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 occurredj
since nations came into being until that time.k
But at that time all your people
who are found written in the bookl will escape.m
2 Many who sleep in the dustn
of the earth will awake,
some to eternal life,o
and some to disgrace and eternal contempt.p
3 Those 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 secrets and seal the bookt until the time of the end.u Many will roam about,v and knowledge will increase.”E
5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and two others were standing there, one on this bank of the river and one on the other. 6 One of them said to the man dressed in linen,w who was above the water of the river,x “How long until the endy of these wondrous things?” 7 Then I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the water of the river. He raised both his handsF,z toward heaven and swore by him who lives eternallyaa 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.
8 I heard but did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”ac
9 He said, “Go on your way, Daniel, for the words are secretad 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 desolationaj is set up,ak there will be 1,290 days. 12 Happy is the one who waitsal for and reaches 1,335 days. 13 But as for you, go on your way to the end;G you will rest, and then you will stand to receiveam your allotted inheritance at the end of the days.”

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
