Daniel 12

1 And at that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands for the sons of thy 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 thy people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be found written in the book.

And at that time Michael the great prince shall stand up, that stands over the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of tribulation, such tribulation as has not been from the time that there was a nation on the earth until that time: at that time thy people shall be delivered, [even] every one that is written in the book.

2 And 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 them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproach and everlasting shame.

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

And the wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and [some] of the many righteous as the stars for ever and ever.

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

And thou, Daniel, close the words, and seal the book to the time of the end; until many are taught, and knowledge is increased.

5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and, behold, another two stood, the one on the brink of the river on this side, and the other on the brink of the river on that side.

And I Daniel saw, and, behold, two others stood, one on one side of the bank of the river, and the other on the other side of the 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 to the end of these wonders?

And [one] said to the man clothed in linen, who was over the water of the river, When [will be] the end of the wonders which thou hast mentioned?

7 And 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 clothed in linen, who was over the water of the river, and he lifted up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and sware by him that lives for ever, that [it should be] for a time of times and half a time: when the dispersion is ended they shall know all these things.

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

And I heard, but I understood not: and I said, O Lord, what [will be] the end of these things?

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

And he said, Go, Daniel: for the words are closed and sealed up to the time of the end.

10 Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand.

Many must be tested, and thoroughly whitened, and tried with fire, and sanctified; but the transgressors shall transgress: and none of the transgressors shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

11 And from the time that the continual burnt offering shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be a thousand and two hundred and ninety days.

And from the time of the removal of the perpetual sacrifice, when the abomination of desolation shall be set up, [there shall be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

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

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

13 But go thou thy way till the end is. For thou shall rest, and shall stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

But go thou, and rest; for [there are] yet days and seasons to the fulfilment of the end; and thou shalt stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
