36
And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
38
But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathersknew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with preciousstones, and pleasant things.
39
Thus shall he do in the most strongholds with a strangegod, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
40
And at the time of the end shall the king of the southpush at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with manyships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
41
He shall enter also into the gloriousland, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
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.
44
But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with greatfury to destroy, and utterly to make awaymany.
45
And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the gloriousholymountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
