Daniel 12:5-7
New English Translation
5 I, Daniel, watched as two others stood there, one on each side of the river.[a] 6 One said to the man clothed in linen who was above the waters of the river, “When will the end of these wondrous events occur?” 7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen who was over the waters of the river as he raised both his right and left hands to the sky[b] and made an oath by the one who lives forever: “It is for a time, times, and half a time. Then, when the power of the one who shatters[c] the holy people has been exhausted, all these things will be finished.”
