Hosea

¹ At 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. ⓕ

² Many of those who sleep in the dust ⓖ of the earth will awake, some to eternal life, ⓗ and some to shame and eternal contempt. ⓘ

³ Those who are wise will shine like the bright expanse of the heavens, ⓙ and those who lead many to righteousness, ⓚ like the stars forever and ever.

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.” [1]

⁵ Then I, Daniel, looked, and two others were standing there, one on this bank of the river and one on the other.

⁶ One of them said to the man dressed in linen, ⓟ who was above the waters of the river, ⓠ “How long until the end ⓡ of these extraordinary things?”

⁷ Then I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river. He raised both his hands [2] ⓢ 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.

⁸ I heard but did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?” ⓥ

⁹ He said, “Go on your way, Daniel, for the words are secret ⓦ and sealed until the time of the end. ⓧ

¹⁰ Many will be purified, ⓨ cleansed, and refined, ⓩ but the wicked will act wickedly; ⓐ none of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand. ⓑ

¹¹ From the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation ⓒ is set up, ⓓ there will be 1,290 days.

¹² The one who waits ⓔ for and reaches 1,335 days is blessed.

¹³ But as for you, go on your way to the end; [3] you will rest, then rise ⓕ to your destiny at the end of the days.”
