The Rise of the Vile Person (Antiochus IV)

21

And there shall stand up in his place one despised, and the kingly honour shall not be given him: and he shall come privately, and shall obtain the kingdom by fraud.

22

And the arms of the fighter shall be overcome before his face, and shall be broken: yea, also the prince of the covenant.

23

And after friendships, he will deal deceitfully with him: and he shall go up, and shall overcome with a small people.

24

And he shall enter into rich and plentiful cities: and he shall do that which his fathers never did, nor his fathers' fathers: he shall scatter their spoils, and their prey, and their riches, and shall forecast devices against the best fenced places: and this until a time.

25

And his strength, and his heart, shall be stirred up against the king of the south, with a great army: and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with many and very strong succours: and they shall not stand, for they shall form designs against him.

26

And they that eat bread with him, shall destroy him, and his army shall be overthrown: and many shall fall down slain.

27

And the heart of the two kings shall be to do evil, and they shall speak lies at one table, and they shall not prosper: because as yet the end is unto another time.

28

And he shall return into his land with much riches: and his heart shall be against the holy covenant, and he shall succeed, and shall return into his own land.

29

At the time appointed he shall return, and he shall come to the south, but the latter time shall not be like the former.

30

And the galleys and the Romans shall come upon him, and he shall be struck, and shall return, and shall have indignation against the covenant of the sanctuary, and he shall succeed: and he shall return, and shall devise against them that have forsaken the covenant of the sanctuary.
