²² Now therefore, do not be mockers,
Lest your bonds be made strong;
For I have heard from the Lord God of hosts,
^(A)A ^[a]destruction determined even upon the whole earth.

²⁷ Then he shall confirm ^(A)a ^[a]covenant with ^(B)many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
^(C)Even until the consummation, which is determined,
Is poured out on the ^[b]desolate.”

²⁸ For ^[a]He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness,
^(A)Because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
