Daniel 11:32-45

32He shall seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action. 33 aAnd the wise among the people shall make many understand, though for some days they shall stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder. 34When they stumble, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join themselves to them with flattery, 35and some of the wise shall stumble, so that they may be refined, bpurified, and cmade white, until dthe time of the end, efor it still awaits the appointed time.

36“And the king shall fdo as he wills. gHe shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, hand shall speak astonishing things against ithe God of gods. jHe shall prosper ktill the indignation is accomplished; for what is decreed shall be done. 37He shall pay no attention to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women. He shall not pay attention to any other god, for lhe shall magnify himself above all. 38He shall honor the god of fortresses instead of these. A god whom his fathers did not know he shall honor mwith gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. 39He shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Those who acknowledge him he shall load with honor. He shall make them rulers over many and nshall divide the land for a price.
Or  land as payment


40 p“At the time of the end, the king of the south shall attack
Hebrew thrust at
him, but the king of the north shall rush upon him rlike a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, and with many ships. And he shall come into countries and sshall overflow and pass through.
41He shall come into tthe glorious land. And tens of thousands shall fall, but these shall be delivered out of his hand: uEdom and vMoab and the main part of the wAmmonites. 42He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43He shall become ruler of the treasures of gold and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt, and the xLibyans and the yCushites shall follow in his train. 44But news from the east and the north shall alarm him, and he shall go out with great fury to destroy and devote many to destruction. 45And he shall pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with none to help him.

Luke 18:7-8

7And zwill not God give justice to aahis elect, abwho cry to him day and night? ac, adWill he delay long over them? 8I tell you, he will give justice to them aespeedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, afwill he find faith on earth?”
