Chapter 12

“At that time there shall arise
    Michael, the great prince,
    the guardian of your people.
Then there will be a period
    that will be unsurpassed in distress
    since nations first came into existence.
At that time your own people will be spared,
    everyone whose names are found written in the book.
“Many of those shall awake
    who sleep in the dust of the earth.
Some shall gain everlasting life;
    others will earn shame and everlasting disgrace.
However, the wise will shine
    like the brightness of the heavens,
and those who lead many to righteousness
    will be as bright as the stars forever and ever.
