1. And 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, every one who shall be found written in the book.
2. And 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. And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament; and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars for ever and ever.
4. But you, 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.
5. Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood two others, the one on the bank of the river on this side, and the other on the bank of the river on that side.
6. And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7. And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8. And I heard, but I did not understand: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9. And he said, Go your way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10. Many 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.
11. And from the time that the daily service shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12. Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty five days.
13. But go your way till the end be: for you shall rest, and stand in your lot at the end of the days.
