1 And at that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who stands for the sons of your people; and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people will be delivered, everyone who will be found written in the book.2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.3 And those who are wise will shine as the brightness of the firmament; and those who turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
