Daniel 11:33-35

International Standard Version

³³ Insightful people^[a] will impart understanding to many, though they’ll fall by sword, by fire, by captivity, and as war booty for a while.^{[b] 34} When they fall, they’ll be given some relief, but many will join them by pretending to be sympathetic to their cause. ³⁵ Some of the insightful will fall so they may be refined, purged, and purified until the time of the end, since it will surely come about.’”
