5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on ⁿthis bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream. 6 And someone said to ^othe man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream,^{1 p}“How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?” 7 And I heard ^othe man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; ^qhe raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and ^rswore by him who lives forever that it would be for a ^stime, times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of ^tthe power of ^tthe holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished. 8 I heard, ^ubut I did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?” 9 He said, ^v“Go your way, Daniel, ^wfor the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 ^xMany shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but ^ythe wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, ^gbut those who are wise shall understand.
