1 “At that time Michael shall stand up,
The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;
^aAnd there shall be a time of trouble,
Such as never was since there was a nation,
Even to that time.
And at that time your people ^bshall be delivered,
Every one who is found ^cwritten in the book. ‡

3 Those who are wise shall ^ashine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
^bAnd those who turn many to righteousness
^cLike the stars forever and ever.  ‡

4 “But you, Daniel, ^ashut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall ^brun to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”  ‡
