Daniel 11:33-35

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³³ And those among the people who are wise shall make many understand, though they shall fall by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder, for some days. ³⁴ When they fall, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join themselves to them with flattery; ³⁵ and some of those who are wise shall fall, to refine and to cleanse them^[a] and to make them white, until the time of the end, for it is yet for the time appointed.
