Daniel 11:34-36
1599 Geneva Bible
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a [a]little help: but many shall cleave unto them [b]feignedly.
35 And some of them [c]of understanding shall fall to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, till the time be out: for there is a time appointed.
36 And the [d]king shall do what him list: he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself against all, that is God, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper, till the wrath [e]be accomplished: for the determination is made.
