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.
21`And stood up on his station hath a despicable one, and they have not given unto him the honour of the kingdom, and he hath come in quietly, and hath strengthened the kingdom by flatteries.
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.
24Peaceably even into the fertile places of the province He cometh, and he hath done that which his fathers did not, nor his fathers` fathers; prey, and spoil, and substance, to them he scattereth, and against fenced places he deviseth his devices, even for a time.
25`And he stirreth up his power and his heart against the king of the south with a great force, and the king of the south stirreth himself up to battle with a very great and mighty force, and standeth not, for they devise devices against him,
26and those eating his portion of food destroy him, and his force overfloweth, and fallen have many wounded.
