1 "Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued. 2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting *contempt. 3 And *those who have insight will shine like the glow of the *expanse of heaven, and those who *lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
