Daniel 12:5-7
Living Bible
5 Then I, Daniel, looked and saw two men[a] on each bank of a river. 6 And one of them asked the man in linen robes who was standing now above the river, “How long will it be until all these terrors end?”
7 He replied, with both hands lifted to heaven, taking oath by him who lives forever and ever, that they will not end until three and a half years after the power of God’s people has been crushed.[b]

New International Version
5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and there before me stood two others, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank.(A) 6 One of them said to the man clothed in linen,(B) who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?”(C)
7 The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand(D) and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever,(E) saying, “It will be for a time, times and half a time.[a](F) When the power of the holy people(G) has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.(H)”
