( BU) 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. The end will come like a flood: ( BS) War will continue until the end, and desolations ( BT) have been decreed. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. ( BQ) 26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death ( BR) and will have nothing. Ģ5 “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild ( BN) Jerusalem until the Anointed One, ( BO) the ruler, ( BP) comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. ( BI) Therefore, consider the word and understand the vision: ( BJ)Ģ4 “Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city ( BK) to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone ( BL) for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, ( BM) to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place. ( BG) 23 As soon as you began to pray, ( BH) a word went out, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed. ( BF) 22 He instructed me and said to me, “Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and understanding. ( AZ) 19 Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! ( BA) Lord, hear and act! For your sake, ( BB) my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name.” The Seventy “Sevens”Ģ0 While I was speaking and praying, confessing ( BC) my sin and the sin of my people Israel and making my request to the Lord my God for his holy hill ( BD)- 21 while I was still in prayer, Gabriel, ( BE) the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice. ( AY) We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. 18 Give ear, ( AV) our God, and hear ( AW) open your eyes and see ( AX) the desolation of the city that bears your Name. For your sake, Lord, look with favor ( AU) on your desolate sanctuary. ( AS) Our sins and the iniquities of our ancestors have made Jerusalem and your people an object of scorn ( AT) to all those around us.ġ7 “Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your servant. 16 Lord, in keeping with all your righteous acts, ( AO) turn away ( AP) your anger and your wrath ( AQ) from Jerusalem, ( AR) your city, your holy hill. ( AL)ġ5 “Now, Lord our God, who brought your people out of Egypt with a mighty hand ( AM) and who made for yourself a name ( AN) that endures to this day, we have sinned, we have done wrong. ( AI) 14 The Lord did not hesitate to bring the disaster ( AJ) on us, for the Lord our God is righteous in everything he does ( AK) yet we have not obeyed him. ( AG) 13 Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come on us, yet we have not sought the favor of the Lord ( AH) our God by turning from our sins and giving attention to your truth. ( AE) Under the whole heaven nothing has ever been done like ( AF) what has been done to Jerusalem. 12 You have fulfilled ( AD) the words spoken against us and against our rulers by bringing on us great disaster. “Therefore the curses ( AA) and sworn judgments ( AB) written in the Law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured out on us, because we have sinned ( AC) against you. ( X) 11 All Israel has transgressed ( Y) your law ( Z) and turned away, refusing to obey you. ( U) 9 The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, ( V) even though we have rebelled against him ( W) 10 we have not obeyed the Lord our God or kept the laws he gave us through his servants the prophets. ( T) 8 We and our kings, our princes and our ancestors are covered with shame, Lord, because we have sinned against you. ( L) 6 We have not listened ( M) to your servants the prophets, ( N) who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our ancestors, ( O) and to all the people of the land.ħ “Lord, you are righteous, ( P) but this day we are covered with shame ( Q)-the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far, in all the countries where you have scattered ( R) us because of our unfaithfulness ( S) to you. ( J) We have been wicked and have rebelled we have turned away ( K) from your commands and laws.
“Lord, the great and awesome God, ( G) who keeps his covenant of love ( H) with those who love him and keep his commandments, 5 we have sinned ( I) and done wrong.
