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.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 11 of Daniel. The king of the North attempts to consolidate his position through political strategies and alliances, but his plans encounter unexpected limits. The intervention of a figure described as a commander ends his advance. The passage again shows that even rulers who appear to control diplomacy and warfare cannot guarantee the final outcome of their projects.

Darnach wird er sich kehren wider die Inseln und deren viele gewinnen. Aber ein Fürst wird ihn lehren aufhören mit Schmähen, daß er nicht mehr schmähe.
Volverá después su rostro a las islas, y tomará muchas; mas un príncipe le hará parar su afrenta, y aun tornará sobre él su oprobio.
Volverá su rostro hacia las costas y conquistará muchas. Pero un comandante pondrá fin a su afrenta; más aún, hará recaer sobre él su propia afrenta.
Il tournera ses vues du côté des îles, et il en prendra plusieurs; mais un chef mettra fin à l'opprobre qu'il voulait lui attirer, et le fera retomber sur lui.
Poi egli volgerà la faccia alle isole, e ne prenderà molte; ma un capitano farà cessare il vituperio fattogli da colui; e, oltre a ciò, renderà a lui stesso il suo vituperio.
Depois virará o seu rosto para as ilhas, e tomará muitas; mas um príncipe fará cessar o seu opróbrio contra ele, e ainda fará recair sobre ele o seu opróbrio.
其後北方王必轉頭,奪取許多海島。但有一將帥除掉北方王對人的羞辱,並且使羞辱歸到他自己身上。
