¹⁴ And now, indeed, I am going to my people. Come, ^(A)I will advise you what this people will do to your people in the ^(B)latter days.”

Jacob’s Last Words to His Sons

49 And Jacob called his sons and said, “Gather together, that I may ^(A)tell you what shall befall you ^(B)in the last days:

¹⁴ But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of ^(A)Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, ^(B)to eat things sacrificed to idols, ^(C)and to commit sexual immorality.

^28 (A)But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar ^(B)what will be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed, were these:

^10 (A)Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. ^(B)Be faithful until death, and I will give you ^(C)the crown of life.

Perilous Times and Perilous Men

3 But know this, that ^(A)in the last days ^[a]perilous times will come:

⁵ Afterward the children of Israel shall return and ^(A)seek the Lord their God and ^(B)David their king. They shall fear the Lord and His goodness in the ^(C)latter days.
