Daniel 11:32-35

English Standard Version

³² He shall seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action. ^33 (A)And the wise among the people shall make many understand, though for some days they shall stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder. ³⁴ When they stumble, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join themselves to them with flattery, ³⁵ and some of the wise shall stumble, so that they may be refined, ^(B)purified, and ^(C)made white, until ^(D)the time of the end, ^(E)for it still awaits the appointed time.
