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,
everyone who shall be found written in the book.
012:002 Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to
everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
012:003 Those who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse;
and those who turn many to righteousness as the stars
forever and ever.
012:004 But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book,
even to the time of the end: many shall run back and forth,
and knowledge shall be increased."
012:005 Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, there stood other two,
the one on the brink of the river on this side, and the other
on the brink of the river on that side.
012:006 One said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters
of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
012:007 I 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 shall
be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made
an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people,
all these things shall be finished.
012:008 I heard, but I didn't understand: then said I, my lord,
what shall be the issue of these things?
012:009 He said, Go your way, Daniel; for the words are shut up
and sealed until the time of the end.
012:010 Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white,
and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly;
and none of the wicked shall understand; but those who are
wise shall understand.
012:011 From the time that the continual [burnt offering] shall be
taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up,
there shall be one thousand two hundred ninety days.
012:012 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three
hundred thirty-five days.
012:013 But go you your way until the end be; for you shall rest,
and shall stand in your lot, at the end of the days.
