¹⁰ And he said to me, ^(A)“Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.

²⁶ The vision of ^(A)the evenings and the mornings that has been told ^(B)is true, but ^(C)seal up the vision, ^(D)for it refers to many days from now.”

^3 (A)Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, ^(B)for the time is near.

^7 (A)The end of all things is at hand; therefore ^(B)be self-controlled and sober-minded ^(C)for the sake of your prayers.

⁴ And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, ^(A)“Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.”

²⁷ What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on ^(A)the housetops.

⁹ He said, ^(A)“Go your way, Daniel, ^(B)for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.

⁴ But 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.”

²³ Tell them therefore, ‘Thus says the Lord God: I will put an end to this proverb, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.’ But say to them, ^(A)The days are near, and the fulfillment^[a] of every vision.

^12 (A)The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us ^(B)cast off ^(C)the works of darkness and ^(D)put on the armor of light.
