Daniel 12:4-13

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁴ But as for you, Daniel, ^(A)conceal these words and ^(B)seal up the book until the ^(C)end of time; ^(D)many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.”

⁵ Then I, Daniel, looked and behold, two others were standing, one on this bank of the river and the other on that bank of the river. ⁶ And ^(E)one said to the man ^(F)dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “^(G)How long will it be until the end of these wonders?” ⁷ I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, ^[a]as he ^(H)raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by ^(I)Him who lives forever that it would be for a ^[b](J)time, ^[c]times, and half a ^[d]time; and as soon as ^[e]they finish ^(K)shattering the ^[f]power of the holy people, all these events will be completed. ⁸ As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, “My lord, what will be the ^[g]outcome of these events?” ⁹ He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and ^(L)sealed up until the end time. ^10 (M)Many will be purged, ^[h]purified and refined, but the ^(N)wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but ^[i]those who ^(O)have insight will understand. ¹¹ From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the ^[j](P)abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. ¹² How ^(Q)blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the ^(R)1,335 days! ¹³ But as for you, go your way to the ^[k]end; then you will enter into ^(S)rest and rise again for your ^(T)allotted portion at the end of the ^[l]age.”
