3 And kthey that be ||wise lshall shine as mthe brightness of the firmament; and nthey that turn many to righteousness oas the stars for ever and ever. 4 But thou, O Daniel, pqshut up the words, and prseal the book, even to psthe time of the end: many shall trun to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the †bank of the river, and the other on that side of the †bank of uthe river. 6 And one said to vthe man clothed in linen, which was ||wupon the waters of the river, xHow long shall it be to the end of these wonders? 7 And I heard vthe man clothed in linen, which was wupon the waters of the river, when he yheld up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and zsware by him athat liveth for ever zbthat it shall be for ca time, times, and ||an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of dthe holy people, all these things shall be finished. 8 And I heard, but eI understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? 9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for fthe words are closed up and sealed ftill the time of the end. 10 Many gshall be purified, and gmade white, and gtried; but hthe wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but ithe wise shall understand.
