Book 27 : DANIEL - Chapter 009
009:001
In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books
the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to
Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years
in the desolations of Jerusalem
009:002
And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and
supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes
009:003
And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and
said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant
and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his
commandments
009:004
We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done
wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy
precepts and from thy judgments
009:005
Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets,
which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our
fathers, and to all the people of the land
009:006
O LORD, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us
confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and
to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are
near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither
thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they
have trespassed against thee
009:007
O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to
our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned
against thee
009:008
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though
we have rebelled against him
009:009
Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk
in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the
prophets
009:010
Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing,
that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is
poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of
Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him
009:011
And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us,
and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a
great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as
hath been done upon Jerusalem
009:012
As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come
upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God,
that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy
truth
009:013
Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it
upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works
which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice
009:014
And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth
out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten
thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done
wickedly
009:015
O LORD, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee,
let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city
Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for
the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are
become a reproach to all that are about us
009:016
Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and
his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy
sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake
009:017
O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and
behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy
name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for
our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies
009:018
O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer
not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people
are called by thy name
009:019
And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin
and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my
supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of
my God
009:020
Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel,
whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused
to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening
oblation
009:021
And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I
am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding
009:022
At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came
forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly
beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the
vision
009:023
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy
city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins,
and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in
everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and
prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy
009:024
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of
the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the
Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and
two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even
in troublous times
009:025
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off,
but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall
come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end
thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war
desolations are determined
009:026
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and
in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the
oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations
he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and
that determined shall be poured upon the desolate
