1 I, therefore, in the first year of Darius the Mede, was at my station to strengthen and embolden him;
2 and, now, the truth, I will tell thee:—Lo! there are, yet three kings, to arise—belonging to Persia, and, the fourth, will amass greater riches than they all, and, when he hath strengthened himself in his riches, the whole, will stir up, the kingdom of Greece.
3 And so a hero king, will arise,—and wield great authority, and do according to his own pleasure;
4 but, when he hath arisen, his kingdom, shall be broken in pieces, and be divided, toward the four winds of the heavens,—but not to his own posterity, nor according to his own authority which he wielded, for his kingdom, shall be uprooted, even for others besides these.
5 But a king of the south, will become strong, even from among his rulers,—and will prevail against him, and have authority, a great authority, shall his authority be.
