12:9. And he said: Go, Daniel, because the words are shut up, and sealed until the appointed time.
12:10. Many shall be chosen, and made white, and shall be tried as fire: and the wicked shall deal wickedly, and none of the wicked shall understand, but the learned shall understand.
12:11. And from the time when the continual sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination unto desolation shall be set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred ninety days.
12:12. Blessed is he that waitedth, and cometh unto a thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
12:13. But go thou thy ways until the time appointed: and thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot unto the end of the days.
Daniel Chapter 13
The history of Susanna and the two elders.
This history of Susanna, in all the ancient Greek and Latin Bibles, was placed in the beginning of the book of Daniel: till St. Jerome, in his translation, detached it from thence; because he did not find it in the Hebrew: which is also the case of the history of Bel and the Dragon. But both the one and the other are received by the Catholic Church: and were from the very beginning a part of the Christian Bible.
13:1. Now there was a man that dwelt in Babylon, and his name was Joakim:
13:2. And he took a wife, whose name was Susanna, the daughter of Helcias, a bery beautiful woman, and one that feared God.
