And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall wage war in battle with an extremely large and powerful army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise plans against him. Yes, those who eat of his royal food shall seek to destroy him, and his army shall be swept away; and many shall fall slain. read more. As for both these kings, their minds shall be fixed on evil, and they shall speak lies at the table; but it shall not succeed; for still the end shall be at the appointed time. Then shall he return into his land with great property; and his mind shall be against the holy covenant. And he shall take action, and then return to his own land. At the appointed time he shall return, and come into the south; but this time the outcome shall not be as it was before. For ships from Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be intimidated, and shall turn back, and be enraged against the holy covenant, and shall take action. He shall turn back, and show regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.
