ASV_Strong : Daniel 9
1. In the first[H259] year[H8141] of Darius[H1867] the son[H1121] of Ahasuerus[H325], of the seed[H2233] of the Medes[H4074], who was made king[H4427] over the realm[H4438] of the Chaldeans[H3778],
2. in the first[H259] year[H8141] of his reign[H4427] I[H1840], Daniel, understood[H995] by the books[H5612] the number[H4557] of the years[H8141] whereof the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came to Jeremiah[H3414] the prophet[H5030], for the accomplishing[H4390] of the desolations[H2723] of Jerusalem[H3389], even seventy[H7657] years[H8141].
3. And I set[H5414] my face[H6440] unto the Lord[H136] God[H430], to seek[H1245] by prayer[H8605] and supplications[H8469], with fasting[H6685] and sackcloth[H8242] and ashes[H665].
4. And I prayed[H6419] unto Jehovah[H3068] my God[H430], and made confession[H3034], and said[H559], Oh[H577], Lord[H136], the great[H1419] and dreadful[H3372] God[H410], who keepeth[H8104] covenant[H1285] and lovingkindness[H2617] with them that love[H157] him and keep[H8104] his commandments[H4687],
5. we have sinned[H2398], and have dealt perversely[H5753], and have done wickedly[H7561], and have rebelled[H4775], even turning aside[H5493] from thy precepts[H4687] and from thine ordinances[H4941];
6. neither have we hearkened[H8085] unto thy servants[H5650] the prophets[H5030], that spake[H1696] in thy name[H8034] to our kings[H4428], our princes[H8269], and our fathers[H1], and to all the people[H5971] of the land[H776].
7. O Lord[H136], righteousness[H6666] belongeth unto thee[H1322], but unto us confusion of face[H6440], as at this day[H3117]; to the men[H376] of Judah[H3063], and to the inhabitants[H3427] of Jerusalem[H3389], and unto all Israel[H3478], that are near[H7138], and that are far off[H7350], through all the countries[H776] whither thou hast driven[H5080] them[H4604], because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee[H4603].
8. O Lord[H136], to us belongeth confusion[H1322] of face[H6440], to our kings[H4428], to our princes[H8269], and to our fathers[H1], because we have sinned against thee[H2398].
9. To the Lord[H136] our God[H430] belong mercies[H7356] and forgiveness[H5547]; for we have rebelled against him[H4775];
10. neither have we obeyed[H8085] the voice[H6963] of Jehovah[H3068] our God[H430], to walk[H3212] in his laws[H8451], which he set[H5414] before[H6440] us by[H3027] his servants[H5650] the prophets[H5030].
11. Yea[H3478], all Israel have transgressed[H5674] thy law[H8451], even turning aside[H5493], that they should not obey[H8085] thy voice[H6963]: therefore hath the curse[H423] been poured[H5413] out upon us[H7621], and the oath that is written[H3789] in the law[H8451] of Moses[H4872] the servant[H5650] of God[H430]; for we have sinned against him[H2398].
12. And he hath confirmed[H6965] his words[H1697], which he spake[H1696] against us[H8199], and against our judges that judged[H8199] us[H935], by bringing upon us a great[H1419] evil[H7451]; for under the whole heaven[H8064] hath not been done[H6213] as hath been done[H6213] upon Jerusalem[H3389].
13. As it is written[H3789] in the law[H8451] of Moses[H4872], all this evil[H7451] is come[H935] upon us[H2470]: yet have we not entreated the favor[H6440] of Jehovah[H3068] our God[H430], that we should turn[H7725] from our iniquities[H5771], and have discernment[H7919] in thy truth[H571].
14. Therefore hath Jehovah[H3068] watched[H8245] over the evil[H7451], and brought[H935] it upon us[H3068]; for Jehovah our God[H430] is righteous[H6662] in all his works[H4639] which he doeth[H6213], and we have not obeyed[H8085] his voice[H6963].
15. And now[H136], O Lord our God[H430], that hast brought[H3318] thy people[H5971] forth[H3318] out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714] with a mighty[H2389] hand[H3027], and hast gotten[H6213] thee renown[H8034], as at this day[H3117]; we have sinned[H2398], we have done wickedly[H7561].
16. O Lord[H136], according to all thy righteousness[H6666], let thine anger[H639] and thy wrath[H2534], I pray thee[H7725], be turned away from thy city[H5892] Jerusalem[H3389], thy holy[H6944] mountain[H2022]; because for our sins[H2399], and for the iniquities[H5771] of our fathers[H1], Jerusalem[H3389] and thy people[H5971] are become a reproach[H2781] to all that are round about us[H5439].
17. Now therefore[H430], O our God, hearken[H8085] unto the prayer[H8605] of thy servant[H5650], and to his supplications[H8469], and cause thy face[H6440] to shine[H215] upon thy sanctuary[H4720] that is desolate[H8076], for the Lord[H136]'s sake.
18. O my God[H430], incline[H5186] thine ear[H241], and hear[H8085]; open[H6491] thine eyes[H5869], and behold[H7200] our desolations[H8074], and the city[H5892] which is called[H7121] by thy name[H8034]: for we do not present[H5307] our supplications[H8469] before[H6440] thee for our righteousness[H6666], but for thy great[H7227] mercies[H7356]' sake.
19. O Lord[H136], hear[H8085]; O Lord[H136], forgive[H5545]; O Lord[H136], hearken[H7181] and do[H6213]; defer[H309] not[H408], for thine own sake[H430], O my God, because thy city[H5892] and thy people[H5971] are called[H7121] by thy name[H8034].
20. And while I was speaking[H1696], and praying[H6419], and confessing[H3034] my sin[H2403] and the sin[H2403] of my people[H5971] Israel[H3478], and presenting[H5307] my supplication[H8467] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068] my God[H430] for the holy[H6944] mountain[H2022] of my God[H430];
21. yea[H1696], while I was speaking in prayer[H8605], the man[H376] Gabriel[H1403], whom I had seen[H7200] in the vision[H2377] at the beginning[H8462], being caused to fly[H3286] swiftly[H3288], touched[H5060] me about the time[H6256] of the evening[H6153] oblation[H4503].
22. And he instructed[H995] me[H1696], and talked with me[H559], and said, O Daniel[H1840], I am now come forth[H3318] to give thee wisdom[H7919] and understanding[H998].
23. At the beginning[H8462] of thy supplications[H8469] the commandment[H1697] went forth[H3318], and I am come[H935] to tell[H5046] thee[H2532]; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore consider[H995] the matter[H1697], and understand[H995] the vision[H4758].
24. Seventy[H7657] weeks[H7620] are decreed[H2852] upon thy people[H5971] and upon thy holy[H6944] city[H5892], to finish[H3607] transgression[H6588], and to make an end[H8552] of sins[H2403], and to make reconciliation[H3722] for iniquity[H5771], and to bring in[H935] everlasting[H5769] righteousness[H6664], and to seal up[H2856] vision[H2377] and prophecy[H5030], and to anoint[H4886] the most[H6944] holy[H6944].
25. Know[H3045] therefore and discern[H7919], that from the going forth[H4161] of the commandment[H1697] to restore[H7725] and to build[H1129] Jerusalem[H3389] unto the anointed[H4899] one[H5057], the prince, shall be seven[H7651] weeks[H7620], and threescore[H8346] and two[H8147] weeks[H7620]: it shall be built[H1129] again[H7725], with street[H7339] and moat[H2742], even in troublous[H6695] times[H6256].
26. And after[H310] the threescore[H8346] and two[H8147] weeks[H7620] shall the anointed[H4899] one be cut off[H3772], and shall have nothing[H5971]: and the people of the prince[H5057] that shall come[H935] shall destroy[H7843] the city[H5892] and the sanctuary[H6944]; and the end[H7093] thereof shall be with a flood[H7858], and even unto the end[H7093] shall be war[H4421]; desolations[H8074] are determined[H2782].
27. And he shall make a firm[H1396] covenant[H1285] with many[H7227] for one[H259] week[H7620]: and in the midst[H2677] of the week[H7620] he shall cause the sacrifice[H2077] and the oblation[H4503] to cease[H7673]; and upon the wing[H3671] of abominations[H8251] shall come one that maketh desolate[H8074]; and even unto the full end[H3617], and that determined[H2782], shall wrath be poured[H5413] out upon the desolate[H8074].
