7. And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river; and he held up his right hand and his left hand unto the heavens, and swore by him that liveth for ever that it is for a time, times, and a half; and when the scattering of the power of the holy people shall be accomplished, all these things shall be finished.
8. And I heard, but I understood not. And I said, My lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9. And he said, Go thy way, Daniel; for these words are closed and sealed till the time of the end.
