Daniel 11:25-27

Context
11:25 He will rouse his strength and enthusiasm¹ against the king of the south² with a large army. The king of the south will wage war with a large and very powerful army, but he will not be able to prevail because of the plans devised against him. 11:26 Those who share the king’s fine food will attempt to destroy him, and his army will be swept away;³ many will be killed in battle. 11:27 These two kings, their minds⁴ filled with evil intentions, will trade⁵ lies with one another at the same table. But it will not succeed, for there is still an end at the appointed time.
