Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 11 of Daniel. After his campaigns, the ruler turns back toward his own land and disappears from the scene, while another king establishes economic measures that lead to a violent outcome. The text highlights the fragility of political structures: a period of expansion can quickly end through intrigue, taxation, internal conflict, or death. Imperial power is presented as temporary and vulnerable.

Und an seiner Statt wird einer aufkommen, der wird einen Schergen sein herrliches Reich durchziehen lassen; aber nach wenigen Tagen wird er zerbrochen werden, doch weder durch Zorn noch durch Streit.
Entonces sucederá en su silla uno que hará pasar exactor por la gloria del reino; mas en pocos días será quebrantado, no en enojo, ni en batalla.
Celui qui le remplacera fera venir un exacteur dans la plus belle partie du royaume, mais en quelques jours il sera brisé, et ce ne sera ni par la colère ni par la guerre.
Poi sorgerà nello stato di esso, con maestà reale, uno che manderà attorno esattori: ma fra alquanti dì sarà rotto, non in ira, nè in guerra
E em seu lugar se levantará quem fará passar um arrecadador pela glória do reino; mas em poucos dias será quebrantado, e isto sem ira e sem batalha.
「那時,有一人興起接續他的王位,他為了王國的榮華,差官員橫征暴斂。這王過不多時就死了,不是因怒氣 ,也不是因戰役。」
