4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words and ⁱseal the book, until the ^jtime of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream. 6 And someone said to the ^kman clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream,^{1 l}“How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?” 7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; ^mhe raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and swore by him who lives forever that it would be ⁿfor a time, times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished. 8 I heard, but ^oI did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?” 9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many shall ^ppurify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but ^qthe wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand. 11 And from the time that the ^rregular burnt offering is taken away and the ^sabomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days. 12 Blessed is he who waits and arrives at the 1,335 days. 13 But go your way till the end. And you shall ^trest and shall stand in your allotted place at the end of the days.”
