¹“At that time Michael will stand up , the great prince who stands for the children of your people ; and there will be a time of trouble , such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time . At that time your people will be delivered , everyone 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 as the brightness of the expanse . Those who turn many to righteousness will shine as the stars forever and ever .

⁴But you , Daniel , shut up the words and seal the book , even to the time of the end . Many will run back and forth , and knowledge will be increased .”

⁵Then I , Daniel , looked , and behold , two others stood , one on the river bank on this side , and the other on the river bank on that side .

⁶One 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 , when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven , and swore by him who lives forever that it will be for a time , times , and a half ; and when they have finished breaking in pieces the power of the holy people , all these things will be finished .

⁸I heard , but I didn’t understand . Then I said , “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things ?”

⁹He said , “Go your way , Daniel ; for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end .

¹⁰Many will purify themselves, and make themselves white , and be refined , but the wicked will do wickedly ; and none of the wicked will understand , but those who are wise will understand .

¹¹“From the time that the continual burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate set up , there will be one thousand and two hundred and ninety days .

¹²Blessed is he who waits , and comes to the one thousand and three hundred and thirty-five days .

¹³“But go your way until the end ; for you will rest , and will stand in your inheritance at the end of the days .”
