11:27 These two kings, their minds 1 filled with evil intentions, will trade 2 lies with one another at the same table. But it will not succeed, for there is still an end at the appointed time.
11:28 Then the king of the north 3 will return to his own land with much property. His mind will be set against the holy covenant. He will take action, and then return to his own land.
11:29 At an appointed time he will again invade the south, but this latter visit will not turn out the way the former one did.
