Daniel 12

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 12 of 12

1 And at that time, Michael shall stand up, the great Ruler who stands for the sons of your people. And there shall be a time of distress, such as has not been from the being of a nation until that time. And at that time, your people shall be delivered, everyone that shall be found written in the Book.

2 And many of the sleeping ones in the dust of the ground shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproaches and to everlasting abhorrence.

3 And those who act wisely shall shine as the shining of the expanse, and those turning many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
