20`And stood up on his station hath [one] causing an exactor to pass over the honour of the kingdom, and in a few days he is destroyed, and not in anger, nor in battle.

22And the arms of the flood are overflowed from before him, and are broken; and also the leader of the covenant.
23And after they join themselves unto him, he worketh deceit, and hath increased, and hath been strong by a few of the nation.
