Daniel 12:4-13

English Standard Version

⁴But you, Daniel, ^(A)shut up the words and ^(B)seal the book, until ^(C)the time of the end. ^(D)Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

⁵Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on ^(E)this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream. ⁶And someone said to ^(F)the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream,^[a] ^(G)“How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?” ⁷And I heard ^(H)the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; ^(I)he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and ^(J)swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a ^(K)time, times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of ^(L)the power of ^(M)the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished. ⁸I heard, ^(N)but I did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?” ⁹He said, ^(O)“Go your way, Daniel, ^(P)for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. ¹⁰^(Q)Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but ^(R)the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, ^(S)but those who are wise shall understand. ¹¹And from the time that ^(T)the regular burnt offering is taken away and ^(U)the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days. ¹²^(V)Blessed is he who waits and arrives at the 1,335 days. ¹³^(W)But go your way till the end. ^(X)And you shall rest and shall stand in your allotted place at ^(Y)the end of the days.”
