40 ^t“At the time of the end, the king of the south shall attack¹ him, but the king of the north shall rush upon him ^ulike a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, and with many ships. And he shall come into countries and ^vshall overflow and pass through. 41 He shall come into ^wthe glorious land. And tens of thousands shall fall, but these shall be delivered out of his hand: ^xEdom and ^xMoab and the main part of the ^xAmmonites. 42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 He shall become ruler of the treasures of gold and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt, and the ^yLibyans and the ^zCushites shall follow in his train. 44 But news from the east and the north shall alarm him, and he shall go out with great fury to destroy and devote many to destruction. 45 And he shall pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with none to help him.

1 “At that time shall arise ^aMichael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And ^bthere shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, ^ceveryone whose name shall be found written in the book.
