17He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions; and he shall perform them: and he shall give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her; but she shall not stand, neither be for him.
18After this shall he turn his face to the isles, and shall take many: but a prince shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yes, moreover, he shall cause his reproach to turn on him.
19Then he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land; but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.
20Then shall stand up in his place one who shall cause a tax collector to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory; but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
21In his place shall stand up a contemptible person, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22The overwhelming forces shall be overwhelmed from before him, and shall be broken; yes, also the prince of the covenant.
23After the league made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall come up, and shall become strong, with a small people.
