King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Also I[H589] in the first[H259] year[H8141] of Darius[H1867] the Mede,[H4075] even I, stood[H5975] to confirm[H2388] and to strengthen[H4581] him.

2. And now[H6258] will I show[H5046] thee the truth.[H571] Behold,[H2009] there shall stand up[H5975] yet[H5750] three[H7969] kings[H4428] in Persia;[H6539] and the fourth[H7243] shall be far richer[H6238] [H1419] [H6239] than they all:[H4480] [H3605] and by his strength[H2393] through his riches[H6239] he shall stir up[H5782] all[H3605] against[H854] the realm[H4438] of Greece.[H3120]

3. And a mighty[H1368] king[H4428] shall stand up,[H5975] that shall rule[H4910] with great[H7227] dominion,[H4474] and do[H6213] according to his will.[H7522]

4. And when he shall stand up,[H5975] his kingdom[H4438] shall be broken,[H7665] and shall be divided[H2673] toward the four[H702] winds[H7307] of heaven;[H8064] and not[H3808] to his posterity,[H319] nor[H3808] according to his dominion[H4915] which[H834] he ruled:[H4910] for[H3588] his kingdom[H4438] shall be plucked up,[H5428] even for others[H312] beside[H4480] [H905] those.[H428]

5. And the king[H4428] of the south[H5045] shall be strong,[H2388] and one of[H4480] his princes;[H8269] and he shall be strong[H2388] above[H5921] him, and have dominion;[H4910] his dominion[H4474] shall be a great[H7227] dominion.[H4474]

6. And in the end[H7093] of years[H8141] they shall join themselves together;[H2266] for the king's[H4428] daughter[H1323] of the south[H5045] shall come[H935] to[H413] the king[H4428] of the north[H6828] to make[H6213] an agreement:[H4339] but she shall not[H3808] retain[H6113] the power[H3581] of the arm;[H2220] neither[H3808] shall he stand,[H5975] nor his arm:[H2220] but she[H1931] shall be given up,[H5414] and they that brought[H935] her, and he that begot[H3205] her, and he that strengthened[H2388] her in these times.[H6256]

7. But out of a branch[H4480] [H5342] of her roots[H8328] shall one stand up[H5975] in his estate,[H3653] which shall come[H935] with[H413] an army,[H2428] and shall enter[H935] into the fortress[H4581] of the king[H4428] of the north,[H6828] and shall deal[H6213] against them, and shall prevail: [H2388]

8. And shall also[H1571] carry[H935] captives[H7628] into Egypt[H4714] their gods,[H430] with[H5973] their princes,[H5257] and with[H5973] their precious[H2532] vessels[H3627] of silver[H3701] and of gold;[H2091] and he[H1931] shall continue[H5975] more years[H8141] than the king[H4480] [H4428] of the north.[H6828]

9. So the king[H4428] of the south[H5045] shall come[H935] into his kingdom,[H4438] and shall return[H7725] into[H413] his own land.[H127]

10. But his sons[H1121] shall be stirred up,[H1624] and shall assemble[H622] a multitude[H1995] of great[H7227] forces:[H2428] and one shall certainly come,[H935] [H935] and overflow,[H7857] and pass through:[H5674] then shall he return,[H7725] and be stirred up,[H1624] even to[H5704] his fortress.[H4581]

11. And the king[H4428] of the south[H5045] shall be moved with anger,[H4843] and shall come forth[H3318] and fight[H3898] with[H5973] him, even with[H5973] the king[H4428] of the north:[H6828] and he shall set forth[H5975] a great[H7227] multitude;[H1995] but the multitude[H1995] shall be given[H5414] into his hand.[H3027]

12. And when he hath taken away[H5375] the multitude,[H1995] his heart[H3824] shall be lifted up;[H7311] and he shall cast down[H5307] many ten thousands:[H7239] but he shall not[H3808] be strengthened[H5810] by it.

13. For the king[H4428] of the north[H6828] shall return,[H7725] and shall set forth[H5975] a multitude[H1995] greater[H7227] than[H4480] the former,[H7223] and shall certainly come[H935] [H935] after[H7093] certain[H6256] years[H8141] with a great[H1419] army[H2428] and with much[H7227] riches.[H7399]

14. And in those[H1992] times[H6256] there shall many[H7227] stand up[H5975] against[H5921] the king[H4428] of the south:[H5045] also the robbers[H1121] [H6530] of thy people[H5971] shall exalt themselves[H5375] to establish[H5975] the vision;[H2377] but they shall fall.[H3782]

15. So the king[H4428] of the north[H6828] shall come,[H935] and cast up[H8210] a mount,[H5550] and take[H3920] the most fenced[H4013] cities:[H5892] and the arms[H2220] of the south[H5045] shall not[H3808] withstand,[H5975] neither his chosen[H4005] people,[H5971] neither[H369] shall there be any strength[H3581] to withstand.[H5975]

16. But he that cometh[H935] against[H413] him shall do[H6213] according to his own will,[H7522] and none[H369] shall stand[H5975] before[H6440] him: and he shall stand[H5975] in the glorious[H6643] land,[H776] which by his hand[H3027] shall be consumed.[H3615]

17. He shall also set[H7760] his face[H6440] to enter[H935] with the strength[H8633] of his whole[H3605] kingdom,[H4438] and upright ones[H3477] with[H5973] him; thus shall he do:[H6213] and he shall give[H5414] him the daughter[H1323] of women,[H802] corrupting[H7843] her: but she shall not[H3808] stand[H5975] on his side, neither[H3808] be[H1961] for him.

18. After this shall he turn[H7725] his face[H6440] unto the isles,[H339] and shall take[H3920] many:[H7227] but a prince[H7101] for his own behalf shall cause the reproach[H2781] offered by him to cease;[H7673] without[H1115] his own reproach[H2781] he shall cause it to turn[H7725] upon him.

19. Then he shall turn[H7725] his face[H6440] toward the fort[H4581] of his own land:[H776] but he shall stumble[H3782] and fall,[H5307] and not[H3808] be found.[H4672]

20. Then shall stand up[H5975] in[H5921] his estate[H3653] a raiser[H5674] of taxes[H5065] in the glory[H1925] of the kingdom:[H4438] but within few[H259] days[H3117] he shall be destroyed,[H7665] neither[H3808] in anger,[H639] nor[H3808] in battle.[H4421]

21. And in[H5921] his estate[H3653] shall stand up[H5975] a vile person,[H959] to[H5921] whom they shall not[H3808] give[H5414] the honor[H1935] of the kingdom:[H4438] but he shall come in[H935] peaceably,[H7962] and obtain[H2388] the kingdom[H4438] by flatteries.[H2519]

22. And with the arms[H2220] of a flood[H7858] shall they be overflown[H7857] from before[H4480] [H6440] him, and shall be broken;[H7665] yea, also[H1571] the prince[H5057] of the covenant.[H1285]

23. And after[H4480] the league[H2266] made with[H413] him he shall work[H6213] deceitfully:[H4820] for he shall come up,[H5927] and shall become strong[H6105] with a small[H4592] people.[H1471]

24. He shall enter[H935] peaceably[H7962] even upon the fattest places[H4924] of the province;[H4082] and he shall do[H6213] that which[H834] his fathers[H1] have not[H3808] done,[H6213] nor his fathers'[H1] fathers;[H1] he shall scatter[H967] among them the prey,[H961] and spoil,[H7998] and riches:[H7399] yea, and he shall forecast[H2803] his devices[H4284] against[H5921] the strongholds,[H4013] even for[H5704] a time.[H6256]

25. And he shall stir up[H5782] his power[H3581] and his courage[H3824] against[H5921] the king[H4428] of the south[H5045] with a great[H1419] army;[H2428] and the king[H4428] of the south[H5045] shall be stirred up[H1624] to battle[H4421] with a very[H5704] [H3966] great[H1419] and mighty[H6099] army;[H2428] but he shall not[H3808] stand:[H5975] for[H3588] they shall forecast[H2803] devices[H4284] against[H5921] him.

26. Yea, they that feed[H398] of the portion of his meat[H6598] shall destroy[H7665] him, and his army[H2428] shall overflow:[H7857] and many[H7227] shall fall down[H5307] slain.[H2491]

27. And both[H8147] these kings'[H4428] hearts[H3824] shall be to do mischief,[H4827] and they shall speak[H1696] lies[H3577] at[H5921] one[H259] table;[H7979] but it shall not[H3808] prosper:[H6743] for[H3588] yet[H5750] the end[H7093] shall be at the time appointed.[H4150]

28. Then shall he return[H7725] into his land[H776] with great[H1419] riches;[H7399] and his heart[H3824] shall be against[H5921] the holy[H6944] covenant;[H1285] and he shall do[H6213] exploits, and return[H7725] to his own land.[H776]

29. At the time appointed[H4150] he shall return,[H7725] and come[H935] toward the south;[H5045] but it shall not[H3808] be[H1961] as the former,[H7223] or as the latter.[H314]

30. For the ships[H6716] of Chittim[H3794] shall come[H935] against him: therefore he shall be grieved,[H3512] and return,[H7725] and have indignation[H2194] against[H5921] the holy[H6944] covenant:[H1285] so shall he do;[H6213] he shall even return,[H7725] and have intelligence[H995] with[H5921] them that forsake[H5800] the holy[H6944] covenant.[H1285]

31. And arms[H2220] shall stand[H5975] on his part,[H4480] and they shall pollute[H2490] the sanctuary[H4720] of strength,[H4581] and shall take away[H5493] the daily[H8548] sacrifice, and they shall place[H5414] the abomination[H8251] that maketh desolate.[H8074]

32. And such as do wickedly against[H7561] the covenant[H1285] shall he corrupt[H2610] by flatteries:[H2514] but the people[H5971] that do know[H3045] their God[H430] shall be strong,[H2388] and do[H6213] exploits.

33. And they that understand[H7919] among the people[H5971] shall instruct[H995] many:[H7227] yet they shall fall[H3782] by the sword,[H2719] and by flame,[H3852] by captivity,[H7628] and by spoil,[H961] many days.[H3117]

34. Now when they shall fall,[H3782] they shall be helped[H5826] with a little[H4592] help:[H5828] but many[H7227] shall cleave[H3867] to[H5921] them with flatteries.[H2519]

35. And some of[H4480] them of understanding[H7919] shall fall,[H3782] to try[H6884] them, and to purge,[H1305] and to make them white,[H3835] even to[H5704] the time[H6256] of the end:[H7093] because[H3588] it is yet[H5750] for a time appointed.[H4150]

36. And the king[H4428] shall do[H6213] according to his will;[H7522] and he shall exalt himself,[H7311] and magnify himself[H1431] above[H5921] every[H3605] god,[H410] and shall speak[H1696] marvelous things[H6381] against[H5921] the God[H410] of gods,[H410] and shall prosper[H6743] till[H5704] the indignation[H2195] be accomplished:[H3615] for[H3588] that that is determined[H2782] shall be done.[H6213]

37. Neither shall he regard[H5921] [H3808] [H995] the God[H430] of his fathers,[H1] nor the desire[H2532] of women,[H802] nor regard any[H3605] [H3808] [H995] god:[H433] for[H3588] he shall magnify himself[H1431] above[H5921] all.[H3605]

38. But in[H5921] his estate[H3653] shall he honor[H3513] the God[H433] of forces:[H4581] and a god[H433] whom[H834] his fathers[H1] knew[H3045] not[H3808] shall he honor[H3513] with gold,[H2091] and silver,[H3701] and with precious[H3368] stones,[H68] and pleasant things.[H2530]

39. Thus shall he do[H6213] in the most strong holds[H4013] [H4581] with[H5973] a strange[H5236] god,[H433] whom[H834] he shall acknowledge[H5234] and increase[H7235] with glory:[H3519] and he shall cause them to rule[H4910] over many,[H7227] and shall divide[H2505] the land[H127] for gain.[H4242]

40. And at the time[H6256] of the end[H7093] shall the king[H4428] of the south[H5045] push[H5055] at[H5973] him: and the king[H4428] of the north[H6828] shall come against him like a whirlwind,[H8175] [H5921] with chariots,[H7393] and with horsemen,[H6571] and with many[H7227] ships;[H591] and he shall enter[H935] into the countries,[H776] and shall overflow[H7857] and pass over.[H5674]

41. He shall enter[H935] also into the glorious[H6643] land,[H776] and many[H7227] countries shall be overthrown:[H3782] but these[H428] shall escape[H4422] out of his hand,[H4480] [H3027] even Edom,[H123] and Moab,[H4124] and the chief[H7225] of the children[H1121] of Ammon.[H5983]

42. He shall stretch forth[H7971] his hand[H3027] also upon the countries:[H776] and the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714] shall not[H3808] escape.[H1961] [H6413]

43. But he shall have power[H4910] over the treasures[H4362] of gold[H2091] and of silver,[H3701] and over all[H3605] the precious things[H2530] of Egypt:[H4714] and the Libyans[H3864] and the Ethiopians[H3569] shall be at his steps.[H4703]

44. But tidings[H8052] out of the east[H4480] [H4217] and out of the north[H4480] [H6828] shall trouble[H926] him: therefore he shall go forth[H3318] with great[H1419] fury[H2534] to destroy,[H8045] and utterly to make away[H2763] many.[H7227]

45. And he shall plant[H5193] the tabernacles[H168] of his palace[H643] between[H996] the seas[H3220] in the glorious[H6643] holy[H6944] mountain;[H2022] yet he shall come[H935] to[H5704] his end,[H7093] and none[H369] shall help[H5826] him.
