1 “At that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who stands
for the children of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such
as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that
time your people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be 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.
3 Those who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and
those who turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever. 4 But
you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the
end: many shall run back and forth, and knowledge shall be increased.”
5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on
the brink of the river on this side, and the other on the brink of the river
on that side. 6 One said to the man clothed in linen, who was above 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. 8 I heard, but I didn’t understand: then
said I, my lord, what shall be the issue of these things? 9 He said, Go
your way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the
end. 10 Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be
refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall
understand; but those who are wise shall understand. 11 From the time that
the continual burnt offering shall be taken away, and the abomination
that makes desolate set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred ninety
days. 12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three
hundred thirty-five days. 13 But go you your way until the end be; for you
shall rest, and shall stand in your lot, at the end of the days.
