Daniel 11:21-24

Christian Standard Bible

²¹ “In his place a despised^(A) person will arise; royal honors will not be given to him, but he will come during a time of peace^[a](B) and seize the kingdom by intrigue. ²² A flood of forces will be swept away before him; they will be broken, as well as the covenant prince. ²³ After an alliance is made with him, he will act deceitfully. He will rise to power with a small nation.^{[b] 24} During a time of peace,^[c] he will come into the richest parts of the province^(C) and do what his fathers and predecessors never did. He will lavish plunder, loot, and wealth on his followers, and he will make plans against fortified cities, but only for a time.
