Daniel 11:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 And in his place shall stand up a [a]vile person, to whom they shall not give the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22 And the [b]arms shall be overthrown with a flood before him, and shall be broken: and also the prince of the [c]covenant.
23 And after [d]the league made with him, he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and overcome with a [e]small people.
