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. |
