You answer us in righteousness,

with awe-inspiring works,

God of our salvation,

and of the distant seas.

Those who live far away are awed by your signs;

“This is the end of the account. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts terrified me greatly, and my face turned pale,[fn] but I kept the matter to myself.”

So he approached where I was standing; when he came near, I was terrified and fell facedown. “Son of man,” he said to me, “understand that the vision refers to the time of the end.”

and said, “I am here to tell you what will happen at the conclusion of the time of wrath, because it refers to the appointed time of the end.

“The two kings, whose hearts are bent on evil, will speak lies at the same table but to no avail, for still the end will come at the appointed time.

I replied, “A basket of summer fruit.”[fn]

There is no end to the treasure,

an abundance of every precious thing.

Charging horseman,

flashing sword,

shining spear;

heaps of slain,

mounds of corpses,

dead bodies without end —

they stumble over their dead.

Cush and Egypt were her endless source of strength;

Put and Libya were among her[fn] allies.

For the vision is yet for the appointed time;

it testifies about the end and will not lie.

Though it delays, wait for it,

since it will certainly come and not be late.

From beyond the rivers of Cush

my supplicants, my dispersed people,

will bring an offering to me.
