Daniel 12:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶And I said to the man that was clothed in linen, that stood upon the waters of the river: How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?

⁷And I heard the man that was clothed in linen, that stood upon the waters of the river: when he had lifted up his right hand, and his left hand to heaven, and had sworn, by him that liveth for ever, that it should be unto a time, and times, and half a time. And when the scattering of the band of the holy people shall be accomplished, all these things shall be finished.

⁸And I heard, and understood not. And I said: O my lord, what shall be after these things?
