Daniel 9:22-24

New Life Version

²² He talked to me and told me things, saying, “O Daniel, I have now come to give you wisdom and understanding. ²³ As soon as you began to pray, an answer was given, which I have come to tell you. For you are loved very much. So listen to what I say and understand the special dream.

²⁴ “Seventy weeks are given for your people and your holy city to finish the wrong-doing and put an end to sin. By the end of this time, you must pay for your sins and follow what is right and good forever. You must finish what was shown in the special dream and what has been spoken in My name, and set apart the most holy place.
