Chapter 12

And at that time shall Michael stand up,⁴ the great prince which standeth⁶ for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was⁸ since there was a nation [even] to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered,¹¹ every one that shall be found¹² written⁷ in the book.

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,⁵⁵ some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] everlasting contempt.

And they that be wise⁵⁶ shall shine⁵⁵ as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness⁵⁶ as the stars for ever and ever.

But thou, O Daniel, shut up³ the words, and seal³ the book, [even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro,³⁴ and knowledge shall be increased.⁴

Then I Daniel looked,¹ and, behold, there stood⁶ other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.

And [one] said⁴ to the man clothed⁷ in linen, which [was] upon the waters of the river, How long [shall it be to] the end of these wonders?

And I heard⁴ the man clothed⁷ in linen, which [was] upon the waters of the river, when he held up⁵⁵ his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware¹¹ by him that liveth for ever that [it shall be] for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished¹⁵ to scatter¹⁵ the power of the holy people, all these [things] shall be finished.⁴

And I heard,¹ but I understood⁴ not: then said⁴ I, O my Lord, what [shall be] the end of these [things]?

And he said,⁴ Go thy way,³ Daniel: for the words [are] closed up⁷ and sealed⁷ till the time of the end.

Many shall be purified,¹⁰¹ and made white,¹⁰¹ and tried;¹¹ but the wicked shall do wickedly:⁵² and none of the wicked shall understand;⁴ but the wise⁵⁶ shall understand.⁴

And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken away,⁹⁰ and the abomination that maketh desolate⁶ set up,² [there shall be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

Blessed [is] he that waiteth,¹⁸ and cometh⁵⁵ to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

But go thou thy way³ till the end [be]: for thou shalt rest,⁴ and stand⁴ in thy lot at the end of the days.
