1 “At that time there shall arise Michael,the great prince,guardian of your people;It shall be a time unsurpassed in distresssince the nation began until that time.At that time your people shall escape,everyone who is found written in the book.
2 Many of those who sleepin the dust of the earth shall awake;Some to everlasting life,others to reproach and everlasting disgrace.
3 But those with insight shall shine brightlylike the splendor of the firmament,And those who lead the many to justiceshall be like the stars forever.
4 “As for you, Daniel, keep secret the message and seal the book until the end time; many shall wander aimlessly and evil shall increase.”
