1At that time Michael, the great ruler who stands over the sons of your people, will stand, and there will be a time of distress such as has not occurred since a nation came into existence until that time; at that time your people will escape, everyone who is found written in the scroll.2Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, these to life forever and these to reproach and abhorrence forever.3Those who are prudent will shine like the brightness of the expanse, and those who justify the many like the stars forever and ever.4But you, Daniel, close the words and seal the scroll until the time of the end; many will rove and knowledge will increase.5Then I, Daniel, saw, and behold, two others standing, one on this bank of the river and one on the other bank of the river.6He said to the man clothed in linen who was above the waters of the Nile, Until when is the end of these wonders?7I heard the man clothed in linen who was above the waters of the Nile; he raised his right hand and his left hand toward the heavens and swore by the one who lives forever that it will be for a time, times, and half, and when the shattering of the hand of the holy people is finished, all these will end.8I heard this but did not understand it, so I asked, My lord, what will be the outcome of all this?9He said, Go, Daniel, for the words are closed and sealed until the time of the end.10Many will be purified, made spotless, and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked; none of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.11From the time the continual is removed and the abomination that desolates is set, there will be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.12Blessed is the one who waits and reaches one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.13As for you, go your way till the end; you will rest and then stand in your allotted place at the end of the days.
