Daniel 12

1 “And at that time Michael stands up, the great head, who is standing up for the sons of your people, and there has been a time of distress, such as has not been since there has been a nation until that time, and at that time your people escape, everyone who is found written in the scroll.

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 the multitude of those sleeping in the dust of the ground awake, some to continuous life, and some to reproaches—to continuous 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 those teaching shine as the brightness of the expanse, and those justifying the multitude as stars for all time and forever.”

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 “And you, O Daniel, hide the things, and seal the scroll until the time of the end, many go to and fro, and knowledge is multiplied.”

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 “And I have looked—I, Daniel—and behold, two others are standing, one here at the edge of the flood and one there at the edge of the flood,

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 he says to the one clothed in linen, who [is] on the waters of the flood, Until when [is] 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 hear the one clothed in linen, who [is] on the waters of the flood, and he lifts up his right hand and his left to the heavens, and swears by Him who is living for all time, that, After a time, times, and a half, and at the completion of the scattering of the power of the holy people, all these are 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 have heard, and I do not understand, and I say, O my lord, what [is] the latter end of these?

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

9 And he says, Go, Daniel; for hidden and sealed [are] the things until 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 Purify themselves, indeed, make themselves white, indeed, many are refined: and the wicked have done wickedly, and none of the wicked understand, and those acting wisely 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 of the turning aside of the continuous [sacrifice], and to the giving out of the desolating abomination, [are] one 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 two hundred and ninety days.

12 O the blessedness of him who is waiting earnestly, and comes to the one thousand, three hundred, thirty-five days.

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

13 And you, go on to the end, then you rest, and stand in your 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.
