KJV ORIGINAL
And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
But once he rises to power, his kingdom won't last. It's going to get completely shattered and scattered in every direction. None of his kids will inherit it, and it won't stay as strong as when he was running things. His whole empire will get ripped away and handed over to totally different people.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Even the most powerful kingdoms don't last forever — they crumble and get passed on to unexpected hands.
