Daniel 11:38-40
New English Translation

38 What he will honor is a god of fortresses—a god his fathers did not acknowledge he will honor with gold, silver, valuable stones, and treasured commodities. 39 He will attack[a] mighty fortresses, aided by[b] a foreign deity. To those who recognize him he will grant considerable honor. He will place them in authority over many people, and he will parcel out land for a price.[c]

40 “At the time of the end the king of the south will attack[d] him. Then the king of the north will storm against him[e] with chariots, horsemen, and a large armada of ships.[f] He[g] will invade lands, passing through them like an overflowing river.[h]
