7. The man clothed in linen, who was upstream, lifted his hands to heaven; and I heard him swear by him who lives forever that it should be for a time, two times, and half a time; and that, when the power of the destroyer of the holy people was brought to an end, all these things should end.
8. I heard, but I did not understand; so I asked, “My lord, what follows this?”
9. “Go, Daniel,” he said, “because the words are to be kept secret and sealed until the end time.
10. Many shall be refined, purified, and tested, but the wicked shall prove wicked; the wicked shall have no understanding, but those with insight shall.
11. From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the desolating abomination is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12. Blessed are they who have patience and persevere for the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
13. Go, take your rest, you shall rise for your reward at the end of days.”
