DAN 11:19 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

there he will meet with disaster and be overthrown (REB)

but he will be defeated (GNT)

but on the way he will be defeated (CEV)

and be no more: The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as and be no more is a figure of speech that here emphasizes that the king of the North would die. Here are some other ways to translate this:
