Daniel 12

The Time of the Judgment and the Resurrection of Two Groups

1 "Now at that time, Michael, the great prince, will arise, the protector*Literally "the one who stands with" over the sons of your people, and it will be a time of distress that has not been since your people have been*Literally "to be" or "being" a nation until that time. And at that time your people will escape, everyone who is found*Literally "all of the being found" written in the scroll.*Or "book"2 And many from those sleeping in the dusty ground*Literally "of the ground of dust" will awake, some to everlasting life*Literally "life of eternity" and some to disgrace and everlasting contempt.*Literally "contempt of eternity"3 But the ones having insight will shine like the brightness of the expanse, and the ones providing justice for the many*Or "leading the many in righteousness" will be like the stars forever and ever.*Literally "to eternity and ever"
