1 “Now at that time ADan 10:13, 21; Rev 12:7Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a BRev 7:14; 16:18time of distress CJer 30:7; Ezek 5:9; Dan 9:12; Matt 24:21; Mark 13:19such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the DDan 7:10; 10:21book, will be rescued. 2  “AIs 26:19; Ezek 37:12-14Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, BMatt 25:46; John 5:28, 29these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting 1Lit abhorrencecontempt. 3  “1Or The instructors willThose who have ADan 11:33, 35; 12:10insight will BJohn 5:35shine brightly like the brightness of the 2Or firmamentexpanse of heaven, and those who CIs 53:11; Dan 11:33lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. 4  “But as for you, Daniel, ADan 8:26; 12:9conceal these words and BIs 8:16; Dan 12:9; Rev 22:10seal up the book until the CDan 8:17; 12:9, 13end of time; DIs 11:9; 29:18, 19; Dan 11:33many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.”

5 Then I, Daniel, looked and behold, two others were standing, one on this bank of the river and the other on that bank of the river. 6 And ADan 8:16; Zech 1:12, 13one said to the man BEzek 9:2; Dan 10:5dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “CDan 8:13; 12:8; Matt 24:3; Mark 13:4How long will it be until the end of these wonders?” 7 I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, 1Lit andas he AEzek 20:5; Rev 10:5, 6raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by BDan 4:34Him who lives forever that it would be for a 2I.e. year(s)CDan 7:25; Rev 12:14time, 2I.e. year(s)times, and half a 2I.e. year(s)time; and as soon as 3Lit to finishthey finish DDan 8:24; Luke 21:24shattering the 4Lit handpower of the holy people, all these events will be completed. 8 As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, “My lord, what will be the 1Or final endoutcome of these events?” 9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and ADan 12:4sealed up until the end time. 10  “AZech 13:9Many will be purged, 1Lit made whitepurified and refined, but the BIs 32:6, 7; Rev 22:11wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but 2Or the instructors willthose who CDan 12:3; Hos 14:9; John 7:17; 8:47have insight will understand. 11  “From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the 1Or horrible abominationADan 9:27; 11:31; Matt 24:15; Mark 13:14abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. 12  “How AIs 30:18blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the BDan 8:14; Rev 11:2; 12:6; 13:51,335 days! 13  “But as for you, go your way to the 1I.e. end of your lifeend; then you will enter into AIs 57:2; Rev 14:13rest and rise again for your BPs 16:5allotted portion at the end of the 2Lit daysage.”
