19 For he shall turn his face toward the forts of [d]his own land: but he shall be overthrown and fall, and be no more [e]found.

20 [f]Then shall stand up in his place in the glory of the kingdom, one that shall raise taxes: but after few days he shall be destroyed, neither in [g]wrath, nor in battle.
