Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on the river bank on this side, and the other on the river bank on that side. One said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be to the end of these wonders?”

I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives forever that it will be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have finished breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things will be finished.

I heard, but I didn’t understand. Then I said, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”

He said, “Go your way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many will purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand; but those who are wise will understand.

11 “From the time that the continual burnt offering is taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there will be one thousand two hundred ninety days. 12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.

13 “But go your way until the end; for you will rest, and will stand in your inheritance at the end of the days.”

Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others were standing, one on this bank of the stream and the other on that bank of the stream. 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! 13 But as for you, go your way to the [k]end; then you will (O)rest and [l]rise for your (P)allotted portion at the end of the [m]age.”
