⁷ “And from a branch from her roots one shall arise in his place. He shall come against the army and enter the ^(A)fortress of the king of the north, and he shall deal with them and shall prevail.

¹⁰ “His sons shall wage war and assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall keep coming ^(A)and overflow and pass through, and again shall carry the war as far as his ^(B)fortress.

³⁸ He shall honour the god of fortresses instead of these. A god whom his fathers did not know he shall honour ^(A)with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. ³⁹ He shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Those who acknowledge him he shall load with honour. He shall make them rulers over many and ^(B)shall divide the land for a price.^[a]
