There is an interesting contrast in Daniel 12. What would would we contrast with wicked? Good, righteous, moral? But in Daniel 12 the contrast is between the wicked and the wise. Those who know God and live in the light of his Sovereignty and his word.
It poses the question am I wise? Wisdom is knowledge of God lived out. It is seen in the rest of Daniel in the contrast between Daniel and the other courtiers, it is seen in Daniel's reliance not on himself, not on scheming and flattery but it utter outright dependence and loyalty to God.
Am I wise?
