LEB(i)
15 "And now, Lord our God, who have brought your people out from the land of Egypt with a strong hand, and you have made for yourself a name until this day—we have sinned, we have acted wickedly.
16 Lord, according to all your righteousness, please let your anger and your rage turn away from your city Jerusalem, ⌊your holy mountain⌋,* because through our sins and through the iniquities of our ancestors* Jerusalem and your people have become an object of mockery among all of our neighbors.
17 "And now, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his pleas for mercy. Shine* your face upon your desolate sanctuary ⌊for your sake, O Lord⌋.*
18 Incline your ear, my God, and listen; open your eyes and look at our desolation and the city that is called by your name, for we are not presenting our pleas for mercy ⌊before you⌋* because of our righteousness, but rather because of your great compassion.
19 Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, pay heed and act! You must not delay ⌊for your sake⌋,* my God; because ⌊your city and your people are called by your name⌋."*
20 Now I was still speaking and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my plea ⌊before⌋* Yahweh my God, on behalf ⌊of the holy mountain of my God⌋.*
21 And I was still speaking in prayer, and the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision ⌊previously⌋,* ⌊in my weariness touched me⌋* at the time of the evening offering.
22 And he instructed me and he spoke with me and he said, "Daniel I have now come out* to teach you understanding.
23 At the beginning of your pleas for mercy, a word went out, and now I have come to declare* it, for you are highly esteemed, and so consider the word and understand the vision.
24 "Seventy weeks is decreed for your people and ⌊for your holy city⌋,* to put an end to the transgression and to seal up sin* and to make atonement for guilt and to bring in everlasting righteousness and to seal vision and prophet and to anoint ⌊the most holy place⌋.*
25 And you must know and you must understand* that from the time of the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem until an anointed* one—a leader—will be ⌊seven weeks and sixty-two weeks⌋;* it will be restored and will be built with streets and a moat, but ⌊in a time of oppression⌋.*
26 "And after the sixty and two weeks an anointed one* shall be cut off, and ⌊he shall have nothing⌋,* and the people of the coming leader will destroy the city and the sanctuary,* and its end will be with the flood and on to the end there shall be war; these desolations are determined.
27 And he will make a strong covenant with the many for one week, but in half of the week he will let cease sacrifice and offering ⌊and in its place⌋* a desolating abomination comes even until ⌊the determined complete destruction⌋* is poured out on the desolator."
