Daniel 12  English Standard Version Anglicised

The Time of the End

12 “At that time shall arise ^(A)Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And ^(B)there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, ^(C)everyone whose name shall be found written in the book. ² And many of those who ^(D)sleep in ^(E)the dust of the earth shall ^(F)awake, ^(G)some to everlasting life, and ^(H)some to shame and everlasting contempt. ^3 (I)And those who are wise ^(J)shall shine like the brightness of the sky above;^[a] and ^(K)those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. ⁴ But you, Daniel, ^(L)shut up the words and ^(M)seal the book, until ^(N)the time of the end. ^(O)Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

⁵ Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on ^(P)this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream. ⁶ And someone said to ^(Q)the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream,^{[b] (R)}“How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?” ⁷ And I heard ^(S)the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; ^(T)he raised his right hand and his left hand towards heaven and ^(U)swore by him who lives for ever that it would be for a ^(V)time, times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of ^(W)the power of ^(X)the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished. ⁸ I heard, ^(Y)but I did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?” ⁹ He said, ^(Z)“Go your way, Daniel, ^(AA)for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. ^10 (AB)Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but ^(AC)the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, ^(AD)but those who are wise shall understand. ¹¹ And from the time that ^(AE)the regular burnt offering is taken away and ^(AF)the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days. ^12 (AG)Blessed is he who waits and arrives at the 1,335 days. ^13 (AH)But go your way till the end. ^(AI)And you shall rest and shall stand in your allotted place at ^(AJ)the end of the days.”
