1And at that time shall Michael stand up, the
great prince which standeth for the children of thy
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 thy people shall be
delivered, every one that shall be found written in
the book.
2And many of them that sleep in the dust of
the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and
some to shame and everlasting
contempt.
3And they that be wise shall shine as the
brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many
to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
4But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and
seal the book, even to
the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and
knowledge shall be increased.
5Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there
stood 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.
6And one said
to the man clothed in linen, which was upon
the waters of the river, How long shall
it be to the end of these wonders?
7And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon
the waters of the river, when he held up his right
hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him
that liveth for ever that it
shall be for a time, times, and an half; and
when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power
of the holy people, all these things shall
be finished.
8And I heard, but I understood not: then said
I, O my Lord, what shall
be the end of these things?
9And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the
words are closed
up and sealed till the time of the end.
10Many shall be purified, and made white, and
tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of
the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall
understand.
11And from the time that the
daily sacrifice shall
be taken away, and the abomination that maketh
desolate set up, there
shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety
days.
12Blessed is he
that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three
hundred and five and thirty days.
13But go thou thy way till the end be:
for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end
of the days.
