⁷ Et stabit de germine radicum ejus plantatio; et veniet cum exercitu, et ingredietur provinciam regis aquilonis; et abutetur eis, et obtinebit.

⁸ Insuper et deos eorum, et sculptilia, vasa quoque pretiosa argenti, et auri captiva ducet in Ægyptum; ipse prævalebit adversus regem aquilonis.

⁹ Et intrabit in regnum rex austri, et revertetur ad terram suam.

¹⁰ Filii autem ejus provocabuntur, et congregabunt multitudinem exercituum plurimorum; et veniet properans, et inundans; et revertetur, et concitabitur, et congredietur cum robore ejus.

¹¹ Et provocatus rex austri egredietur, et pugnabit adversus regem aquilonis, et præparabit multitudinem nimiam, et dabitur multitudo in manu ejus.

¹² Et capiet multitudinem, et exaltabitur cor ejus, et dejiciet multa millia, sed non prævalebit.
