Daniel 12

1 "At that time shall Michael arise, the great prince who watches over the children of your people. And there shall be a time of distress unparalleled since the beginning of the nation until that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be found written in the book.

But at that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people: and a time shall come such as never was from the time that nations began even until that time. And at that time shall thy people be saved, every one that shall be found written in the book.

2 Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

And many of those that sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake: some unto life everlasting, and others unto reproach, to see it always.

3 And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.

But they that are learned shall shine as the brightness of the firmament: and they that instruct many to justice, as stars for all eternity.

4 But you, Daniel, close up these words, and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall roam here and there, and knowledge shall increase."

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time appointed: many shall pass over, and knowledge shall be manifold.

5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and look, two others stood, one on this bank of the river, and one on the other bank of the river.

And I Daniel looked, and behold as it were two others stood: one on this side upon the bank of the river, and another on that side, on the other bank of the river.

6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "How long shall it be till these wonders take place?"

And I said to the man that was clothed In linen, that stood upon the waters of the river: How long shall 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 shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

And I heard the man that was clothed in linen, that stood upon the waters of the river: when he had lifted up his right hand, and his left hand to heaven, and had sworn, by him that liveth for ever, that it should be unto a time, and times, and half a time. And when the scattering of the band of the holy people shall be accomplished, all these things shall be finished.

8 And I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?"

And I heard, and understood not. And I said: O my lord, what shall be after these things?

9 And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.

And he said: Go, Daniel, because the words are shut up, and sealed until the appointed time.

10 Many shall be purified, cleansed and refined; but the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand.

Many shall be chosen, and made white, and shall be tried as fire: and the wicked shall deal wickedly, and none of the wicked shall understand, but the learned shall understand.

11 From the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred ninety days.

And from the time when the continual sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination unto desolation shall be set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred ninety days,

12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.

Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh unto a thousand three hundred thirty-five days.

13 But go your way until the end. For you shall rest, and shall rise to receive your reward at the end of the days.

But go thou thy ways until the time appointed: and thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot unto the end of the days.
