Daniel 11:33-35

The Voice

³³ The truly wise among God’s people will help the many understand the need to resist; yet for quite some time they will be killed by sword and fire, or they will be imprisoned and their property taken. ³⁴ Those who fall victim to this persecution will receive only a little help, and many will join their cause out of smooth, deceptive speech. ³⁵ Some of the wise will fall victim and be martyred in order to be refined, purified, and made clean until the end, for the appointed time is still to come.
