Daniel 11:31

²⁹ At the appointed time he will invade the South again, but this time will not be like the first.

³⁰ Ships of Kittim will come against him, and he will lose heart. Then he will turn back and rage against the holy covenant and do damage. So he will return and show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant.

His forces will rise up and desecrate the temple fortress. They will abolish the daily sacrifice and set up the abomination of desolation.

³² With flattery he will corrupt those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him.

³³ Those with insight will instruct many, though for a time they will fall by sword or flame, or be captured or plundered.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
