Daniel 11 describes a vision of events that occurred in the second century BC about the struggle between the Seleucids (the king of the north) and the Ptolemies (the king of the south). The chapter especially focusses on the Seleuciid king [[Antiochus Epiphanes]] who desecrated the Jewish Temple in [[Jerusalem]]. There is some debate about whether or not this prophecy was written by Daniel hundreds of years before the events as opposed to being written after the event ([[vaticinia ex eventu]]). Regardless it portrays God as being in control and sovereign.

Daniel 11 Text (WEB)
  1. "As for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
  2. Now will I show you 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 has grown strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.
  3. A mighty king shall stand up, who shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
  4. When he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of the sky, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others besides these.
  5. 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 great dominion.
  6. At the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the strength of her arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm; but she shall be given up, and those who brought her, and he who became the father of her, and he who strengthened her in those times.
  7. But out of a shoot from her roots shall one stand up in his place, who shall come to the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail.
  8. Also their gods, with their molten images, [and] with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall refrain some years from the king of the north.
  9. He shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.
  10. His sons shall war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall come on, and overflow, and pass through; and they shall return and war, even to his fortress.
  11. The king of the south shall be moved with anger, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north; and he shall set forth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.
  12. The multitude shall be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.
  13. The king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former; and he shall come on at the end of the times, [even of] years, with a great army and with much substance.
  14. In those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the children of the violent among your people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall fall.
  15. So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city: and the forces of the south shall not stand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to stand.
  16. But he who comes against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him; and he shall stand in the glorious land, and in his hand shall be destruction.
  17. He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions; and he shall perform them: and he shall give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her; but she shall not stand, neither be for him.
  18. After this shall he turn his face to the islands, and shall take many: but a prince shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yes, moreover, he shall cause his reproach to turn on him.
  19. Then he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land; but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.
  20. Then shall stand up in his place one who shall cause a tax collector to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory; but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
  21. In his place shall stand up a contemptible person, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
  22. The overwhelming forces shall be overwhelmed from before him, and shall be broken; yes, also the prince of the covenant.
  23. After the treaty made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall come up, and shall become strong, with a small people.
  24. In time of security shall he come even on the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them prey, and spoil, and substance: yes, he shall devise his devices against the strongholds, even for a time.
  25. He shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall war in battle with an exceeding great and mighty army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise devices against him.
  26. Yes, they who eat of his dainties shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow; and many shall fall down slain.
  27. As for both these kings, their hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table: but it shall not prosper; for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
  28. Then shall he return into his land with great substance; and his heart [shall be] against the holy covenant; and he shall do [his pleasure], and return to his own land.
  29. At the time appointed he shall return, and come into the south; but it shall not be in the latter time as it was in the former.
  30. For ships of Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and shall return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and shall do [his pleasure]: he shall even return, and have regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.
  31. Forces shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and shall take away the continual [burnt offering], and they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate.
  32. Such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits].
  33. Those who are wise among the people shall instruct many; yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil, [many] days.
  34. Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help; but many shall join themselves to them with flatteries.
  35. Some of those who are wise shall fall, to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end; because it is yet for the time appointed.
  36. The king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods; and he shall prosper until the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done.
  37. Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall magnify himself above all.
  38. But in his place shall he honor the god of fortresses; and a god whom his fathers didn't know shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
  39. He shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god: whoever acknowledges [him] he will increase with glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price.
  40. At the time of the end shall the king of the south contend with him; and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass through.
  41. He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many [countries] shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
  42. He shall stretch forth his hand also on the countries; and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
  43. But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
  44. But news out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; and he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to sweep away many.
  45. He shall plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

  7. ועמד מנצר שרשיה כנו ויבא אל־החיל ויבא במעוז מלך הצפון ועשה בהם והחזיק׃

  17. וישם פניו לבוא בתקף כל־מלכותו וישרים עמו ועשה ובת הנשים יתן־לו להשחיתה ולא תעמד ולא־לו תהיה׃
  18. פניו לאיים ולכד רבים והשבית קצין חרפתו לו בלתי חרפתו ישיב לו׃
  19. וישב פניו למעוזי ארצו ונכשל ונפל ולא ימצא׃

  25. ויער כחו ולבבו על־מלך הנגב בחיל גדול ומלך הנגב יתגרה למלחמה בחיל־גדול ועצום עד־מאד ולא יעמד כי־יחשבו עליו מחשבות׃
  26. ואכלי פת־בגו ישברוהו וחילו ישטוף ונפלו חללים רבים׃
  27. ושניהם המלכים לבבם למרע ועל־שלחן אחד כזב ידברו ולא תצלח כי־עוד קץ למועד׃
  28. וישב ארצו ברכוש גדול ולבבו על־ברית קדש ועשה ושב לארצו׃
  29. למועד ישוב ובא בנגב ולא־תהיה כראשנה וכאחרנה׃
  30. ובאו בו ציים כתים ונכאה ושב וזעם על־ברית־קודש ועשה ושב ויבן על־עזבי ברית קדש׃
  31. וזרעים ממנו יעמדו וחללו המקדש המעוז והסירו התמיד ונתנו השקוץ משוםם׃
  32. ומרשיעי ברית יחניף בחלקות ועם ידעי אלהיו יחזקו ועשו׃
  33. ומשכילי עם יבינו לרבים ונכשלו בחרב ובלהבה בשבי ובבזה ימים׃

  35. ומן־המשכילים יכשלו לצרוף בהם ולברר וללבן עד־עת קץ כי־עוד למועד׃
  36. ועשה כרצונו המלך ויתרוםם ויתגדל על־כל־אל ועל אל אלים ידבר נפלאות והצליח עד־כלה זעם כי נחרצה נעשתה׃
  37. ועל־אלהי אבתיו לא יבין ועל־חמדת נשים ועל־כל־אלוה לא יבין כי על־כל יתגדל׃
  38. ולאלה מעזים על־כנו יכבד ולאלוה אשר לא־ידעהו אבתיו יכבד בזהב ובכסף ובאבן יקרה ובחמדות׃
  39. ועשה למבצרי מעזים עם־אלוה נכר אשר ירבה כבוד והמשילם ברבים ואדמה יחלק במחיר׃
  40. ובעת קץ יתנגח עמו מלך הנגב וישתער עליו מלך הצפון ברכב ובפרשים ובאניות רבות ובא בארצות ושטף ועבר׃
  41. ובא בארץ הצבי ורבות יכשלו ואלה ימלטו מידו אדום ומואב וראשית בני עמון׃
  42. וישלח ידו בארצות וארץ מצרים לא תהיה לפליטה׃
  43. ומשל במכמני הזהב והכסף ובכל חמדות מצרים ולבים וכשים במצעדיו׃
  44. ושמעות יבהלהו ממזרח ומצפון ויצא בחמא גדלה להשמיד ולהחרים רבים׃
  45. ויטע אהלי אפדנו בין ימים להר־צבי־קדש ובא עד־קצו ואין עוזר לו׃

Daniel 11 Text (Latin)
  1. Ego autem ab anno primo Darii Medi stabam ut confortaretur et roboraretur.
  2. Et nunc veritatem annuntiabo tibi. Ecce adhuc tres reges stabunt in Perside, et quartus ditabitur opibus nimiis super omnes : et cum invaluerit divitiis suis, concitabit omnes adversum regnum Græciæ.
  3. Surget vero rex fortis, et dominabitur potestate multa, et faciet quod placuerit ei.
  4. Et cum steterit, conteretur regnum ejus, et dividetur in quatuor ventos cæli : sed non in posteros ejus, neque secundum potentiam illius, qua dominatus est : lacerabitur enim regnum ejus etiam in externos, exceptis his.
  5. Et confortabitur rex austri : et de principibus ejus prævalebit super eum, et dominabitur ditione : multa enim dominatio ejus.
  6. Et post finem annorum fœderabuntur : filiaque regis austri veniet ad regem aquilonis facere amicitiam, et non obtinebit fortitudinem brachii, nec stabit semen ejus : et tradetur ipsa, et qui adduxerunt eam adolescentes ejus, et qui confortabant eam in temporibus.
  7. Et stabit de germine radicum ejus plantatio : et veniet cum exercitu, et ingredietur provinciam regis aquilonis : et abutetur eis, et obtinebit.
  8. Insuper et deos eorum, et sculptilia, vasa quoque pretiosa argenti et auri, captiva ducet in Ægyptum : ipse prævalebit adversus regem aquilonis.
  9. Et intrabit in regnum rex austri, et revertetur ad terram suam.
  10. Filii autem ejus provocabuntur, et congregabunt multitudinem exercituum plurimorum : et veniet properans, et inundans : et revertetur, et concitabitur, et congredietur cum robore ejus.
  11. Et provocatus rex austri egredietur, et pugnabit adversus regem aquilonis, et præparabit multitudinem nimiam, et dabitur multitudo in manu ejus.
  12. Et capiet multitudinem, et exaltabitur cor ejus, et dejiciet multa millia, sed non prævalebit.
  13. Convertetur enim rex aquilonis, et præparabit multitudinem multo majorem quam prius : et in fine temporum annorumque veniet properans cum exercitu magno, et opibus nimiis.
  14. Et in temporibus illis multi consurgent adversus regem austri : filii quoque prævaricatorum populi tui extollentur ut impleant visionem, et corruent.
  15. Et venit rex aquilonis, et comportabit aggerem, et capiet urbes munitissimas : et brachia austri non sustinebunt, et consurgent electi ejus ad resistendum, et non erit fortitudo.
  16. Et faciet veniens super eum juxta placitum suum, et non erit qui stet contra faciem ejus : et stabit in terra inclyta, et consumetur in manu ejus.
  17. Et ponet faciem suam ut veniat ad tenendum universum regnum ejus, et recta faciet cum eo : et filiam feminarum dabit ei, ut evertat illud : et non stabit, nec illius erit.
  18. Et convertet faciem suam ad insulas, et capiet multas : et cessare faciet principem opprobrii sui, et opprobrium ejus convertetur in eum.
  19. Et convertet faciem suam ad imperium terræ suæ, et impinget, et corruet, et non invenietur.
  20. Et stabit in loco ejus vilissimus, et indignus decore regio : et in paucis diebus conteretur, non in furore, nec in prælio.
  21. Et stabit in loco ejus despectus, et non tribuetur ei honor regius : et veniet clam, et obtinebit regnum in fraudulentia.
  22. Et brachia pugnantis expugnabuntur a facie ejus, et conterentur : insuper et dux fœderis.
  23. Et post amicitias, cum eo faciet dolum : et ascendet, et superabit in modico populo.
  24. Et abundantes, et uberes urbes ingredietur : et faciet quæ non fecerunt patres ejus, et patres patrum ejus : rapinas, et prædam, et divitias eorum dissipabit, et contra firmissimas cogitationes inibit : et hoc usque ad tempus.
  25. Et concitabitur fortitudo ejus, et cor ejus adversum regem austri in exercitu magno : et rex austri provocabitur ad bellum multis auxiliis, et fortibus nimis : et non stabunt, quia inibunt adversus eum consilia.
  26. Et comedentes panem cum eo, conterent illum, exercitusque ejus opprimetur : et cadent interfecti plurimi.
  27. Duorum quoque regum cor erit ut malefaciant, et ad mensam unam mendacium loquentur : et non proficient, quia adhuc finis in aliud tempus.
  28. Et revertetur in terram suam cum opibus multis : et cor ejus adversum testamentum sanctum, et faciet, et revertetur in terram suam.
  29. Statuto tempore revertetur, et veniet ad austrum : et non erit priori simile novissimum.
  30. Et venient super eum trieres, et Romani : et percutietur, et revertetur, et indignabitur contra testamentum sanctuarii, et faciet : reverteturque, et cogitabit adversum eos qui dereliquerunt testamentum sanctuarii.
  31. Et brachia ex eo stabunt, et polluent sanctuarium fortitudinis, et auferent juge sacrificium : et dabunt abominationem in desolationem.
  32. Et impii in testamentum simulabunt fraudulenter : populus autem sciens Deum suum, obtinebit, et faciet.
  33. Et docti in populo docebunt plurimos : et ruent in gladio, et in flamma, et in captivitate, et in rapina dierum.
  34. Cumque corruerint, sublevabuntur auxilio parvulo : et applicabuntur eis plurimi fraudulenter.
  35. Et de eruditis ruent, ut conflentur, et eligantur, et dealbentur usque ad tempus præfinitum : quia adhuc aliud tempus erit.
  36. Et faciet juxta voluntatem suam rex, et elevabitur, et magnificabitur adversus omnem deum : et adversus Deum deorum loquetur magnifica, et dirigetur, donec compleatur iracundia : perpetrata quippe est definitio.
  37. Et Deum patrum suorum non reputabit : et erit in concupiscentiis feminarum, nec quemquam deorum curabit, quia adversum universa consurget.
  38. Deum autem Maozim in loco suo venerabitur : et deum, quem ignoraverunt patres ejus, colet auro, et argento, et lapide pretioso, rebusque pretiosis.
  39. Et faciet ut muniat Maozim cum deo alieno, quem cognovit, et multiplicabit gloriam, et dabit eis potestatem in multis, et terram dividet gratuito.
  40. Et in tempore præfinito præliabitur adversus eum rex austri, et quasi tempestas veniet contra illum rex aquilonis in curribus, et in equitibus, et in classe magna, et ingredietur terras, et conteret, et pertransiet.
  41. Et introibit in terram gloriosam, et multæ corruent : hæ autem solæ salvabuntur de manu ejus, Edom, et Moab, et principium filiorum Ammon.
  42. Et mittet manum suam in terras : et terra Ægypti non effugiet.
  43. Et dominabitur thesaurorum auri, et argenti, et in omnibus pretiosis Ægypti : per Libyam quoque, et Æthiopiam transibit.
  44. Et fama turbabit eum ab oriente et ab aquilone : et veniet in multitudine magna ut conterat et interficiat plurimos.
  45. Et figet tabernaculum suum Apadno inter maria, super montem inclytum et sanctum : et veniet usque ad summitatem ejus, et nemo auxiliabitur ei.
Daniel 11 Text (KJV)
  1. Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.
  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.
  3. And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
  4. And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds 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 great dominion.
  6. And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter 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.
  7. But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:
  8. And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north.
  9. So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.
  10. But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.
  11. And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.
  12. And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.
  13. For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.
  14. And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.
  15. So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.
  16. But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.
  17. He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.
  18. After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.
  19. Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.
  20. Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
  21. And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
  22. And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
  23. And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
  24. He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
  25. And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.
  26. Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
  27. And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
  28. Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
  29. At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
  30. For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.
  31. And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
  32. And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
  33. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
  34. Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
  35. And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
  36. And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
  37. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
  38. But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
  39. Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
  40. And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
  41. He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
  42. He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
  43. But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
  44. But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
  45. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

Commentary

Daniel 11 describes a vision of events that occurred in the second century BC about the struggle between the Seleucids (the king of the north) and the Ptolemies (the king of the south). The chapter especially focusses on the Seleuciid king Antiochus Epiphanes who desecrated the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. There is some debate about whether or not this prophecy was written by Daniel hundreds of years before the events as opposed to being written after the event (vaticinia ex eventu). Regardless it portrays God as being in control and sovereign.
