| 3And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. | 3"Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. |
| 4But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. | 4"But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase." |

| 6And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? | 6And one said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "How long will it be until the end of these wonders?" |
| 7And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. | 7I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all these events will be completed. |

| 11And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. | 11"From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. |
| 12Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. | 12"How blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 1,335 days! |
| 13But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. | 13"But as for you, go your way to the end; then you will enter into rest and rise again for your allotted portion at the end of the age." |
