1. And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
|
1. Also I H589 in the first H259 year H8141 of Darius H1867 the Mede H4075 , even I, stood H5975 to confirm H2388 and to strengthen H4581 him.
|
|
2. 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 when he is waxed strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.
|
2. And now H6258 will I show H5046 thee the truth H571 . Behold H2009 , there shall stand up H5975 yet H5750 three H7969 kings H4428 in Persia H6539 ; and the fourth H7243 shall be far richer H6238 H1419 H6239 than they all H4480 H3605 : and by his strength H2393 through his riches H6239 he shall stir up H5782 all H3605 against H854 the realm H4438 of Greece H3120 .
|
|
3. And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
|
3. And a mighty H1368 king H4428 shall stand up H5975 , that shall rule H4910 with great H7227 dominion H4474 , and do H6213 according to his will H7522 .
|
|
4. And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion wherewith he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside these.
|
4. And when he shall stand up H5975 , his kingdom H4438 shall be broken H7665 , and shall be divided H2673 toward the four H702 winds H7307 of heaven H8064 ; and not H3808 to his posterity H319 , nor H3808 according to his dominion H4915 which H834 he ruled H4910 : for H3588 his kingdom H4438 shall be plucked up H5428 , even for others H312 beside H4480 H905 those H428 .
|
|
5. And the king of the south shall be strong, and {cf15i one} of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.
|
5. And the king H4428 of the south H5045 shall be strong H2388 , and one of H4480 his princes H8269 ; and he shall be strong H2388 above H5921 him , and have dominion H4910 ; his dominion H4474 shall be a great H7227 dominion H4474 .
|
|
6. And at the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the strength of her 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 those times.
|
6. And in the end H7093 of years H8141 they shall join themselves together H2266 ; for the king H4428 's daughter H1323 of the south H5045 shall come H935 to H413 the king H4428 of the north H6828 to make H6213 an agreement H4339 : but she shall not H3808 retain H6113 the power H3581 of the arm H2220 ; neither H3808 shall he stand H5975 , nor his arm H2220 : but she H1931 shall be given up H5414 , and they that brought H935 her , and he that begot H3205 her , and he that strengthened H2388 her in these times H6256 .
|
|
7. But out of a shoot from her roots shall one stand up in his place, which shall come unto the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:
|
7. But out of a branch H4480 H5342 of her roots H8328 shall one stand up H5975 in his estate H3653 , which shall come H935 with H413 an army H2428 , and shall enter H935 into the fortress H4581 of the king H4428 of the north H6828 , and shall deal H6213 against them , and shall prevail H2388 :
|
|
8. And also their gods, with their molten images, {cf15i and} with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall refrain some years from the king of the north.
|
8. And shall also H1571 carry H935 captives H7628 into Egypt H4714 their gods H430 , with H5973 their princes H5257 , and with H5973 their precious H2532 vessels H3627 of silver H3701 and of gold H2091 ; and he H1931 shall continue H5975 more years H8141 than the king H4480 H4428 of the north H6828 .
|
|
9. And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.
|
9. So the king H4428 of the south H5045 shall come H935 into his kingdom H4438 , and shall return H7725 into H413 his own land H127 .
|
|
10. And his sons shall war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces which shall come on, and overflow, and pass through: and they shall return and war, even to his fortress.
|
10. But his sons H1121 shall be stirred up H1624 , and shall assemble H622 a multitude H1995 of great H7227 forces H2428 : and one shall certainly come H935 H935 , and overflow H7857 , and pass through H5674 : then shall he return H7725 , and be stirred up H1624 , even to H5704 his fortress H4581 .
|
|
11. 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, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.
|
11. And the king H4428 of the south H5045 shall be moved with anger H4843 , and shall come forth H3318 and fight H3898 with H5973 him, even with H5973 the king H4428 of the north H6828 : and he shall set forth H5975 a great H7227 multitude H1995 ; but the multitude H1995 shall be given H5414 into his hand H3027 .
|
|
12. And the multitude shall be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted: and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.
|
12. And when he hath taken away H5375 the multitude H1995 , his heart H3824 shall be lifted up H7311 ; and he shall cast down H5307 many ten thousands H7239 : but he shall not H3808 be strengthened H5810 by it .
|
|
13. And the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former; and he shall come on at the end of the times, {cf15i even of} years, with a great army and with much substance.
|
13. For the king H4428 of the north H6828 shall return H7725 , and shall set forth H5975 a multitude H1995 greater H7227 than H4480 the former H7223 , and shall certainly come H935 H935 after H7093 certain H6256 years H8141 with a great H1419 army H2428 and with much H7227 riches H7399 .
|
|
14. And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the children of the violent among thy people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall fall.
|
14. And in those H1992 times H6256 there shall many H7227 stand up H5975 against H5921 the king H4428 of the south H5045 : also the robbers H1121 H6530 of thy people H5971 shall exalt themselves H5375 to establish H5975 the vision H2377 ; but they shall fall H3782 .
|
|
15. So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take a well fenced city: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.
|
15. So the king H4428 of the north H6828 shall come H935 , and cast up H8210 a mount H5550 , and take H3920 the most fenced H4013 cities H5892 : and the arms H2220 of the south H5045 shall not H3808 withstand H5975 , neither his chosen H4005 people H5971 , neither H369 shall there be any strength H3581 to withstand H5975 .
|
|
16. 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, and in his hand shall be destruction.
|
16. But he that cometh H935 against H413 him shall do H6213 according to his own will H7522 , and none H369 shall stand H5975 before H6440 him : and he shall stand H5975 in the glorious H6643 land H776 , which by his hand H3027 shall be consumed H3615 .
|
|
17. And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; and he shall do {cf15i his pleasure}: and he shall give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her; but she shall not stand, neither be for him.
|
17. He shall also set H7760 his face H6440 to enter H935 with the strength H8633 of his whole H3605 kingdom H4438 , and upright ones H3477 with H5973 him ; thus shall he do H6213 : and he shall give H5414 him the daughter H1323 of women H802 , corrupting H7843 her : but she shall not H3808 stand H5975 on his side , neither H3808 be H1961 for him.
|
|
18. After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yea, moreover, he shall cause his reproach to turn upon him.
|
18. After this shall he turn H7725 his face H6440 unto the isles H339 , and shall take H3920 many H7227 : but a prince H7101 for his own behalf shall cause the reproach H2781 offered by him to cease H7673 ; without H1115 his own reproach H2781 he shall cause it to turn H7725 upon him.
|
|
19. Then he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.
|
19. Then he shall turn H7725 his face H6440 toward the fort H4581 of his own land H776 : but he shall stumble H3782 and fall H5307 , and not H3808 be found H4672 .
|
|
20. Then shall stand up in his place one that shall cause an exactor to pass through the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
|
20. Then shall stand up H5975 in H5921 his estate H3653 a raiser H5674 of taxes H5065 in the glory H1925 of the kingdom H4438 : but within few H259 days H3117 he shall be destroyed H7665 , neither H3808 in anger H639 , nor H3808 in battle H4421 .
|
|
21. And in his place shall stand up a contemptible person, to whom they had not given the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
|
21. And in H5921 his estate H3653 shall stand up H5975 a vile person H959 , to H5921 whom they shall not H3808 give H5414 the honor H1935 of the kingdom H4438 : but he shall come in H935 peaceably H7962 , and obtain H2388 the kingdom H4438 by flatteries H2519 .
|
|
22. And with the arms of a flood shall they be swept away from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
|
22. And with the arms H2220 of a flood H7858 shall they be overflown H7857 from before H4480 H6440 him , and shall be broken H7665 ; yea, also H1571 the prince H5057 of the covenant H1285 .
|
|
23. And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong, with a small people.
|
23. And after H4480 the league H2266 made with H413 him he shall work H6213 deceitfully H4820 : for he shall come up H5927 , and shall become strong H6105 with a small H4592 people H1471 .
|
|
24. In time of security shall he come 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 prey, and spoil, and substance: yea, he shall devise his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
|
24. He shall enter H935 peaceably H7962 even upon the fattest places H4924 of the province H4082 ; and he shall do H6213 that which H834 his fathers H1 have not H3808 done H6213 , nor his fathers H1 ' fathers H1 ; he shall scatter H967 among them the prey H961 , and spoil H7998 , and riches H7399 : yea , and he shall forecast H2803 his devices H4284 against H5921 the strongholds H4013 , even for H5704 a time H6256 .
|
|
25. 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 war in battle with an exceeding great and mighty army: but he shall not stand, for they shall devise devices against him.
|
25. And he shall stir up H5782 his power H3581 and his courage H3824 against H5921 the king H4428 of the south H5045 with a great H1419 army H2428 ; and the king H4428 of the south H5045 shall be stirred up H1624 to battle H4421 with a very H5704 H3966 great H1419 and mighty H6099 army H2428 ; but he shall not H3808 stand H5975 : for H3588 they shall forecast H2803 devices H4284 against H5921 him.
|
|
26. Yea, they that eat of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
|
26. Yea , they that feed H398 of the portion of his meat H6598 shall destroy H7665 him , and his army H2428 shall overflow H7857 : and many H7227 shall fall down H5307 slain H2491 .
|
|
27. And as for both these kings, their 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.
|
27. And both H8147 these kings H4428 ' hearts H3824 shall be to do mischief H4827 , and they shall speak H1696 lies H3577 at H5921 one H259 table H7979 ; but it shall not H3808 prosper H6743 : for H3588 yet H5750 the end H7093 shall be at the time appointed H4150 .
|
|
28. Then shall he return into his land with great substance; and his heart {cf15i shall be} against the holy covenant; and he shall do {cf15i his pleasure}, and return to his own land.
|
28. Then shall he return H7725 into his land H776 with great H1419 riches H7399 ; and his heart H3824 shall be against H5921 the holy H6944 covenant H1285 ; and he shall do H6213 exploits , and return H7725 to his own land H776 .
|
|
29. At the time appointed he shall return, and come into the south; but it shall not be in the latter time as it was in the former.
|
29. At the time appointed H4150 he shall return H7725 , and come H935 toward the south H5045 ; but it shall not H3808 be H1961 as the former H7223 , or as the latter H314 .
|
|
30. For ships of Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and shall return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and shall do {cf15i his pleasure}: he shall even return, and have regard unto them that forsake the holy covenant.
|
30. For the ships H6716 of Chittim H3794 shall come H935 against him : therefore he shall be grieved H3512 , and return H7725 , and have indignation H2194 against H5921 the holy H6944 covenant H1285 : so shall he do H6213 ; he shall even return H7725 , and have intelligence H995 with H5921 them that forsake H5800 the holy H6944 covenant H1285 .
|
|
31. And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and shall take away the continual {cf15i burnt offering}; and they shall set up the abomination that maketh desolate.
|
31. And arms H2220 shall stand H5975 on his part H4480 , and they shall pollute H2490 the sanctuary H4720 of strength H4581 , and shall take away H5493 the daily H8548 sacrifice , and they shall place H5414 the abomination H8251 that maketh desolate H8074 .
|
|
32. And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries: but the people that know their God shall be strong, and do {cf15i exploits}.
|
32. And such as do wickedly against H7561 the covenant H1285 shall he corrupt H2610 by flatteries H2514 : but the people H5971 that do know H3045 their God H430 shall be strong H2388 , and do H6213 exploits .
|
|
33. And they that be wise among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil, {cf15i many} days.
|
33. And they that understand H7919 among the people H5971 shall instruct H995 many H7227 : yet they shall fall H3782 by the sword H2719 , and by flame H3852 , by captivity H7628 , and by spoil H961 , many days H3117 .
|
|
34. Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall join themselves unto them with flatteries.
|
34. Now when they shall fall H3782 , they shall be helped H5826 with a little H4592 help H5828 : but many H7227 shall cleave H3867 to H5921 them with flatteries H2519 .
|
|
35. And some of them that be wise shall fall, to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for the time appointed.
|
35. And some of H4480 them of understanding H7919 shall fall H3782 , to try H6884 them , and to purge H1305 , and to make them white H3835 , even to H5704 the time H6256 of the end H7093 : because H3588 it is yet H5750 for a time appointed H4150 .
|
|
36. And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods: and he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done.
|
36. And the king H4428 shall do H6213 according to his will H7522 ; and he shall exalt himself H7311 , and magnify himself H1431 above H5921 every H3605 god H410 , and shall speak H1696 marvelous things H6381 against H5921 the God H410 of gods H410 , and shall prosper H6743 till H5704 the indignation H2195 be accomplished H3615 : for H3588 that that is determined H2782 shall be done H6213 .
|
|
37. Neither shall he regard the gods his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
|
37. Neither shall he regard H5921 H3808 H995 the God H430 of his fathers H1 , nor the desire H2532 of women H802 , nor regard any H3605 H3808 H995 god H433 : for H3588 he shall magnify himself H1431 above H5921 all H3605 .
|
|
38. But in his place shall he honour the god of fortresses: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
|
38. But in H5921 his estate H3653 shall he honor H3513 the God H433 of forces H4581 : and a god H433 whom H834 his fathers H1 knew H3045 not H3808 shall he honor H3513 with gold H2091 , and silver H3701 , and with precious H3368 stones H68 , and pleasant things H2530 .
|
|
39. And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a strange god; whosoever acknowledgeth {cf15i him} he will increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price.
|
39. Thus shall he do H6213 in the most strong holds H4013 H4581 with H5973 a strange H5236 god H433 , whom H834 he shall acknowledge H5234 and increase H7235 with glory H3519 : and he shall cause them to rule H4910 over many H7227 , and shall divide H2505 the land H127 for gain H4242 .
|
|
40. And at the time of the end shall the king of the south contend with 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 through.
|
40. And at the time H6256 of the end H7093 shall the king H4428 of the south H5045 push H5055 at H5973 him : and the king H4428 of the north H6828 shall come against him like a whirlwind H8175 H5921 , with chariots H7393 , and with horsemen H6571 , and with many H7227 ships H591 ; and he shall enter H935 into the countries H776 , and shall overflow H7857 and pass over H5674 .
|
|
41. He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many {cf15i countries} shall be overthrown: but these shall be delivered out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
|
41. He shall enter H935 also into the glorious H6643 land H776 , and many H7227 countries shall be overthrown H3782 : but these H428 shall escape H4422 out of his hand H4480 H3027 , even Edom H123 , and Moab H4124 , and the chief H7225 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 .
|
|
42. He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
|
42. He shall stretch forth H7971 his hand H3027 also upon the countries H776 : and the land H776 of Egypt H4714 shall not H3808 escape H1961 H6413 .
|
|
43. 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.
|
43. But he shall have power H4910 over the treasures H4362 of gold H2091 and of silver H3701 , and over all H3605 the precious things H2530 of Egypt H4714 : and the Libyans H3864 and the Ethiopians H3569 shall be at his steps H4703 .
|
|
44. But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: and he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to make away many.
|
44. But tidings H8052 out of the east H4480 H4217 and out of the north H4480 H6828 shall trouble H926 him : therefore he shall go forth H3318 with great H1419 fury H2534 to destroy H8045 , and utterly to make away H2763 many H7227 .
|
|
45. And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
|
45. And he shall plant H5193 the tabernacles H168 of his palace H643 between H996 the seas H3220 in the glorious H6643 holy H6944 mountain H2022 ; yet he shall come H935 to H5704 his end H7093 , and none H369 shall help H5826 him.
