Daniel 12:3-13

New International Version

³ Those who are wise^[a](A) will shine^(B) like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness,^(C) like the stars for ever and ever.^{(D) 4} But you, Daniel, roll up and seal^(E) the words of the scroll until the time of the end.^(F) Many will go here and there^(G) to increase knowledge.”

⁵ Then I, Daniel, looked, and there before me stood two others, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank.^{(H) 6} One of them said to the man clothed in linen,^(I) who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?”^(J)

⁷ The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand^(K) and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever,^(L) saying, “It will be for a time, times and half a time.^[b](M) When the power of the holy people^(N) has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.^(O)”

⁸ I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?”

⁹ He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed^(P) until the time of the end.^{(Q) 10} Many will be purified, made spotless and refined,^(R) but the wicked will continue to be wicked.^(S) None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.^(T)

¹¹ “From the time that the daily sacrifice^(U) is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation^(V) is set up, there will be 1,290 days.^{(W) 12} Blessed is the one who waits^(X) for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.^(Y)

¹³ “As for you, go your way till the end.^(Z) You will rest,^(AA) and then at the end of the days you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance.^(AB)”
