Daniel 11:29-31
1599 Geneva Bible
29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the South: but the last shall not be as the first.
30 For the ships [a]of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be sorry and return and fret against the holy covenant: so shall he do, he shall even return [b]and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.
31 And arms [c]shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the Sanctuary [d]of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall set up the abominable desolation.
