Daniel 11:23

World English Bible (WEB)

After the treaty made with him he will work deceitfully; for he will come up and will become strong with few people.

In context

21 “In his place a contemptible person will stand up, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom; but he will come in a time of security, and will obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

22 The overwhelming forces will be overwhelmed from before him, and will be broken. Yes, also the prince of the covenant.

23 After the treaty made with him he will work deceitfully; for he will come up and will become strong with few people.

24 In a time of security he will come even on the fattest places of the province. He will do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers. He will scatter among them prey, plunder, and wealth. Yes, he will devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time.

25 “He will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south will wage war in battle with an exceedingly great and mighty army, but he won’t stand; for they will devise plans against him.
