²⁸ Let them ^(A)be blotted out of the book of the living,
^(B)And not be written with the righteous.

^10 (A)A fiery stream issued
And came forth from before Him.
^(B)A thousand thousands ministered to Him;
Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.
^(C)The ^[a]court was seated,
And the books were opened.

12 “At that time Michael shall stand up,
The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;
^(A)And there shall be a time of trouble,
Such as never was since there was a nation,
Even to that time.
And at that time your people ^(B)shall be delivered,
Every one who is found ^(C)written in the book.

¹⁶ Then those ^(A)who feared the Lord ^(B)spoke to one another,
And the Lord listened and heard them;
So ^(C)a book of remembrance was written before Him
For those who fear the Lord
And who ^[a]meditate on His name.
