Daniel 11:23-25

Common English Bible

²³ From the moment they make an agreement with him, he will act deceitfully. He will gain power at the expense of a small nation. ²⁴ He will come into a province’s richest places untroubled and will do what his fathers and grandfathers never could. He will hand out plunder, spoil, and wealth to them. He will make plans against fortresses, but only for a time.

²⁵ “Then with a large army he will gather his strength and courage against the southern king. The southern king, with a large and super powerful army, will prepare for war, but he won’t endure because they will make plans against him.
