Daniel 11:1 (NRSV) New Revised Standard Version

1 As for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to support and strengthen him.
2 "Now I will announce the truth to you. Three more kings shall arise in Persia. The fourth shall be far richer than all of them, and when he has become strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.
3 Then a warrior king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion and take action as he pleases.
4 And while still rising in power, his kingdom shall be broken and divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to the dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be uprooted and go to others besides these.
5 "Then the king of the south shall grow strong, but one of his officers shall grow stronger than he and shall rule a realm greater than his own realm.
6 After some years they shall make an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to ratify the agreement. But she shall not retain her power, and his offspring shall not endure. She shall be given up, she and her attendants and her child and the one who supported her. "In those times
7 a branch from her roots shall rise up in his place. He shall come against the army and enter the fortress of the king of the north, and he shall take action against them and prevail.
8 Even their gods, with their idols and with their precious vessels of silver and gold, he shall carry off to Egypt as spoils of war. For some years he shall refrain from attacking the king of the north;
9 then the latter shall invade the realm of the king of the south, but will return to his own land.
10 "His sons shall wage war and assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall advance like a flood and pass through, and again shall carry the war as far as his fortress.
11 Moved with rage, the king of the south shall go out and do battle against the king of the north, who shall muster a great multitude, which shall, however, be defeated by his enemy.
12 When the multitude has been carried off, his heart shall be exalted, and he shall overthrow tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.
13 For the king of the north shall again raise a multitude, larger than the former, and after some years he shall advance with a great army and abundant supplies.
14 "In those times many shall rise against the king of the south. The lawless among your own people shall lift themselves up in order to fulfill the vision, but they shall fail.
15 Then the king of the north shall come and throw up siegeworks, and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not stand, not even his picked troops, for there shall be no strength to resist.
16 But he who comes against him shall take the actions he pleases, and no one shall withstand him. He shall take a position in the beautiful land, and all of it shall be in his power.
17 He shall set his mind to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and he shall bring terms of peace and perform them. In order to destroy the kingdom, he shall give him a woman in marriage; but it shall not succeed or be to his advantage.
18 Afterward he shall turn to the coastlands, and shall capture many. But a commander shall put an end to his insolence; indeed, he shall turn his insolence back upon him.
19 Then he shall turn back toward the fortresses of his own land, but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.
20 "Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an official for the glory of the kingdom; but within a few days he shall be broken, though not in anger or in battle.
21 In his place shall arise a contemptible person on whom royal majesty had not been conferred; he shall come in without warning and obtain the kingdom through intrigue.
22 Armies shall be utterly swept away and broken before him, and the prince of the covenant as well.
23 And after an alliance is made with him, he shall act deceitfully and become strong with a small party.
24 Without warning he shall come into the richest parts of the province and do what none of his predecessors had ever done, lavishing plunder, spoil, and wealth on them. He shall devise plans against strongholds, but only for a time.
25 He shall stir up his power and determination against the king of the south with a great army, and the king of the south shall wage war with a much greater and stronger army. But he shall not succeed, for plots shall be devised against him
26 by those who eat of the royal rations. They shall break him, his army shall be swept away, and many shall fall slain.
27 The two kings, their minds bent on evil, shall sit at one table and exchange lies. But it shall not succeed, for there remains an end at the time appointed.
28 He shall return to his land with great wealth, but his heart shall be set against the holy covenant. He shall work his will, and return to his own land.
29 "At the time appointed he shall return and come into the south, but this time it shall not be as it was before.
30 For ships of Kittim shall come against him, and he shall lose heart and withdraw. He shall be enraged and take action against the holy covenant. He shall turn back and pay heed to those who forsake the holy covenant.
31 Forces sent by him shall occupy and profane the temple and fortress. They shall abolish the regular burnt offering and set up the abomination that makes desolate.
32 He shall seduce with intrigue those who violate the covenant; but the people who are loyal to their God shall stand firm and take action.
33 The wise among the people shall give understanding to many; for some days, however, they shall fall by sword and flame, and suffer captivity and plunder.
34 When they fall victim, they shall receive a little help, and many shall join them insincerely.
35 Some of the wise shall fall, so that they may be refined, purified, and cleansed, until the time of the end, for there is still an interval until the time appointed.
36 "The king shall act as he pleases. He shall exalt himself and consider himself greater than any god, and shall speak horrendous things against the God of gods. He shall prosper until the period of wrath is completed, for what is determined shall be done.
37 He shall pay no respect to the gods of his ancestors, or to the one beloved by women; he shall pay no respect to any other god, for he shall consider himself greater than all.
38 He shall honor the god of fortresses instead of these; a god whom his ancestors did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts.
39 He shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god. Those who acknowledge him he shall make more wealthy, and shall appoint them as rulers over many, and shall distribute the land for a price.
40 "At the time of the end the king of the south shall attack him. But the king of the north shall rush upon him like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, and with many ships. He shall advance against countries and pass through like a flood.
41 He shall come into the beautiful land, and tens of thousands shall fall victim, but Edom and Moab and the main part of the Ammonites shall escape from his power.
42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 He shall become ruler of the treasures of gold and of silver, and all the riches of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall follow in his train.
44 But reports from the east and the north shall alarm him, and he shall go out with great fury to bring ruin and complete destruction to many.
45 He shall pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with no one to help him.
1 Also I H589 W-PPRO-1MS in the first H259 CFS year H8141 B-CFS of Darius H1867 L-NAME the Mede H4075 D-PLAC , even I , stood H5975 VQQ1MS to confirm H2388 LM-VHPMS and to strengthen H4581 him .
2 And now H6258 W-ADV will I show H5046 VHY3MS thee the truth H571 CFS . Behold H2009 IJEC , there shall stand up H5975 VQPMP yet H5750 ADV three H7969 NFS kings H4428 NMP in Persia H6539 L-PLAC ; and the fourth H7243 WD-ONUM shall be far richer H6238 VHY3MS than they all H3605 M-NMS : and by his strength H2393 WK-CFS-3MS through his riches H6239 NMS he shall stir up H5782 VHY3MS all H3605 M-NMS against H854 the realm H4438 CFP of Greece H3120 PLAC .
3 And a mighty H1368 AMS king H4428 NMS shall stand up H5975 W-VQQ3MS , that shall rule H4910 W-VQQ3MS with great H7227 AMS dominion H4474 NMS , and do H6213 W-VQQ3MS according to his will H7522 K-NMS-3MS .
4 And when he shall stand up H5975 WK-VQFC-3MS , his kingdom H4438 CFP-3MS shall be broken H7665 VNY3FS , and shall be divided H2673 W-VNI3FS toward the four H702 L-NUM winds H7307 CFP of heaven H8064 D-NMS ; and not H3808 W-NPAR to his posterity H319 L-CFS-3MS , nor H3808 W-NPAR according to his dominion H4915 K-NMS-3MS which H834 RPRO he ruled H4910 VQQ3MS : for H3588 CONJ his kingdom H4438 CFP-3MS shall be plucked up H5428 VNY3FS , even for others H312 WL-NMP beside H905 ML-NMS those H428 DPRO .
5 And the king H4428 NMS of the south H5045 D-NMS shall be strong H2388 W-VQY3MS , and one of H4480 W-PREP his princes H8269 CMP-3MS ; and he shall be strong H2388 W-VQY3MS above H5921 PREP-3MS him , and have dominion H4910 W-VQQ3MS ; his dominion H4474 NMS shall be a great H7227 AMS dominion H4474 NMS .
6 And in the end H7093 of years H8141 NFP they shall join themselves together H2266 ; for the king H4428 NMS \'s daughter H1323 of the south H5045 D-NMS shall come H935 VQY2MS to H413 PREP the king H4428 NMS of the north H6828 to make H6213 L-VQFC an agreement H4339 : but she shall not H3808 W-NPAR retain H6113 the power H3581 of the arm H2220 ; neither H3808 W-NPAR shall he stand H5975 VQY3MS , nor his arm H2220 : but she H1931 PPRO-3FS shall be given up H5414 , and they that brought H935 VQY2MS her , and he that begot H3205 her , and he that strengthened H2388 her in these times H6256 .
7 But out of a branch H5342 of her roots H8328 shall one stand up H5975 W-VQQ3MS in his estate H3653 , which shall come H935 W-VQY3MS with H413 PREP an army H2428 , and shall enter H935 W-VQY3MS into the fortress H4581 of the king H4428 NMS of the north H6828 , and shall deal H6213 W-VQQ3MS against them , and shall prevail H2388 :
8 And shall also H1571 W-CONJ carry H935 captives H7628 into Egypt H4714 their gods H430 , with H5973 PREP their princes H5257 , and with H5973 PREP their precious H2532 vessels H3627 of silver H3701 NMS and of gold H2091 ; and he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS shall continue H5975 VQY3MS more years H8141 NFP than the king H4428 of the north H6828 .
9 So the king H4428 NMS of the south H5045 D-NMS shall come H935 into his kingdom H4438 , and shall return H7725 W-VQQ3MS into H413 PREP his own land H127 .
10 But his sons H1121 shall be stirred up H1624 , and shall assemble H622 a multitude H1995 of great H7227 AMP forces H2428 : and one shall certainly come H935 , and overflow H7857 , and pass through H5674 : then shall he return H7725 , and be stirred up H1624 , even to H5704 PREP his fortress H4581 .
11 And the king H4428 NMS of the south H5045 D-NMS shall be moved with anger H4843 , and shall come forth H3318 and fight H3898 with H5973 PREP-3MS him , even with H5973 PREP the king H4428 NMS of the north H6828 : and he shall set forth H5975 a great H7227 AMS multitude H1995 NMS ; but the multitude H1995 shall be given H5414 into his hand H3027 B-CFS-3MS .
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 W-NPAR be strengthened H5810 by it .
13 For the king H4428 NMS of the north H6828 shall return H7725 W-VQQ3MS , and shall set forth H5975 a multitude H1995 NMS greater H7227 AMS than H4480 PREP the former H7223 , and shall certainly come H935 VQY3MS after H7093 certain H6256 years H8141 NFP with a great H1419 AMS army H2428 and with much H7227 AMS riches H7399 .
14 And in those H1992 D-PPRO-3MP times H6256 there shall many H7227 AMP stand up H5975 against H5921 PREP the king H4428 NMS of the south H5045 D-NMS : also the robbers H1121 W-CMP of thy people H5971 shall exalt themselves H5375 to establish H5975 the vision H2377 ; but they shall fall H3782 .
15 So the king H4428 NMS of the north H6828 shall come H935 W-VQY3MS , and cast up H8210 a mount H5550 , and take H3920 the most fenced H4013 cities H5892 GFS : and the arms H2220 W-CFP of the south H5045 D-NMS shall not H3808 NADV withstand H5975 , neither his chosen H4005 people H5971 , neither H369 W-NPAR shall there be any strength H3581 CMS to withstand H5975 .
16 But he that cometh H935 against H413 PREP-3MS him shall do H6213 according to his own will H7522 , and none H369 W-NPAR shall stand H5975 before H6440 L-CMP-3MS him : and he shall stand H5975 in the glorious H6643 land H776 B-GFS , which by his hand H3027 shall be consumed H3615 .
17 He shall also set H7760 W-VQI3MS his face H6440 CMP-3MS to enter H935 L-VQFC with the strength H8633 of his whole H3605 NMS kingdom H4438 CFP-3MS , and upright ones H3477 with H5973 PREP-3MS him ; thus shall he do H6213 W-VQQ3MS : and he shall give H5414 VQY3MS him the daughter H1323 of women H802 D-NFP , corrupting H7843 her : but she shall not H3808 W-NPAR stand H5975 on his side , neither H3808 W-NPAR be H1961 for him .
18 After this shall he turn H7725 his face H6440 CMP-3MS unto the isles H339 , and shall take H3920 many H7227 AMP : but a prince H7101 for his own behalf shall cause the reproach H2781 offered by him to cease H7673 ; without H1115 PREP his own reproach H2781 he shall cause it to turn H7725 VHY3MS upon him .
19 Then he shall turn H7725 his face H6440 CMP-3MS toward the fort H4581 of his own land H776 : but he shall stumble H3782 and fall H5307 , and not H3808 W-NPAR be found H4672 .
20 Then shall stand up H5975 W-VQQ3MS in H5921 PREP his estate H3653 a raiser H5674 of taxes H5065 VQPMS in the glory H1925 of the kingdom H4438 CFP : but within few H259 days H3117 he shall be destroyed H7665 , neither H3808 W-NPAR in anger H639 , nor H3808 W-NPAR in battle H4421 .
21 And in H5921 PREP his estate H3653 shall stand up H5975 W-VQQ3MS a vile person H959 , to H5921 PREP whom they shall not H3808 W-NPAR give H5414 the honor H1935 CMS of the kingdom H4438 CFP : but he shall come in H935 peaceably H7962 , and obtain H2388 the kingdom H4438 CFP by flatteries H2519 .
22 And with the arms H2220 W-CFP of a flood H7858 shall they be overflown H7857 from before H6440 him , and shall be broken H7665 ; yea , also H1571 W-CONJ the prince H5057 of the covenant H1285 .
23 And after H4480 W-PREP the league H2266 made with H413 PREP-3MS him he shall work H6213 VQY3MS deceitfully H4820 NFS : for he shall come up H5927 , and shall become strong H6105 with a small H4592 people H1471 .
24 He shall enter H935 VQY3MS peaceably H7962 even upon the fattest places H4924 of the province H4082 ; and he shall do H6213 W-VQQ3MS that which H834 RPRO his fathers H1 have not H3808 NADV done H6213 W-VQQ3MS , 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 W-PREP the strongholds H4013 , even for H5704 W-PREP a time H6256 NMS .
25 And he shall stir up H5782 his power H3581 CMS-3MS and his courage H3824 against H5921 PREP the king H4428 NMS of the south H5045 D-NMS with a great H1419 AMS army H2428 ; and the king H4428 NMS of the south H5045 D-NMS shall be stirred up H1624 to battle H4421 with a very H5704 PREP great H1419 AMS and mighty H6099 army H2428 ; but he shall not H3808 W-NPAR stand H5975 VQY3MS : for H3588 CONJ they shall forecast H2803 devices H4284 against H5921 PREP him .
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 AMP shall fall down H5307 slain H2491 NMP .
27 And both H8147 these kings H4428 \' hearts H3824 shall be to do mischief H4827 , and they shall speak H1696 VPY3MP lies H3577 at H5921 W-PREP one H259 MMS table H7979 ; but it shall not H3808 W-NPAR prosper H6743 : for H3588 CONJ yet H5750 ADV the end H7093 RMS shall be at the time appointed H4150 .
28 Then shall he return H7725 into his land H776 with great H1419 AMS riches H7399 ; and his heart H3824 shall be against H5921 PREP the holy H6944 covenant H1285 NFS ; and he shall do H6213 W-VQQ3MS exploits , and return H7725 W-VQQ3MS to his own land H776 .
29 At the time appointed H4150 he shall return H7725 VQY3MS , and come H935 toward the south H5045 ; but it shall not H3808 W-NPAR be H1961 as the former H7223 , or as the latter H314 .
30 For the ships H6716 of Chittim H3794 W-EMS shall come H935 against him : therefore he shall be grieved H3512 , and return H7725 W-VQQ3MS , and have indignation H2194 against H5921 PREP the holy H6944 covenant H1285 : so shall he do H6213 W-VQQ3MS ; he shall even return H7725 W-VQQ3MS , and have intelligence H995 with H5921 PREP them that forsake H5800 the holy H6944 covenant H1285 NFS .
31 And arms H2220 shall stand H5975 on his part H4480 M-PREP-3MS , 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 H7561 the covenant H1285 CFS shall he corrupt H2610 by flatteries H2514 : but the people H5971 that do know H3045 VQPMS their God H430 CMP-3MS shall be strong H2388 , and do H6213 exploits .
33 And they that understand H7919 among the people H5971 NMS shall instruct H995 VQY3MP 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 NMP .
34 Now when they shall fall H3782 , they shall be helped H5826 with a little H4592 help H5828 NMS : but many H7227 AMP shall cleave H3867 to H5921 PREP-3MP them with flatteries H2519 .
35 And some of H4480 W-PREP them of understanding H7919 shall fall H3782 , to try H6884 them , and to purge H1305 , and to make them white H3835 , even to H5704 PREP the time H6256 NMS of the end H7093 RMS : because H3588 CONJ it is yet H5750 ADV for a time appointed H4150 .
36 And the king H4428 D-NMS shall do H6213 W-VQQ3MS according to his will H7522 ; and he shall exalt himself H7311 , and magnify himself H1431 above H5921 PREP every H3605 NMS god H410 EDS , and shall speak H1696 VPY3MS marvelous things H6381 VNPFP against H5921 PREP the God H410 EDS of gods H410 NMP , and shall prosper H6743 till H5704 PREP the indignation H2195 be accomplished H3615 VQQ3MS : for H3588 CONJ that that is determined H2782 shall be done H6213 W-VQQ3MS .
37 Neither shall he regard H5921 PREP the God H430 CDP of his fathers H1 , nor the desire H2532 of women H802 GFP , nor regard any H3605 NMS god H433 NAME-4MS : for H3588 CONJ he shall magnify himself H1431 above H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS .
38 But in H5921 PREP his estate H3653 shall he honor H3513 the God H433 of forces H4581 : and a god H433 whom H834 RPRO his fathers H1 knew H3045 not H3808 NADV shall he honor H3513 with gold H2091 , and silver H3701 , and with precious H3368 stones H68 , and pleasant things H2530 .
39 Thus shall he do H6213 W-VQQ3MS in the most strong holds H4013 with H5973 PREP a strange H5236 god H433 NAME-4MS , whom H834 RPRO 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 VPY3MS the land H127 for gain H4242 .
40 And at the time H6256 of the end H7093 RMS shall the king H4428 NMS of the south H5045 D-NMS push H5055 at H5973 PREP-3MS him : and the king H4428 NMS of the north H6828 shall come against him like a whirlwind H8175 , with chariots H7393 , and with horsemen H6571 , and with many H7227 AFP ships H591 ; and he shall enter H935 into the countries H776 , and shall overflow H7857 and pass over H5674 .
41 He shall enter H935 also into the glorious H6643 land H776 B-GFS , and many H7227 countries shall be overthrown H3782 : but these H428 W-PMP shall escape H4422 out of his hand H3027 M-CFS-3MS , even Edom H123 , and Moab H4124 , and the chief H7225 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 .
42 He shall stretch forth H7971 his hand H3027 CFS-3MS also upon the countries H776 : and the land H776 W-NFS of Egypt H4714 EFS shall not H3808 NADV escape H6413 .
43 But he shall have power H4910 W-VQQ3MS 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 H8052 out of the east H4217 and out of the north 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 AMP .
45 And he shall plant H5193 the tabernacles H168 of his palace H643 between H996 PREP the seas H3220 NMP in the glorious H6643 holy H6944 mountain H2022 ; yet he shall come H935 to H5704 PREP his end H7093 , and none H369 W-NPAR shall help H5826 him .
