DANIEL 12 [†]“At that time shall arise  a Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And  b there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered,  c everyone whose name shall be found written in the book. 2[^]And many of those who  d sleep in  e the dust of the earth shall  e awake,  f some to everlasting life, and  f some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3[^] g And those who are wise  h shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; [1] and  i those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. 4But you, Daniel,  j shut up the words and  k seal the book, until  l the time of the end.  m Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

5[†]Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on  n this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream. 6And someone said to  o the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, [2]  p “How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?” 7And I heard  o the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream;  q he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and  r swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a  s time, times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of  t the power of  t the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished. 8I heard,  u but I did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?” 9He said,  v “Go your way, Daniel,  w for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. 10[†] x Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but  y the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand,  g but those who are wise shall understand. 11[†]And from the time that  z the regular burnt offering is taken away and  a the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days. 12[†] b Blessed is he who waits and arrives at the 1,335 days. 13 c But go your way till the end.  d And you shall rest and shall stand in your allotted place at  e the end of the days.”
