28. Then he shall return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits and return to his own land.
29. At the time appointed he shall turn toward the south, but the latter coming shall not be as the former.
30. For the ships of Chittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved and return and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return and have an understanding with those that have forsaken the holy covenant.
31. And arms shall be placed on his behalf, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that makes desolate.
32. And with flatteries he shall cause to sin those that violate the covenant, but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
33. And the wise among the people shall give wisdom to many, yet they shall fall by the sword, and by fire, by captivity, and by spoil, for some days.
34. And in their fall, they shall be helped with a little help, but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
35. And some of the wise shall fall to be purged and cleaned and made white, even to the time of the end because even for this there is time appointed.
