有一個問那站在河水以上、穿細麻衣的、說、這奇異的事、到幾時纔應驗呢。
我聽見那站在河水以上、穿細麻衣的、向天舉起左右手、指著活到永遠的主起誓、說、要到一載、二載、半載、打破聖民權力的時候、這一切事就都應驗了
我聽見這話、卻不明白、就說、我主阿、這些事的結局是怎樣呢。
他說、但以理阿、你只管去、因為這話已經隱藏封閉、直到末時。
必有許多人使自己清淨潔白、且被熬煉.但惡人仍必行惡、一切惡人都不明白、惟獨智慧人能明白。

One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?"
The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, "It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed."
I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, "My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?"
He replied, "Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.
Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.
