²⁴ “Seventy weeks are decreed
    for your people and your holy city:
for bringing an end to transgression,
    for putting an end to sin,
for expiating iniquity,
    for introducing everlasting righteousness,
for ratifying vision and prophecy,
    and for anointing the Holy of Holies.
²⁵ “Know therefore, and understand this:
    From the time that the message was sent:
    ‘Return and rebuild Jerusalem,’
until the coming of an anointed prince,
    there shall be seven weeks.
During sixty-two weeks
    it shall be rebuilt and restored
with streets and trenches
    in a troubled time.
²⁶ “After the sixty-two weeks
    an anointed one will be cut off
    and have nothing.
And the troops of a leader who is to come
    will destroy the city and the sanctuary.
Then the end will come like a torrent,
    and until the end there will be war,
    the devastation that has been decreed.
