Daniel 11:24

and he shall enter into great and rich cities, and he shall do things which his fathers, and the fathers of his fathers, did not. He shall destroy the ravens, and prey, and riches of them, and against most steadfast thoughts he shall take counsel, and this till to a time, (or He shall divide the spoils, and the prey, and their riches, and he shall make plans against strongholds, but only for a time).
