24 “Seventy weeks¹ are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place.² 25 Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an ^danointed one, a ^eprince, there shall be seven weeks. And for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again³ with squares and moat, but in a troubled time. 26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its⁴ end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed. 27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week,⁵ and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come ^fone who makes desolate, until the ^gdecreed end is poured out on the desolator.”
