Daniel 11:13-15
New English Translation

13 For the king of the north will again muster an army, one larger than before. At the end of some years he will advance with a huge army and enormous supplies.

14 “In those times many will oppose[a] the king of the south.[b] Those who are violent[c] among your own people will rise up in confirmation of[d] the vision, but they will falter. 15 Then the king of the north will advance and will build siege mounds and capture a well-fortified city.[e] The forces of the south will not prevail, not even his finest contingents.[f] They will have no strength to prevail.
