| 4"But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase." | 4Now as for you, Daniel, roll up your scroll and seal your words until the time of the end. Many will rush around, while knowledge increases.'" |
| 5Then I, Daniel, looked and behold, two others were standing, one on this bank of the river and the other on that bank of the river. | 5"Then while I, Daniel, continued watching, suddenly two others stood there, one on this side of the river bank and one on the other side. |
| 6And one said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "How long will it be until the end of these wonders?" | 6One asked the man dressed in linen clothes, who was standing above the waters of the river, 'How long until the fulfillment of the wonders?' |
| 7I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all these events will be completed. | 7"I heard the man dressed in linen clothes, who was standing above the waters of the river as he lifted his right and left hands to heaven and swore by the one who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and a half. When the shattering of the power of the holy people has occurred, all these things will conclude." |
| 8As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, "My lord, what will be the outcome of these events?" | 8"I heard, but I didn't understand. So I asked, 'Sir, what happens next?' |
| 9He said, "Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time. | 9"He answered, 'Go on your way, Daniel, because these matters are wrapped up and sealed until the time of the end. |

Nevertheless, the insightful will understand. |
