| Chapter 12
|
1 | And at that time
shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy
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 thy people shall be
delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. |
2 | And many of them that sleep in
the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame
and everlasting contempt. |
3
| And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the
firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and
ever. |
4 | But thou,
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 other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river,
and the other on that side of the bank of the river. |
6 | And one said to the man clothed in
linen, which 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, which was upon the waters of the
river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware
by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an 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 understood not: then said I, O my
Lord, what shall be the end of these things? |
9 | And he said, Go thy 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 sacrifice
shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there
shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. |
12 | Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to
the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. |
13 | But go thou thy way till the end
be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. |
