Daniel 12

1 And at that time will Michael, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people, stand forth; and there will be a time of distress, such as hath never been since the existence of any nation, until that same time; and at that time shall thy people be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

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.

2 And many of those that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to disgrace and everlasting abhorrence.

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 the intelligent shall shine brilliantly like the brilliance of the expanse [of the sky]; and they that bring many to righteousness shall be like the stars, for ever 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, close up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end: many will roam about, yet shall knowledge be increased.

And you, 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, there were two others standing, the one on this side of the bank of the stream, and the other on that side of the bank of the stream.

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.

6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, 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 you has mentioned?

7 Then heard I the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; and he lifted up his right hand and his left hand unto the heavens, and swore by the Everliving One that after a time, times, and a half, and when there shall be an end to the crushing of the power of the holy people, all these things shall be ended.

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 indeed, but I understood it not: then said I, O my lord, what shall be the end 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 closed 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 be selected and cleansed, and purified; but the wicked will deal wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand: but the intelligent will 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 sacrifice will be removed, even to set up the desolating abomination, there will be a thousand 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 and two hundred and ninety days.

12 Happy is he that waiteth, and attaineth to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

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

13 But thou, go [thy way] toward the end; and thou shalt rest, and arise again for thy lot at the end of the days.

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.
