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 who sleep in the dust ⓐ of the earth will awake, some to eternal life, ⓑ and some to disgrace and eternal contempt. ⓒ

³ Those who have insight 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 water of the river, ⓚ “How long until the end ⓛ of these wondrous things?”

⁷ Then I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the water 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 those who have insight 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 Happy is the one who waits ⓚ for and reaches 1,335 days.

¹³ But as for you, go on your way to the end; [3] you will rest, and then you will stand to receive ⓛ your allotted inheritance at the end of the days.”
