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.

And at that time shall Michael arise, the great prince that standeth up 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 time; and at that time shall thy people be delivered, every one that is 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 them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame, to everlasting contempt.

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.

And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn the many to righteousness, as the stars for ever and ever.

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, Daniel, shut up these words, and seal this book even to the time of the end. Many shall run eagerly through it, and much knowledge shall be gained.

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, two others stood there, one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that 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 till these wonders take place?"

And one of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was 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 clothed in linen, who was upon the waters of the river, and he lifted up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him that liveth forever, that in a time, times, and a half, even when the dispersion of a portion of the holy people should be at an end, all these things should be fulfilled.

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 but understood not; and I said, My lord, what is the latter end of 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 thy way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

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 cleansed, and made white, and purified, and the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but the wise will 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 daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination of the destroyer set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

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

Happy is he that waiteth and cometh to a thousand three hundred and 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 way even to the end; for thou shalt rest, and rise up to thy lot at the end of the days.
