25And he will stir up his power and his heart against the king of the South with a great army, and the king of the South will engage in battle with a very great and mighty army, but he will not stand, for they will devise schemes against him.

27As for both of them, the kings—their hearts are set on evil, and at one table they will speak lies, but it will not succeed, for the end is still for the appointed time.

28Then he will return to his land with great wealth, but his heart will be against the holy covenant; and he will act and return to his land.
