Daniel 12
- 1And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which stands for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
- 2And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
- 3And those who be wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse. And those who turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
- 4But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run back and forth, and knowledge shall be increased.
- 5Then I Daniel looked, and there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
- 6And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was on the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
- 7And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was on the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half. And when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
- 8And I heard, but I did not understand: then I said, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
- 9And he said, Go your way, Daniel. For the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
- 10Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried. But the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand. But the wise shall understand.
- 11And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the disgusting thing that brings destruction set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
- 12Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
- 13But go you your way till the end is. For you shall rest, and stand in your lot at the end of the days.
