Daniel 11:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 But he that shall come, shall do unto him as he list, and none shall stand against him: and he shall stand in the [a]pleasant land, which by his hand shall be consumed.
17 Again he shall [b]set his face to enter with the power of his whole kingdom, and his confederates with him: thus shall he do, and he shall give him the [c]daughter of women to destroy [d]her: but [e]she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.
18 After this shall he turn his face unto the [f]isles, and shall take many, but a prince [g]shall cause his shame to light upon him, besides that he shall cause his own shame to turn upon [h]himself.
