Daniel 9:20-27
20Now whileH5750 I was 1speakingH1696 and prayingH6419, and 2confessingH3034 my sinH2403 and the sinH2403 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and 3presentingH5307 my supplicationH8467 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 my GodH430 in behalfH5921 of the holyH6944 mountainH2022 of my GodH430, 21whileH5750 I was stillH5750 speakingH1696 in prayerH8605, then the manH376 4GabrielH1403, whomH834 I had seenH7200 in the visionH2377 5previouslyH8462, 6cameH5060 to me 7in my extremeH3286 wearinessH3288 about the timeH6256 of the 8eveningH6153 offeringH4503. 22He gaveH995 me instructionH995 and talkedH1696 with me and saidH559, “O DanielH1840, I have nowH6258 comeH3318 forthH3318 to giveH7919 you insightH7919 with 9understandingH998. 23At the 10beginningH8462 of your supplicationsH8469 the 11commandH1697 was issuedH3318, and I have comeH935 to tellH5046 you, for you are 1213highlyH2536 esteemedH2536; so giveH995 heedH995 to the messageH1697 and gainH995 14understandingH995 of the visionH4758.
24“SeventyH7657 1516weeksH7620 have been decreedH2852 for your peopleH5971 and your holyH6944 cityH5892, to 17finishH3615 the transgressionH6588, to 18makeH8552 an endH8552 of sinH2403, to 19makeH3722 atonementH3722 for iniquityH5771, to bringH935 in 20everlastingH5769 righteousnessH6664, to sealH2856 up visionH2377 and 21prophecyH5030 and to anointH4886 the mostH6944 holyH6944 place. 25So you are to knowH3045 and discernH7919 that from the issuingH4161 of a 2223decreeH1697 to restoreH7725 and rebuildH1129 JerusalemH3389 untilH5704 2425MessiahH4899 the 26PrinceH5057 there will be sevenH7655 weeksH7620 and sixty-twoH8346H8147 weeksH7620; it will be builtH1129 againH7725, with 27plazaH7339 and moatH2742, even in timesH6256 of distressH6695. 26Then afterH310 the sixty-twoH8346H8147 weeksH7620 the 28MessiahH4899 will be 29cutH3772 offH3772 and haveH369 30nothingH369, and the peopleH5971 of the princeH5057 who is to comeH935 will 31destroyH7843 the cityH5892 and the sanctuaryH6944. And 32its endH7093 will come with a 33floodH7858; even to the endH7093 34there will be warH4421; desolationsH8074 are determinedH2782. 27And he will makeH1396 a firmH1396 covenantH1285 with the manyH7227 for oneH259 weekH7620, but in the middleH2677 of the weekH7620 he will putH7673 a stopH7673 to sacrificeH2077 and grain offeringH4503; and on the wingH3671 of 3536abominationsH8251 will come one who 37makesH8074 desolateH8074, even untilH5704 a 38completeH3617 destructionH3617, one that is decreedH2782, is pouredH5413 out on the one who 39makesH8074 desolateH8074.”
