5 And I, Daniel, looked, and behold, similarly two others stood up, one over here, on the bank of the river, and the other over there, on the other bank of the river.
6 And I said to the man, who was clothed in linen, who stood over the waters of the river, "How long will it be until the end of these wonders?"
7 And I heard the man, who was clothed in linen, who stood over the waters of the river, when he had lifted his right hand and his left hand up to heaven, and had sworn by He who lives forever, that it would be for a time, and times, and half a time. And when the dispersion of the hand of the holy people is completed, all these things will be completed.
8 And I heard and did not understand. And I said, "My lord, what will be after these things?"
9 And he said, "Go, Daniel, for the words are closed and sealed until the predetermined time.
10 Many will be chosen and purified, and, as if by fire, they will be tested, and the impious will act impiously, and none of the impious will understand, yet the teachers will understand.
