Daniel 12:4-9

English Standard Version

⁴ But you, Daniel, ^(A)shut up the words and ^(B)seal the book, until ^(C)the time of the end. ^(D)Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

⁵ Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on ^(E)this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream. ⁶ And someone said to ^(F)the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream,^{[a] (G)}“How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?” ⁷ And I heard ^(H)the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; ^(I)he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and ^(J)swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a ^(K)time, times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of ^(L)the power of ^(M)the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished. ⁸ I heard, ^(N)but I did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?” ⁹ He said, ^(O)“Go your way, Daniel, ^(P)for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
