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 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.”
