12 “At that time Michael shall stand up,
The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;
^(A)And there shall be a time of trouble,
Such as never was since there was a nation,
Even to that time.
And at that time your people ^(B)shall be delivered,
Every one who is found ^(C)written in the book.

^2 (A)A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.
^(B)A people come, great and strong,
^(C)The like of whom has never been;
Nor will there ever be any such after them,
Even for many successive generations.
