25. Know and understand this:From the issuing of the decreeto restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince will be seven weeks and 62 weeks. It will be rebuilt with a plaza and a moat,but in difficult times.
26. After those 62 weeks the Messiah will be cut off and will have nothing.The people of the coming princewill destroy the city and the sanctuary.The end will come with a flood, and until the end there will be war;desolations are decreed.
27. He will make a firm covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the weekhe will put a stop to sacrifice and offering.And the abomination of desolation will be on a wing of the temple until the decreed destruction is poured out on the desolator.”
