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.
