And behold, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and thus they said to it, ‘Arise, devour much meat!’

For the king of the North will again raise a greater multitude than the former, and after an interval of some years he will press on with a great army and much equipment.

Then he will return to his land with much plunder; but his heart will be set against the holy covenant, and he will take action and then return to his own land.
