Daniel 11:30-32

International Standard Version

³⁰ because ships will come against him from the Mediterranean islands.^[a] Disheartened, he’ll return, incited to vehemence against the holy covenant, and he’ll take action. As he returns, he’ll show deference to those who abandon the holy covenant. ³¹ Armed forces will arise from his midst, and they’ll desecrate the fortified Sanctuary, abolish the daily sacrifice, and establish the destructive desecration. ³² Through flattery he’ll corrupt those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but people who know their God will be strong and take action.
