Daniel 12:6-7

Context
12:6 One said to the man clothed in linen who was above the waters of the river, “When will the end of these wondrous events occur?” 12:7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen who was over the waters of the river as he raised both his right and left hands to the sky 1  and made an oath by the one who lives forever: “It is for a time, times, and half a time. Then, when the power of the one who shatters 2  the holy people has been exhausted, all these things will be finished.”

Ezekiel 9:2

Context
9:2 Next, I noticed 3  six men 4  coming from the direction of the upper gate 5  which faces north, each with his war club in his hand. Among them was a man dressed in linen with a writing kit 6  at his side. They came and stood beside the bronze altar.
