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.
²⁷ “During the space of one week
    he will make a firm alliance with many people,
and for the space of half a week
    he will put a stop to sacrifice and oblation.
And on the temple wing
    will be the terrible abomination
until the end that has been decreed
    is poured out upon the desolate city.”
