- et roborabitur fortitudo ejus, sed non in viribus suis : et supra quam credi potest, universa vastabit, et prosperabitur, et faciet. Et interficiet robustos, et populum sanctorum
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ κραταιὰ ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ θαυμαστὰ διαφθερεῖ, καὶ κατευθυνεῖ καὶ ποιήσει, καὶ διαφθερεῖ ἰσχυροὺς καὶ λαὸν ἅγιον.

Haydock's commentary
By. Hebrew: "not to his (Alexander's) strength," ver. 22. Epiphanes conquered Egypt and the Jews: but the former had an infant king, and the latter were unprovided. He shewed more cunning than prowess.
