Daniel 9:23-25
Christian Standard Bible
23 At the beginning of your petitions an answer went out, and I have come to give it, for you are treasured by God.[a](A) So consider the message and understand the vision:(B)
24 Seventy weeks are decreed(C)
about your people and your holy city—
to bring the rebellion to an end,
to put a stop to sin,
to atone for iniquity,
to bring in everlasting righteousness,(D)
to seal up vision and prophecy,
and to anoint the most holy place.
25 Know and understand this:
From the issuing of the decree
to restore and rebuild Jerusalem(E)
until an Anointed One,(F) the ruler,[b]
will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks.
It will be rebuilt with a plaza and a moat,
but in difficult times.
