Daniel 11:32-45

32 And by ^asmooth words he will ¹turn to godlessness those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will display ^bstrength and take action. 33 And ¹^athose who have insight among the people will give understanding to the many; yet they will ^bfall by sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for many days. 34 Now when they fall, they will be granted a little help, and many will ^ajoin with them in ¹^bintrigue. 35 And some of ¹those who have insight will fall, in order to ^arefine, ^bpurge, and make them ²^cpure until the time of the ^dend, because it is still to come at the appointed time.
36 “Then the king will ^ado as he pleases, and he will exalt and ^bmagnify himself above every god and will ^cspeak ¹astonishing things against the ^dGod of gods; and he will succeed until the ^eindignation is finished, for that which is ^fdecreed will be done. 37 He will show no regard for the ¹gods of his fathers or for the desire of women, nor will he show regard for any other god; for he will magnify himself above them all. 38 But ¹instead he will honor a god of fortresses, a god whom his fathers did not know; he will honor him with gold, silver, costly stones, and desirable things. 39 And he will take action against the strongest of fortresses with the help of a foreign god; he will give great honor to ¹those who recognize him and will cause them to rule over the many and will apportion land for a price.
40 “And at ^athe time of the end, the ^bking of the South will collide with him, and the ^cking of the North will ^dstorm against him with chariots, with horsemen, and with many ships; and he will enter lands, ^eoverflow them, and pass through. 41 And he will also enter the ¹^aBeautiful Land, and many countries will fall; but these will be rescued out of his hand: Edom, ^bMoab, and the foremost of the sons of ^cAmmon. 42 Then he will send forth his hand against other countries, and the land of Egypt will not escape. 43 But he will rule over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and over all the desirable things of Egypt; and ^aLibyans and ^bEthiopians will follow at his ¹heels. 44 But reports from the East and from the North will dismay him, and he will go forth with great wrath to destroy and ¹devote many to destruction. 45 And he will pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between the seas and the beautiful ^aHoly Mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.
