New International Version NIV
1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who is for the sons of thy people, and it shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there were people until now, but in that time thy people shall escape, all those that are found written in the book.

6
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?”
7 And I heard the Man clothed in linens, who <em>was</em> upon the waters of the river, who raised his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by the living one in the ages that <em>it shall be</em> for <em>a</em> time, times, and a half; and when the scattering of the power of the holy people shall be finished, all these <em>things</em> shall be fulfilled.

8
I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?”
