Daniel 11:2

And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than [they] all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.

And now will I shew {H5046} thee the truth {H571}. Behold, there shall stand up {H5975} yet three {H7969} kings {H4428} in Persia {H6539}; and the fourth {H7243} shall be far {H6239} richer {H6238} than they all {H1419}: and by his strength {H2393} through his riches {H6239} he shall stir up {H5782} all against the realm {H4438} of Grecia {H3120}.

What I am going to tell you now is true. "Three kings will arise in Persia, followed by a fourth, who will be far wealthier than all of them; and when he has grown strong by means of his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.

Now then, I will tell you the truth: Three more kings will arise in Persia, and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others. By the power of his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.

And now will I show thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and when he is waxed strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.
