Then I, Daniel, looked, and two others appeared, one standing on this bank of the stream and one on the other. One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was upstream, “How long shall it be until the end of these wonders?”(A) The man clothed in linen, who was upstream, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven. And I heard him swear by the one who lives forever that it would be for a time, two times, and half a time[a] and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be accomplished.(B) I heard but could not understand, so I said, “My lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?” He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are to remain secret and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many shall be purified, cleansed, and refined, but the wicked shall continue to act wickedly. None of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand.(C) 11 From the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the desolating sacrilege is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred ninety days.(D) 12 Happy are those who persevere and attain the thousand three hundred thirty-five days.(E) 13 But you, go your way,[b] and rest; you shall rise for your reward at the end of the days.”(F)

Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on (A)this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream. And someone said to (B)the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream,[a] (C)“How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?” And I heard (D)the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; (E)he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and (F)swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a (G)time, times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of (H)the power of (I)the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished. I heard, (J)but I did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?” He said, (K)“Go your way, Daniel, (L)for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 (M)Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but (N)the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, (O)but those who are wise shall understand. 11 And from the time that (P)the regular burnt offering is taken away and (Q)the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days. 12 (R)Blessed is he who waits and arrives at the 1,335 days. 13 (S)But go your way till the end. (T)And you shall rest and shall stand in your allotted place at (U)the end of the days.”
