12
1 “At
that time Michael
will stand up,
the great prince
who stands for
the children of
your people; and
there will be
a time of
trouble, such as
never was since
there was a
nation even to
that same time.
At that time
your people will
be delivered,
everyone who is
found written in
the book.
2 Many
of those who sleep
in the dust
of the earth
will awake, some
to everlasting
life, and some
to shame and
everlasting contempt.
3 Those who
are wise will
shine as the
brightness of the
expanse. Those who turn
many to
righteousness will
shine as the
stars forever and
ever.
4 But
you, Daniel, shut
up the words
and seal the
book, even to
the time of
the end. Many
will run back and
forth, and
knowledge will be
increased.”
5 Then
I, Daniel, looked,
and behold,
two others stood,
one on the
river bank on
this side, and
the other on
the river bank
on that side.
6 One said to
the man clothed
in linen, who was
above the waters
of the river, “How
long will it
be to the
end of these
wonders?”
7 I
heard the man
clothed in linen,
who was above
the waters of
the river, when
he held up
his right hand
and his left
hand to heaven,
and swore by
him who lives
forever that it
will be for
a time, times,
and a half;
and when they
have finished breaking
in pieces the
power of the
holy people, all
these things will
be finished.
8 I
heard, but I didn’t
understand. Then I
said, “My lord,
what will be
the outcome of
these things?”
9 He
said, “Go your
way, Daniel; for
the words are
shut up and
sealed until the
time of the
end.
10 Many
will purify themselves,
and make themselves
white, and be
refined, but the
wicked will do
wickedly; and none
of the wicked
will understand,
but those who
are wise will
understand.
11 “From
the time that
the continual
burnt offering is
taken away and
the abomination
that makes
desolate set up,
there will be
one thousand two
hundred ninety
days.
12 Blessed is
he who waits, and
comes to the
one thousand three
hundred thirty-five
days.
13 “But
go your way
until the end;
for you will
rest, and will
stand in
your inheritance at
the end of
the days.”
