If I understand the syntax right you have to add an
"done" at line 6
cut from man bash:
for name [ in word ] ; do list ; done
              The list of words following in is expanded, generating a 
list of
              items.  The variable name is set to each element of this 
list in
              turn, and list is executed each time.  If the in word  is  
omit-
              ted,  the  for  command  executes  list once for each 
positional
              parameter that is set (see PARAMETERS below).  The return 
status
              is  the  exit  status of the last command that executes.  
If the
              expansion of the items following in results in an empty 
list, no
              commands are executed, and the return status is 0.
