Daniel 12:7-10

New International Version

⁷ The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand^(A) and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever,^(B) saying, “It will be for a time, times and half a time.^[a](C) When the power of the holy people^(D) has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.^(E)”

⁸ I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?”

⁹ He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed^(F) until the time of the end.^{(G) 10} Many will be purified, made spotless and refined,^(H) but the wicked will continue to be wicked.^(I) None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.^(J)
