24 “Seventy weeks[a] are decreed concerning your people and your holy city,
to put an end to transgression
to bring sin to an end,
to atone for iniquity,
to bring in everlasting righteousness,
to seal up vision and prophecy,
and to anoint the Holy of Holies.

It will be rebuilt, with plaza and moat, but it will be in times of distress.
