Daniel 12:3 in Context — Daniel 12

1 En ce temps-là se lèvera Micaël, le grand chef, le défenseur des enfants de ton peuple; et ce sera une époque de détresse, telle qu’il n’y en a point eu de semblable depuis que les nations existent jusqu’à cette époque. En ce temps-là, ceux de ton peuple qui seront trouvés inscrits dans le livre seront sauvés.

2 Plusieurs de ceux qui dorment dans la poussière de la terre se réveilleront, les uns pour la vie éternelle, et les autres pour l’opprobre, pour la honte éternelle.

3 Ceux qui auront été intelligents brilleront comme la splendeur du ciel, et ceux qui auront enseigné la justice, à la multitude brilleront comme les étoiles, à toujours et à perpétuité.

4 Toi, Daniel, tiens secrètes ces paroles, et scelle le livre jusqu’au temps de la fin. Plusieurs alors le liront, et la connaissance augmentera.

5 Et moi, Daniel, je regardai, et voici, deux autres hommes se tenaient debout, l’un en deçà du bord du fleuve, et l’autre au-delà du bord du fleuve.
