº
into his hand.º |
 11:12
And he shall take the multitude, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down many thousands; but he shall not prevail. |
|
 11:12
[And] when he hath taken awayºº
the multitude,º
his heartº
shall be lifted up;ºººº
and he shall cast downºº
[many] ten thousands:º
but he shall notº
be strengthenedºº
[by it]. |
 11:13
For the king of the north shall return, and bring a multitude greater than the former, and at the end of the times of years an invading army shall come with a great force, and with much substance. |
|
 11:13
For the kingº
of the northº
shall return,ºº
and shall set forthºº
a multitudeº
greaterº
thanº
the former,º
and shall certainlyºº
comeºº
afterº
certainº
yearsº
with a greatº
armyº
and with muchº
riches.º |
 11:14
And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south; and the children of the spoilers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; and they shall fail. |
|
 11:14
And in thoseº
timesº
there shall manyº
stand upºº
againstº
the kingº
of the south:º
also the robbersºº
of thy peopleº
shall exaltºº
themselvesº
to establishºº
the vision;º
but they shall fall.ºº |
 11:15
And the king of the north shall come in, and cast up a mound, and take strong cities: and the arms of the king of the south shall withstand, and his chosen ones shall rise up, but there shall be no strength to stand. |
|
 11:15
So the kingº
of the northº
shall come,ºº
and cast upºº
a mount,º
and takeºº
the most fencedº
cities:º
and the armsº
of the southº
shall notº
withstand,ºº
neither his chosenº
people,º
neitherº
[shall there be any] strengthº
to withstand.ºº |
 11:16
And he that comes in against him shall do according to his will, and there is no one to stand before him: and he shall stand in the land of beauty, and it shall be consumed by his hand. |
|
 11:16
But he that comethºº
againstº
him shall doºº
according to his own will,º
and noneº
shall standºº
beforeº
him: and he shall standºº
in the gloriousº
land,º
which by his handº
shall be consumed.ºº |
 11:17
And he shall set his face to come in with the force of his whole kingdom, and shall cause everything to prosper with him: and he shall give him the daughter of women to corrupt her: but she shall not continue, neither be on his side. |
|
 11:17
He shall also setºº
his faceº
to enterºº
with the strengthº
of his wholeº
kingdom,º
and upright onesº
withº
him; thus shall he do:ºº
and he shall giveºº
him the daughterº
of women,º
corruptingºº
her: but she shall notº
standºº
[on his side], neitherº
beº
for him. |
 11:18
And he shall turn his face to the islands, and shall take many, and cause princes to cease from their reproach: nevertheless his own reproach shall return to him. |
|
 11:18
After this shall he turnººººº
his faceº
unto the isles,º
and shall takeºº
many:º
but a princeº
for his own behalf shall cause the reproachº
offered by him to cease;ºº
withoutº
his own reproachº
he shall cause [it] to turnºº
upon him. |
 11:19
Then he shall turn back his face to the strength of his own land: but he shall become weak, and fall, and not be found. |
|
 11:19
Then he shall turnºº
his faceº
toward the fortº
of his own land:º
but he shall stumbleºº
and fall,ºº
and notº
be found.ºº |
 11:20
And there shall arise out of his root one that shall cause a plant of the kingdom to pass over his place, earning kingly glory: and yet in those days shall he be broken, yet not openly, nor in war. |
|
 11:20
Then shall stand upºº
inº
his estateº
a raiserºº
of taxesºº
[in] the gloryº
of the kingdom:º
but within fewº
daysº
he shall be destroyed,ºº
neitherº
in anger,º
norº
in battle.º |
 11:21
[One] shall stand on his place, [who] has been set a nought, and they have not put upon him the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in prosperously, and obtain the kingdom by deceitful ways. |
|
 11:21
And inº
his estateº
shall stand upºº
a vile person,ºº
toº
whom they shall notº
giveºº
the honourº
of the kingdom:º
but he shall comeºº
inº
peaceably,º
and obtainºº
the kingdomº
by flatteries.º |
 11:22
And the arms of him that overflows shall be washed away as with a flood from before him, and shall be broken, and [so shall be] the head of the covenant. |
|
 11:22
And with the armsº
of a floodº
shall they be overflownºº
from beforeºº
him, and shall be broken;ºº
yea, alsoº
the princeº
of the covenant.º |
 11:23
And because of the leagues made with him he shall work deceit: and he shall come up, and overpower them with a small nation. |
|
 11:23
And afterº
the leagueºº
[made] withº
him he shall workºº
deceitfully:º
for he shall come up,ºº
and shall become strongºº
with a smallº
people.º |
 11:24
And he shall enter with prosperity, and [that] into fertile districts; and he shall do what his fathers and his fathers' fathers have not done; he shall scatter among them plunder, and spoils, and wealth; and he shall devise plans against Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, even for a time. |
|
 11:24
He shall enterºº
peaceablyº
even upon the fattest placesº
of the province;º
and he shall doºº
[that] whichº
his fathersº
have notº
done,ºº
nor his fathers'º
fathers;º
he shall scatterºº
among them the prey,º
and spoil,º
and riches:º
[yea], and he shall forecastºº
his devicesº
againstº
the strong holds,º
even forº
a time.º |
 11:25
And his strength and his heart shall be stirred up against the king of the south with a great force; and the king of the south shall engage in war with a great and very strong force; but [his forces] shall not stand, for they shall devise plans against him: |
|
 11:25
And he shall stir upºº
his powerº
and his courageº
againstº
the kingº
of the southº
with a greatº
army;º
and the kingº
of the southº
shall be stirred upºº
to battleº
with a veryºº
greatº
and mightyº
army;º
but he shall notº
stand:ºº
forº
they shall forecastºº
devicesº
againstº
him. |
 11:26
and they shall eat his provisions, and shall crush him, and he shall carry away armies as with a flood, and many shall fall down slain. |
|
 11:26
Yea, they that feedºº
of the portion of his meatº
shall destroyºº
him, and his armyº
shall overflow:ºº
and manyº
shall fallºº
downº
slain.º |
 11:27
And [as for] both the kings, their hearts [are set] upon mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper; for yet the end is for a [fixed] time. |
|
 11:27
And bothº
these kings'º
heartsº
[shall be] to do mischief,ººº
and they shall speakºº
liesº
atº
oneº
table;º
but it shall notº
prosper:ºº
forº
yetº
the endº
[shall be] at the time appointed.º |
 11:28
And he shall return to his land with much substance; and his heart [shall be] against the holy covenant; and he shall perform [great deeds], and return to his own land. |
|
 11:28
Then shall he returnºº
into his landº
with greatº
riches;º
and his heartº
[shall be] againstº
the holyº
covenant;º
and he shall doºº
[exploits], and returnºº
to his own land.º |
 11:29
At the [set] time he shall return, and shall come into the south, but the last [expedition] shall [not] be as the first. |
|
 11:29
At the time appointedº
he shall return,ºº
and comeºº
toward the south;º
but it shall notº
beº
as the former,º
or as the latter.º |
 11:30 ¶
For the Citians issuing forth shall come against him, and he shall be brought low, and shall return, and shall be incensed against the holy covenant: and he shall do [thus], and shall return, and have intelligence with them that have forsaken the holy covenant. |
|
 11:30 ¶
For the shipsº
of Chittimº
shall comeºº
against him: therefore he shall be grieved,ºº
and return,ºº
and have indignationºº
againstº
the holyº
covenant:º
so shall he do;ºº
he shall even return,ºº
and have intelligenceºº
withº
them that forsakeºº
the holyº
covenant.º |
 11:31
And seeds shall spring up out of him, and they shall profane the sanctuary of strength, and they shall remove the perpetual [sacrifice], and make the abomination desolate. |
|
 11:31
And armsº
shall standºº
on his part,º
and they shall polluteºº
the sanctuaryº
of strength,º
and shall take awayºº
the dailyº
[sacrifice], and they shall placeºº
the abominationº
that maketh desolate.ºº |
 11:32
And the transgressors shall bring about a covenant by deceitful ways: but a people knowing their God shall prevail, and do [valiantly]. |
|
 11:32
And such as do wickedlyºº
againstº
the covenantº
shall he corruptºº
by flatteries:º
but the peopleº
that do knowºº
their Elohimº
shall be strong,ºº
and doºº
[exploits]. |
 11:33
And the intelligent of the people shall understand much: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, and by captivity, and by spoil of [many] days. |
|
 11:33
And they that understandºº
among the peopleº
shall instructºº
many:º
yet they shall fallºº
by the sword,º
and by flame,º
by captivity,º
and by spoil,º
[many] days.º |
 11:34
And when they are weak they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall attach themselves to them with treachery. |
|
 11:34
Now when they shall fall,ºº
they shall be holpenºº
with a littleº
help:º
but manyº
shall cleaveºº
toº
them with flatteries.º |
 11:35
And [some] of them that understand shall fall, to try them as with fire, and to test [them], and that they may be manifested at the time of the end, for the matter [is] yet for a [set] time. |
|
 11:35
And [some] ofº
them of understandingºº
shall fall,ºº
to tryºº
them, and to purge,ºº
and to make [them] white,ºº
[even] toº
the timeº
of the end:º
becauseº
[it is] yetº
for a time appointed.º |
 11:36
And he shall do according to his will, and the king shall exalt and magnify himself against every god, and shall speak great swelling words, and shall prosper until the indignation shall be accomplished: for it is coming to an end. |
|
 11:36
And the kingº
shall doºº
according to his will;º
and he shall exaltºº
himself,º
and magnifyºº
himselfº
aboveº
everyº
el,º
and shall speakºº
marvellous thingsºº
againstº
the Elº
of elim,º
and shall prosperºº
tillº
the indignationº
be accomplished:ºº
forº
that that is determinedºº
shall be done.ºº |
 11:37
And he shall not regard any gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women, neither shall he regard any deity: for he shall magnify himself above all. |
|
 11:37
Neither shall he regardºººº
the Elohimº
of his fathers,º
nor the desireº
of women,º
nor regardºº
anyººº
eloah:º
forº
he shall magnifyºº
himselfº
aboveº
all.º |
 11:38
And he shall honour the god of forces on his place: and a god whom his fathers knew not he shall honour with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and desirable things. |
|
 11:38
But inº
his estateº
shall he honourºº
the Eloahº
of forces:º
and an eloahº
whomº
his fathersº
knewºº
notº
shall he honourºº
with gold,º
and silver,º
and with preciousº
stones,º
and pleasant things.ºº |
 11:39
And he shall do [thus] in the strong places of refuge with a strange god, and shall increase his glory: and he shall subject many to them, and shall distribute the land in gifts. |
|
 11:39
Thus shall he doºº
in the most strongº
holdsºº
withº
a strangeº
eloah,º
whomº
he shall acknowledgeºººº
[and] increaseºº
with glory:º
and he shall cause them to ruleºº
over many,º
and shall divideºº
the landº
for gain.º |
 11:40
And at the end of the time he shall conflict with the king of the south: and the king of the north shall come against him with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and they shall enter into the land: and he shall break in pieces, and pass on: |
|
 11:40
And at the timeº
of the endº
shall the kingº
of the southº
pushºº
atº
him: and the kingº
of the northº
shall come against him like a whirlwind,ººº
with chariots,º
and with horsemen,º
and with manyº
ships;º
and he shall enterºº
into the countries,º
and shall overflowºº
and pass over.ºº |
 11:41
and he shall enter into the land of beauty, and many shall fail: but these shall escape out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. |
|
 11:41
He shall enterºº
also into the gloriousº
land,º
and manyº
[countries] shall be overthrown:ºº
but theseº
shall escapeºº
out of his hand,ºº
[even] Edom,º
and Moab,º
and the chiefº
of the childrenº
of Ammon.º |
 11:42
And he shall stretch forth [his] hand over the land; and the land of Mizraim{gr.Egypt} shall not escape. |
|
 11:42
He shall stretch forthºº
his handº
also upon the countries:º
and the landº
of Egyptº
shall notº
escape.ºº |
 11:43
And he shall have the mastery over the secret [treasures] of gold and silver, and over all the desirable [possessions] of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, and of the Libyans and Ethiopians in their strongholds. |
|
 11:43
But he shall have powerºº
over the treasuresº
of goldº
and of silver,º
and over allº
the preciousº
thingsº
of Egypt:º
and the Libyansº
and the Ethiopiansº
[shall be] at his steps.º |
 11:44
But rumors and anxieties out of the east and from the north shall trouble him; and he shall come with great wrath to destroy many. |
|
 11:44
But tidingsº
out of the eastºº
and out of the northºº
shall troubleºº
him: therefore he shall go forthºº
with greatº
furyº
to destroy,ºº
and utterly to make awayºº
many.º |
 11:45
And he shall pitch the tabernacle of his palace between the seas in the holy mountain of beauty: [but] he shall come to his portion, and there is none to deliver him. |
|
 11:45
And he shall plantºº
the tabernaclesº
of his palaceº
betweenº
the seasº
in the gloriousº
holyº
mountain;º
yet he shall comeºº
toº
his end,º
and noneº
shall helpºº
him. |
