3 And those that understand shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and those that teach righteousness to the multitude as the stars in perpetual eternity.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end: many shall pass by, and knowledge shall be multiplied.
5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, another two who stood, one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
6 And one said to the Man clothed in linens, who was upon the waters of the river, When shall be the end of these wonders?
7 And I heard the Man clothed in linens, who was upon the waters of the river, who raised his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by the living one in the ages that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when the scattering of the power of the holy people shall be finished, all these things shall be fulfilled.
8 And I heard, but I did not understand; then I said, O my Lord, what is the fulfillment of these things?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel, for these words are closed up and sealed until the time of the fulfillment.
