Daniel 12:3

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

And they that be wise {H7919} shall shine {H2094} as the brightness {H2096} of the firmament {H7549}; and they that turn many {H7227} to righteousness {H6663} as the stars {H3556} for ever {H5769} and ever {H5703}.

But those who can discern will shine like the brightness of heaven's dome, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.

Then the wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever.

And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
