And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet threekings in Persia; and the fourth shall be farricher than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
4
And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the fourwinds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.
5
And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a greatdominion.
6
And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king'sdaughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the 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 these times.
