Daniel 9

9:1 In the first <G 0259> year <G 8141> of Darius <G 1867> the

son <G 1121> of Ahasuerus <G 0325>, of the seed <G 2233> of the

Medes <G 4074>, which <G 0834> was made king <G 4427> over <G

5921> the realm <G 4438> of the Chaldeans <G 3778>;

9:2 In the first <G 0259> year <G 8141> of his reign <G 4427> I

Daniel <G 1840> understood <G 0995> by books <G 5612> the number

<G 4557> of the years <G 8141>, whereof <G 0834> the word <G

1697> of the LORD <G 3068> came <G 1961> to Jeremiah <G 3414>

the prophet <G 5030>, that he would accomplish <G 4390> seventy

<G 7657> years <G 8141> in the desolations <G 2723> of Jerusalem

<G 3389>.

9:3 And I set <G 5414> my face <G 6440> unto the Lord <G 0136>

God <G 0430>, to seek <G 1245> by prayer <G 8605> and

supplications <G 8469>, with fasting <G 6685>, and sackcloth <G

8242>, and ashes <G 0665>:

9:4 And I prayed <G 6419> unto the LORD <G 3068> my God <G 0430>,

 and made my confession <G 3034>, and said <G 0559>, O Lord <G

0136>, the great <G 1419> and dreadful <G 3372> God <G 0410>,

keeping <G 8104> the covenant <G 1285> and mercy <G 2617> to

them that love <G 0157> him, and to them that keep <G 8104> his

commandments <G 4687>;

9:5 We have sinned <G 2398>, and have committed <G 5753>

iniquity <G 5753>, and have done wickedly <G 7561>, and have

rebelled <G 4775>, even by departing <G 5493> from thy precepts

<G 4687> and from thy judgments <G 4941>:

9:6 Neither <G 3808> have we hearkened <G 8085> unto thy

servants <G 5650> the prophets <G 5030>, which <G 0834> spake <G

1696> in thy name <G 8034> to our kings <G 4428>, our princes <G

8269>, and our fathers <G 1>, and to all <G 3605> the people <G

5971> of the land <G 0776>.

9:7 O Lord <G 0136>, righteousness <G 6666> [belongeth] unto

thee, but unto us confusion <G 1322> of faces <G 6440>, as at

this <G 2088> day <G 3117>; to the men <G 0376> of Judah <G

3063>, and to the inhabitants <G 3427> of Jerusalem <G 3389>,

and unto all <G 3605> Israel <G 3478>, [that are] near <G 7138>,

and [that are] far <G 7350> off, through all <G 3605> the

countries <G 0776> whither thou hast driven <G 5080> them,

because of their trespass <G 4604> that they have trespassed <G

4603> against thee.

9:8 O Lord <G 0136>, to us [belongeth] confusion <G 1322> of

face <G 6440>, to our kings <G 4428>, to our princes <G 8269>,

and to our fathers <G 1>, because <G 0834> we have sinned <G

2398> against thee.

9:9 To the Lord <G 0136> our God <G 0430> [belong] mercies <G

7356> and forgivenesses <G 5547>, though <G 3588> we have

rebelled <G 4775> against him;

9:10 Neither <G 3808> have we obeyed <G 8085> the voice <G 6963>

of the LORD <G 3068> our God <G 0430>, to walk <G 3212> in his

laws <G 8451>, which <G 0834> he set <G 5414> before <G 6440> us

by his servants <G 5650> the prophets <G 5030>.

9:11 Yea, all <G 3605> Israel <G 3478> have transgressed <G

5674> thy law <G 8451>, even by departing <G 5493>, that they

might not obey <G 8085> thy voice <G 6963>; therefore the curse

<G 0423> is poured <G 5413> upon us, and the oath <G 7621> that

[is] written <G 3789> in the law <G 8451> of Moses <G 4872> the

servant <G 5650> of God <G 0430>, because <G 3588> we have

sinned <G 2398> against him.

9:12 And he hath confirmed <G 6965> his words <G 1697>, which <G

0834> he spake <G 1696> against <G 5921> us, and against <G

5921> our judges <G 8199> that judged <G 8199> us, by bringing

<G 0935> upon us a great <G 1419> evil <G 7451>: for under <G

8478> the whole <G 3605> heaven <G 8064> hath not been done as

hath been done <G 6213> upon Jerusalem <G 3389>.

9:13 As [it is] written <G 3789> in the law <G 8451> of Moses <G

4872>, all <G 3605> this <G 2063> evil <G 7451> is come <G 0935>

upon us: yet made we not our prayer <G 2470> before the LORD <G

3068> our God <G 0430>, that we might turn <G 7725> from our

iniquities <G 5771>, and understand <G 7919> thy truth <G 0571>.

9:14 Therefore hath the LORD <G 3068> watched <G 8245> upon the

evil <G 7451>, and brought <G 0935> it upon us: for the LORD <G

3068> our God <G 0430> [is] righteous <G 6662> in all <G 3605>

his works <G 4639> which <G 0834> he doeth <G 6213>: for we

obeyed <G 8085> not his voice <G 6963>.

9:15 And now <G 6258>, O Lord <G 0136> our God <G 0430>, that

hast brought <G 3318> thy people <G 5971> forth <G 3318> out of

the land <G 0776> of Egypt <G 4714> with a mighty <G 2389> hand

<G 3027>, and hast gotten <G 6213> thee renown <G 8034>, as at

this day <G 3117>; we have sinned <G 2398>, we have done

wickedly <G 7561>.

9:16 O Lord <G 0136>, according to all <G 3605> thy

righteousness <G 6666>, I beseech <G 4994> thee, let thine anger

<G 0639> and thy fury <G 2534> be turned <G 7725> away from thy

city <G 5892> Jerusalem <G 3389>, thy holy <G 6944> mountain <G

2022>: because <G 3588> for our sins <G 2399>, and for the

iniquities <G 5771> of our fathers <G 1>, Jerusalem <G 3389> and

thy people <G 5971> [are become] a reproach <G 2781> to all <G

3605> [that are] about <G 5439> us.

9:17 Now <G 6258> therefore, O our God <G 0430>, hear <G 8085>

the prayer <G 8605> of thy servant <G 5650>, and his

supplications <G 8469>, and cause thy face <G 6440> to shine <G

0215> upon thy sanctuary <G 4720> that is desolate <G 8074>, for

the Lord's <G 0136> sake <G 4616>.

9:18 O my God <G 0430>, incline <G 5186> thine ear <G 0241>, and

hear <G 8085>; open <G 6491> thine eyes <G 5869>, and behold <G

7200> our desolations <G 8074>, and the city <G 5892> which <G

0834> is called <G 7121> by thy name <G 8034>: for we do not

present <G 5307> our supplications <G 8469> before <G 6440> thee

for our righteousnesses <G 6666>, but for thy great <G 7227>

mercies <G 7356>.

9:19 O Lord <G 0136>, hear <G 8085>; O Lord <G 0136>, forgive <G

5545>; O Lord <G 0136>, hearken <G 7181> and do <G 6213>; defer

<G 0309> not, for thine own sake <G 4616>, O my God <G 0430>:

for thy city <G 5892> and thy people <G 5971> are called <G

7121> by thy name <G 8034>.

9:20 And whiles <G 5750> I [was] speaking <G 1696>, and praying

<G 6419>, and confessing <G 3034> my sin <G 2403> and the sin <G

2403> of my people <G 5971> Israel <G 3478>, and presenting <G

5307> my supplication <G 8467> before <G 6440> the LORD <G 3068>

my God <G 0430> for the holy <G 6944> mountain <G 2022> of my

God <G 0430>;

9:21 Yea, whiles I [was] speaking <G 1696> in prayer <G 8605>,

even the man <G 0376> Gabriel <G 1403>, whom <G 0834> I had seen

<G 7200> in the vision <G 2377> at the beginning <G 8462>, being

caused to fly <G 3286> swiftly <G 3288>, touched <G 5060> me

about the time <G 6256> of the evening <G 6153> oblation <G

4503>.

9:22 And he informed <G 0995> [me], and talked <G 1696> with me,

and said <G 0559>, O Daniel <G 1840>, I am now <G 6258> come <G

3318> forth <G 3318> to give thee skill <G 7919> and

understanding <G 0998>.

9:23 At the beginning <G 8462> of thy supplications <G 8469> the

commandment <G 1697> came <G 3318> forth <G 3318>, and I am come

<G 0935> to shew <G 5046> [thee]; for thou [art] greatly beloved

<G 2530>: therefore understand <G 0995> the matter <G 1697>, and

consider <G 0995> the vision <G 2377>.

9:24 Seventy <G 7657> weeks <G 7620> are determined <G 2852>

upon thy people <G 5971> and upon thy holy <G 6944> city <G

5892>, to finish <G 3607> the transgression <G 6588>, and to

make an end <G 2856> of sins <G 2403>, and to make

reconciliation <G 3722> for iniquity <G 5771>, and to bring <G

0935> in everlasting <G 5769> righteousness <G 6664>, and to

seal <G 2856> up the vision <G 2377> and prophecy <G 5030>, and

to anoint <G 4886> the most <G 6944> Holy <G 6944>.

9:25 Know <G 3045> therefore and understand <G 7919>, [that]

from the going <G 4161> forth <G 4161> of the commandment <G

1697> to restore <G 7725> and to build <G 1129> Jerusalem <G

3389> unto the Messiah <G 4899> the Prince <G 5057> [shall be]

seven <G 7651> weeks <G 7620>, and threescore <G 8346> and two

<G 8147> weeks <G 7620>: the street <G 7339> shall be built <G

1129> again <G 7725>, and the wall <G 2742>, even in troublous

<G 5916> times <G 6256>.

9:26 And after <G 0310> threescore <G 8346> and two <G 8147>

weeks <G 7620> shall Messiah <G 4899> be cut <G 3772> off, but

not for himself: and the people <G 5971> of the prince <G 5057>

that shall come <G 0935> shall destroy <G 7843> the city <G

5892> and the sanctuary <G 6944>; and the end <G 7093> thereof

[shall be] with a flood <G 7858>, and unto the end <G 7093> of

the war <G 4421> desolations <G 8074> are determined <G 2782>.

9:27 And he shall confirm <G 1396> the covenant <G 1285> with

many <G 7227> for one <G 0259> week <G 7620>: and in the midst

<G 2677> of the week <G 7620> he shall cause the sacrifice <G

2077> and the oblation <G 4503> to cease <G 7673>, and for the

overspreading <G 3671> of abominations <G 8251> he shall make

[it] desolate <G 8074>, even until <G 5704> the consummation <G

3617>, and that determined <G 2782> shall be poured <G 5413>

upon the desolate <G 8076>.
