Then he said, "Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go forth, behold, the prince of Greece shall come.

And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.

And his sons shall wage war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall advance and overflow and pass through, and they shall return and wage war, as far as his fortress.

The king of the north shall return, and shall raise a multitude greater than the former; and he shall advance after some years with a great army and with abundant supplies.

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.
