Daniel

Daniel 12:8–10

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

⁹“Go on your way, Daniel,” he replied, “for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. ¹⁰Many will be purified, made spotless, and refined, but the wicked will continue to act wickedly. None of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand.
