1. And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood to confirm and to strengthen him.
2. And now will I declare unto thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall enrich himself with great riches more than all; and when he hath become strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.
3. And a mighty king shall stand up that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
