| 4But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge." | 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. |

| 6One 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?" | 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? |
| 7The 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." | 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. |

| 11"From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. | 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. |
| 12Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days. | 12Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. |
| 13"As for you, go your way till the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance." | 13But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. |
