| 1And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. | 1At that time Michael, the great prince who stands watch over your people, will rise up. There will be a time of distress such as never has occurred since nations came into being until that time. But at that time all your people who are found written in the book will escape. |

| 4But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. | 4"But you, Daniel, keep these words secret and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will roam about, and knowledge will increase." |

| 6And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? | 6One of them said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the water of the river, "How long until the end of these wondrous things?" |
| 7And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. | 7Then I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the water of the river. He raised both his hands toward heaven and swore by him who lives eternally that it would be for a time, times, and half a time. When the power of the holy people is shattered, all these things will be completed. |
| 8And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? | 8I heard but did not understand. So I asked, "My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?" |
