Daniel 12:1–13

At that time

Michael,^h the great prince

who stands watch over your people, will rise up.

There will be a time of distressⁱ

such as never has occurred^j

since nations came into being until that time.^k

But at that time all your people

who are found written in the book^l will escape.^m

²Many who sleep in the dustⁿ

of the earth will awake,

some to eternal life,^o

and some to disgrace and eternal contempt.^p

³Those who have insight will shine

like the bright expanse of the heavens,^q

and those who lead many to righteousness,^r

like the stars forever and ever.

⁴“But you, Daniel, keep these words secret^s and seal the book^t until the time of the end.^u Many will roam about,^v and knowledge will increase.”^D

⁵Then I, Daniel, looked, and two others were standing there, one on this bank of the river and one on the other. ⁶One of them said to the man dressed in linen,^w who was above the water of the river,^x “How long until the end^y of these wondrous things?” ⁷Then I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the water of the river. He raised both his hands^Ez toward heaven and swore by him who lives eternally^aa that it would be for a time, times, and half a time.^ab When the power of the holy people is shattered, all these things will be completed.

⁸I heard but did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”^ac

⁹He said, “Go on your way, Daniel, for the words are secret^ad and sealed until the time of the end.^{ae 10}Many will be purified,^af cleansed, and refined,^ag but the wicked will act wickedly;^ah none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand.^{ai 11}From the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation^aj is set up,^ak there will be 1,290 days. ¹²Happy is the one who waits^al for and reaches 1,335 days. ¹³But as for you, go on your way to the end;^F you will rest, and then you will stand to receive^Gam your allotted inheritance at the end of the days.”
