9:24 “Seventy weeks 1 have been determined
concerning your people and your holy city
to put an end to 2 rebellion,
to bring sin 3 to completion, 4
to atone for iniquity,
to bring in perpetual 5 righteousness,
to seal up 6 the prophetic vision, 7
and to anoint a most holy place. 8
9:25 So know and understand:
From the issuing of the command 9 to restore and rebuild
Jerusalem 10 until an anointed one, a prince arrives, 11
there will be a period of seven weeks 12 and sixty-two weeks.
It will again be built, 13 with plaza and moat,
but in distressful times.
9:26 Now after the sixty-two weeks,
an anointed one will be cut off and have nothing. 14
As for the city and the sanctuary,
the people of the coming prince will destroy 15 them.
But his end will come speedily 16 like a flood. 17
Until the end of the war that has been decreed
there will be destruction.
9:27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one week. 18
But in the middle of that week
he will bring sacrifices and offerings to a halt.
On the wing 19 of abominations will come 20 one who destroys,
until the decreed end is poured out on the one who destroys.”
