Daniel 11:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 [a]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 [b]wrath, nor in battle.
21 And in his place shall stand up a [c]vile person, to whom they shall not give the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22 And the [d]arms shall be overthrown with a flood before him, and shall be broken: and also the prince of the [e]covenant.
