Daniel 11:18

Then will he turn his face to the Coastlands, and will capture many,—but a commander, will bring to an end, his reproach against himself, that, his reproach, return not unto him.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.

In Context

17Then will he set his face to enter, with the might of all his kingdom, and, equitable terms with him, will make,—and, a daughter of women, will he give him to corrupt her, but she will not remain, nor, his, shall she become.

19Therefore will he turn his face towards the fortresses of his land,—but he shall stagger and fall, and shall not be found.
