And (A)someone said to the man (B)dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, “(C)How long will it be until the end of these wonders?” And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, [a]as he (D)raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by (E)Him who lives forever that it would be for a [b](F)time, [c]times, and half a [d]time; and as soon as [e]they finish (G)smashing the [f]power of the holy people, all these events will be completed. But as for me, I heard but did not understand; so I said, “My lord, what will be the [g]outcome of these events?” And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for these words will be kept secret and (H)sealed up until the end time. 10 (I)Many will be purged, [h]cleansed, and refined, but the (J)wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but [i]those who (K)have insight will understand. 11 And from the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the (L)abomination [j]of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. 12 (M)Blessed is the one who is patient and attains to the (N)1,335 days!
