What is the Jewish interpretation of Daniel 12:2

Hello, I have a question about Daniel 12:2 and I’m willing to learn more about the Jewish interpretation of the Tenakh.

ב וְרַבִּים, מִיְּשֵׁנֵי אַדְמַת-עָפָר יָקִיצוּ; אֵלֶּה לְחַיֵּי עוֹלָ וְאֵלֶּה לַחֲרָפוֹת לְדִרְאוֹן עוֹלָם.

2 “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproaches and everlasting abhorrence.”

I always interpreted this verse as talking about “Hell” as known in Christian theology. An eternal punishment granted to some people at the end of days. When I read Christian commentaries they all seemed to share the same interpretation as I did. But I’m wondering what the Jewish interpretation is and how it differs from the Christian one. Willing to learn more.
