PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

Ezekiel 39:17

וְאַתָּה בֶן-אָדָם כֹּֽה-אָמַר׀ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִֹה אֱמֹר לְצִפּוֹר כָּל-כָּנָף וּלְכֹל׀ חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה הִקָּבְצוּ וָבֹאוּ הֵאָסְפוּ מִסָּבִיב עַל-זִבְחִי אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי זֹבֵחַ לָכֶם זֶבַח גָּדוֹל עַל הָרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַאֲכַלְתֶּם בָּשָׂר וּשְׁתִיתֶם דָּֽם׃
17
And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.

Daniel 11:2

וְעַתָּה אֱמֶת אַגִּיד לָךְ הִנֵּה-עוֹד שְׁלֹשָׁה מְלָכִים עֹמְדִים לְפָרַס וְהָֽרְבִיעִי יַעֲשִׁיר עֹֽשֶׁר-גָּדוֹל מִכֹּל וּכְחֶזְקָתוֹ בְעָשְׁרוֹ יָעִיר הַכֹּל אֵת מַלְכוּת יָוָֽן׃

And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
