< Daniel 12 >
1 And at that time Michael the great prince shall stand up, that stands over the children of your 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 your people shall be delivered, [even] every one that is written in the book.
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of distress, such as never was since there was a nation until that time. And at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that is found written in the book.
2 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.
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame, to everlasting contempt.
3 And the wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and [some] of the many righteous as the stars for ever and ever.
And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and they that turn the many to righteousness as the stars, for ever and ever.
4 And you, Daniel, close the words, and seal the book to the time of the end; until many are taught, and knowledge is increased.
And thou, Daniel, close the words, and seal the book, till the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
5 And I Daniel saw, and, behold, two others stood, on one side of the bank of the river, and the other on the other side of the bank of the river.
And I Daniel looked, and behold, there stood other two, the one on this side, on the bank of the river, and the other on that side, on the bank of the river.
6 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 you has mentioned?
And he said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long [is it to] the end of these wonders?
7 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.
And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river; and he held up his right hand and his left hand unto the heavens, and swore by him that liveth for ever that it is for a time, times, and a half; and when the scattering of the power of the holy people shall be accomplished, all these things shall be finished.
8 And I heard, but I understood not: and I said, O Lord, what [will be] the end of these things?
And I heard, but I understood not. And I said, My lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 And he said, Go, Daniel: for the words are closed and sealed up to the time of the end.
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel; for these words are closed and sealed till the time of the end.
10 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.
Many shall be purified, and be made white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 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 and two hundred and ninety days.
And from the time that the continual [sacrifice] is taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, [there shall be] a thousand, two hundred, and ninety days.
12 Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand and three hundred and thirty-five days.
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days!
13 But go you, and rest; for [there are] yet days and seasons to the fulfilment of the end; and you shall stand in your lot at the end of the days.
But do thou go thy way until the end; and thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
