Daniel 12:7-9
New English Translation
7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen who was over the waters of the river as he raised both his right and left hands to the sky[a] and made an oath by the one who lives forever: “It is for a time, times, and half a time. Then, when the power of the one who shatters[b] the holy people has been exhausted, all these things will be finished.”
