1"At that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who stands up for the children of your people. There will be a time of trouble, such as there never was since there was a nation, right up to that time. And at that time your people will be delivered, every one who is found written in the book."
2Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the sky, and those who turn many to righteousness will shine like the stars for ever and ever.
4"But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will run here and there, and knowledge will be increased."
5Then I, Daniel, looked, and there stood two others, one on this bank of the river, and the other on that bank of the river.
6One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "How long will it be to the end of these wonders?"
7I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river. He held up his right hand and his left hand towards heaven, and swore by him who lives for ever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time. "And when he has finished scattering the power of the holy people, all these things will be finished."
8I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, "My Lord, what will be the end of these things?"
9And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end."
10Many will be purified, and made white, and tested. But the wicked will act wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand. But the wise will understand.
11And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there will be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12Blessed is the one who waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
13"But you, go your way till the end comes. For you will rest, and will stand in your place at the end of the days."
