Daniel 11:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ “In those times many people will ·be [^Lrise up] against the king of the South. ·Some of your own people who love to fight [Wild/Violent men; ^LSons who make breaches among your people; ^CJewish men] will ·turn [^Llift themselves up] against the king of the South, ·thinking it is time for God’s promises to come true [^Lto fulfill the vision]. But they will ·fail [stumble; falter]. ¹⁵ Then the king of the North will come. He will ·build [throw up] ·ramps to the tops of the city walls [siege engines] and will capture a ·strong, walled [fortified] city. The southern ·army [forces] will not ·have the power to fight back [endure; last]; even their best soldiers will not be strong enough to ·stop the northern army [endure; last]. ¹⁶ So the ·king of the North [^Lone who invades him] will do whatever he ·wants [pleases]; no one will be able to ·stand [endure; last] against him. He will gain power and control in the beautiful land [^Cof Judah; 8:9] and ·will have the power to destroy it [^Lall of it will be in his hand/power].
