¹ H259 In the first H8141 year H1867 of Darius H1121 the son H325 of Ahasuerus H2233 , of the seed H4074 of the Medes H4427 , which was made king [H8717]   H4438 over the realm H3778 of the Chaldeans;

² H259 In the first H8141 year H4427 of his reign [H8800]   H1840 I Daniel H995 understood [H8804]   H5612 by books H4557 the number H8141 of the years H1697 , whereof the word H3068 of the LORD H3414 came to Jeremiah H5030 the prophet H4390 , that he would accomplish [H8763]   H7657 seventy H8141 years H2723 in the desolations H3389 of Jerusalem.

³ H5414 And I set [H8799]   H6440 my face H136 unto the Lord H430 God H1245 , to seek [H8763]   H8605 by prayer H8469 and supplications H6685 , with fasting H8242 , and sackcloth H665 , and ashes:

⁴ H6419 And I prayed [H8691]   H3068 unto the LORD H430 my God H3034 , and made my confession [H8691]   H559 , and said [H8799]   H577 , O H136 Lord H1419 , the great H3372 and dreadful [H8737]   H410 God H8104 , keeping [H8802]   H1285 the covenant H2617 and mercy H157 to them that love [H8802]   H8104 him, and to them that keep [H8802]   H4687 his commandments;

⁵ H2398 We have sinned [H8804]   H5753 , and have committed iniquity [H8804]   H7561 , and have done wickedly [H8689]   H4775 , and have rebelled [H8804]   H5493 , even by departing [H8800]   H4687 from thy precepts H4941 and from thy judgments:

⁶ H8085 Neither have we hearkened [H8804]   H5650 unto thy servants H5030 the prophets H1696 , which spake [H8765]   H8034 in thy name H4428 to our kings H8269 , our princes H1 , and our fathers H5971 , and to all the people H776 of the land.

⁷ H136 O Lord H6666 , righteousness H1322 belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion H6440 of faces H3117 , as at this day H376 ; to the men H3063 of Judah H3427 , and to the inhabitants [H8802]   H3389 of Jerusalem H3478 , and unto all Israel H7138 , that are near H7350 , and that are far off H776 , through all the countries H5080 whither thou hast driven [H8689]   H4604 them, because of their trespass H4603 that they have trespassed [H8804]   against thee.

⁸ H136 O Lord H1322 , to us belongeth confusion H6440 of face H4428 , to our kings H8269 , to our princes H1 , and to our fathers H2398 , because we have sinned [H8804]   against thee.

⁹ H136 To the Lord H430 our God H7356 belong mercies H5547 and forgivenesses H4775 , though we have rebelled [H8804]   against him;

¹⁰ H8085 Neither have we obeyed [H8804]   H6963 the voice H3068 of the LORD H430 our God H3212 , to walk [H8800]   H8451 in his laws H5414 , which he set [H8804]   H6440 before H3027 us by H5650 his servants H5030 the prophets.

¹¹ H3478 Yea, all Israel H5674 have transgressed [H8804]   H8451 thy law H5493 , even by departing [H8800]   H8085 , that they might not obey [H8800]   H6963 thy voice H423 ; therefore the curse H5413 is poured [H8799]   H7621 upon us, and the oath H3789 that is written [H8803]   H8451 in the law H4872 of Moses H5650 the servant H430 of God H2398 , because we have sinned [H8804]   against him.

¹² H6965 And he hath confirmed [H8686]   H1697 his words H1696 , which he spake [H8765]   H8199 against us, and against our judges [H8802]   H8199 that judged [H8804]   H935 us, by bringing [H8687]   H1419 upon us a great H7451 evil H8064 : for under the whole heaven H6213 hath not been done [H8738]   H6213 as hath been done [H8738]   H3389 upon Jerusalem.

¹³ H3789 As it is written [H8803]   H8451 in the law H4872 of Moses H7451 , all this evil H935 is come [H8804]   H2470 upon us: yet made we not our prayer [H8765]   H6440 before H3068 the LORD H430 our God H7725 , that we might turn [H8800]   H5771 from our iniquities H7919 , and understand [H8687]   H571 thy truth.

¹⁴ H3068 Therefore hath the LORD H8245 watched [H8799]   H7451 upon the evil H935 , and brought [H8686]   H3068 it upon us: for the LORD H430 our God H6662 is righteous H4639 in all his works H6213 which he doeth [H8804]   H8085 : for we obeyed [H8804]   H6963 not his voice.

¹⁵ H136 And now, O Lord H430 our God H3318 , that hast brought H5971 thy people H3318 forth [H8689]   H776 out of the land H4714 of Egypt H2389 with a mighty H3027 hand H6213 , and hast gotten [H8799]   H8034 thee renown H3117 , as at this day H2398 ; we have sinned [H8804]   H7561 , we have done wickedly [H8804]  .

¹⁶ H136 O Lord H6666 , according to all thy righteousness H639 , I beseech thee, let thine anger H2534 and thy fury H7725 be turned away [H8799]   H5892 from thy city H3389 Jerusalem H6944 , thy holy H2022 mountain H2399 : because for our sins H5771 , and for the iniquities H1 of our fathers H3389 , Jerusalem H5971 and thy people H2781 are become a reproach H5439 to all that are about us.

¹⁷ H430 Now therefore, O our God H8085 , hear [H8798]   H8605 the prayer H5650 of thy servant H8469 , and his supplications H6440 , and cause thy face H215 to shine [H8685]   H4720 upon thy sanctuary H8076 that is desolate H136 , for the Lord's sake.

¹⁸ H430 O my God H5186 , incline [H8685]   H241 thine ear H8085 , and hear [H8798]   H6491 ; open [H8798]   H5869 thine eyes H7200 , and behold [H8798]   H8074 our desolations [H8802]   H5892 , and the city H7121 which is called [H8738]   H8034 by thy name H5307 : for we do not present [H8688]   H8469 our supplications H6440 before H6666 thee for our righteousnesses H7227 , but for thy great H7356 mercies.

¹⁹ H136 O Lord H8085 , hear [H8798]   H136 ; O Lord H5545 , forgive [H8798]   H136 ; O Lord H7181 , hearken [H8685]   H6213 and do [H8798]   H309 ; defer [H8762]   H408 not H430 , for thine own sake, O my God H5892 : for thy city H5971 and thy people H7121 are called [H8738]   H8034 by thy name.

²⁰ H1696 And whiles I was speaking [H8764]   H6419 , and praying [H8693]   H3034 , and confessing [H8693]   H2403 my sin H2403 and the sin H5971 of my people H3478 Israel H5307 , and presenting [H8688]   H8467 my supplication H6440 before H3068 the LORD H430 my God H6944 for the holy H2022 mountain H430 of my God;

²¹ H1696 Yea, whiles I was speaking [H8764]   H8605 in prayer H376 , even the man H1403 Gabriel H7200 , whom I had seen [H8804]   H2377 in the vision H8462 at the beginning H3286 , being caused to fly [H8716]   H3288 swiftly H5060 , touched [H8802]   H6256 me about the time H6153 of the evening H4503 oblation.

²² H995 And he informed [H8799]   H1696 me, and talked [H8762]   H559 with me, and said [H8799]   H1840 , O Daniel H3318 , I am now come forth [H8804]   H7919 to give thee skill [H8687]   H998 and understanding.

²³ H8462 At the beginning H8469 of thy supplications H1697 the commandment H3318 came forth [H8804]   H935 , and I am come [H8804]   H5046 to shew [H8687]   H2532 thee; for thou art greatly beloved H995 : therefore understand [H8798]   H1697 the matter H995 , and consider [H8685]   H4758 the vision.

²⁴ H7657 Seventy H7620 weeks H2852 are determined [H8738]   H5971 upon thy people H6944 and upon thy holy H5892 city H3607 , to finish [H8763]   H6588 the transgression H8552 , and to make an end [H8687]   [H8675]   H2856   [H8800]   H2403 of sins H3722 , and to make reconciliation [H8763]   H5771 for iniquity H935 , and to bring in [H8687]   H5769 everlasting H6664 righteousness H2856 , and to seal up [H8800]   H2377 the vision H5030 and prophecy H4886 , and to anoint [H8800]   H6944 the most H6944 Holy.

²⁵ H3045 Know [H8799]   H7919 therefore and understand [H8686]   H4161 , that from the going forth H1697 of the commandment H7725 to restore [H8687]   H1129 and to build [H8800]   H3389 Jerusalem H4899 unto the Messiah H5057 the Prince H7651 shall be seven H7620 weeks H8346 , and threescore H8147 and two H7620 weeks H7339 : the street H1129 shall be built [H8738]   H7725 again [H8799]   H2742 , and the wall H6695 , even in troublous H6256 times.

²⁶ H310 And after H8346 threescore H8147 and two H7620 weeks H4899 shall Messiah H3772 be cut off [H8735]   H5971 , but not for himself: and the people H5057 of the prince H935 that shall come [H8802]   H7843 shall destroy [H8686]   H5892 the city H6944 and the sanctuary H7093 ; and the end H7858 thereof shall be with a flood H7093 , and unto the end H4421 of the war H8074 desolations [H8802]   H2782 are determined [H8737]  .

²⁷ H1396 And he shall confirm [H8689]   H1285 the covenant H7227 with many H259 for one H7620 week H2677 : and in the midst H7620 of the week H2077 he shall cause the sacrifice H4503 and the oblation H7673 to cease [H8686]   H3671 , and for the overspreading H8251 of abominations H8074 he shall make it desolate [H8789]   H3617 , even until the consummation H2782 , and that determined [H8737]   H5413 shall be poured [H8799]   H8074 upon the desolate [H8802]  .
