“Many of those shall awake
    who sleep in the dust of the earth.
Some shall gain everlasting life;
    others will earn shame and everlasting disgrace.
However, the wise will shine
    like the brightness of the heavens,
and those who lead many to righteousness
    will be as bright as the stars forever and ever.
