12:1 “At that time Michael,

the great prince who watches over your people, ¹

There will be a time of distress

unlike any other from the nation’s beginning ³

But at that time your own people,

all those whose names are ⁴  found written in the book,

will escape.

12:7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen who was over the waters of the river as he raised both his right and left hands to the sky ⁵  and made an oath by the one who lives forever: “It is for a time, times, and half a time. Then, when the power of the one who shatters ⁶  the holy people has been exhausted, all these things will be finished.”

Daniel 12:11
