Daniel 12:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And many [a]of them that sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and perpetual contempt.
3 And they that be [b]wise, shall shine, as the brightness of the firmament: and they that [c]turn many to righteousness, shall shine as the stars, forever and ever.
4 But thou, O Daniel, [d]shut up the words, and seal the book [e]till the end of the time: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
