24 Seventy weeks[a] are decreed(A)
about your people and your holy city—
to bring the rebellion to an end,
to put a stop to sin,
to wipe away iniquity,
to bring in everlasting righteousness,(B)
to seal up vision and prophecy,
and to anoint the most holy place.
25 Know and understand this:
From the issuing of the decree
to restore and rebuild Jerusalem(C)
until Messiah(D) the Prince[b]
will be seven weeks and 62 weeks.[c]
It will be rebuilt with a plaza and a moat,
but in difficult times.
26 After those 62 weeks[d]
the Messiah will be cut off(E)
and will have nothing.
The people of the coming prince
will destroy the city(F) and the sanctuary.
The[e] end will come with a flood,(G)
and until the end there will be[f] war;
desolations are decreed.
