"Seventy ^(F1)(C1)weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to ^(F2)finish the wrongdoing, to ^(F3)make an end of sin, to ^(C2)make atonement for guilt, to bring in ^(C3)everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and ^(F4)prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.

"So you are to know and understand that from the issuing of a ^(F1)(C1)decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, until ^(F2)(C2)Messiah the ^(C3)Prince, there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with ^(F3)streets and moat, even in times of distress.

"Then after the sixty-two weeks, the ^(F1)Messiah will be ^(C1)cut off and have ^(F2)nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will ^(C2)destroy the city and the sanctuary. And ^(F3)its end will come with a ^(C3)flood; even to the end ^(F4)there will be war; desolations are determined.

"And he will confirm a covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of ^(F1)(C1)abominations will come the one who ^(F2)makes desolate, until a ^(C2)complete destruction, one that is ^(F3)decreed, gushes forth on the one who ^(F2)makes desolate."
