The LORD had told the prophet Jeremiah that Jerusalem would remain in ruins for 70 years. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>So I turned to the Lord God and looked to him for help. I prayed, pleaded, and fasted in sackcloth and ashes. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>I prayed to the LORD my God. I confessed and said, "Lord, you are great and deserve respect as the only God. You keep your promise and show mercy to those who love you and obey your commandments. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>We have sinned, done wrong, acted wickedly, rebelled, and turned away from your commandments and laws. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>We haven't listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, leaders, ancestors, and all the common people.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>You, Lord, are righteous. But we-the men of Judah, the citizens of Jerusalem, and all the Israelites whom you scattered in countries near and far-are still ashamed because we have been unfaithful to you. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>We, our kings, leaders, and ancestors are ashamed because we have sinned against you, LORD. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>"But you, Lord our God, are compassionate and forgiving, although we have rebelled against you. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>We never listened to you or lived by the teachings you gave us through your servants the prophets. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>All Israel has ignored your teachings and refused to listen to you. So you brought on us the curses you swore in an oath, the curses written in the Teachings of your servant Moses. We sinned against you. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>So you did what you said you would do to us and our rulers by bringing a great disaster on us. Nowhere in the world has anything ever happened like what has happened to Jerusalem. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>This entire disaster happened to us, exactly as it was written in Moses' Teachings. LORD our God, we never tried to gain your favor by turning from our wrongs and dedicating ourselves to your truth. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>So you were prepared to bring this disaster on us. LORD our God, you are righteous in everything you do. But we never listened to you.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>"Lord our God, you brought your people out of Egypt with your strong hand and made yourself famous even today. We have sinned and done evil things. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>Lord, since you are very righteous, turn your anger and fury away from your city, Jerusalem, your holy mountain. Jerusalem and your people are insulted by everyone around us because of our sins and the wicked things our ancestors did. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>"Our God, listen to my prayer and request. For your own sake, Lord, look favorably on your holy place, which is lying in ruins. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Open your ears and listen, my God. Open your eyes and look at our ruins and at the city called by your name.

Do this for your sake, my God, because your city and your people are called by your name."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>I continued to pray, confessing my sins and the sins of my people Israel. I humbly placed my request about my God's holy mountain in front of the LORD my God. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>While I was praying, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the first vision, came to me about the time of the evening sacrifice. He was exhausted. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>He informed me, "Daniel, this time I have come to give you insight. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>As soon as you began to make your request, a reply was sent. I have come to give you the reply because you are highly respected. So study the message, and understand the vision.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>"Seventy sets of seven time periods have been assigned for your people and your holy city. These time periods will serve to bring an end to rebellion, to stop sin, to forgive wrongs, to usher in everlasting righteousness, to put a seal on a prophet's vision, and to anoint the Most Holy One. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>Learn, then, and understand that from the time the command is given to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the anointed prince comes, seven sets of seven time periods and sixty-two sets of seven time periods will pass. Jerusalem will be restored and rebuilt with a city square and a moat during the troubles of those times. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>But after the sixty-two sets of seven time periods, the Anointed One will be cut off and have nothing. The city and the holy place will be destroyed with the prince who is to come. His end will come with a flood until the end of the destructive war that has been determined. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/9-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>He will confirm his promise with many for one set of seven time periods. In the middle of the seven time periods, he will stop the sacrifices and food offerings. This will happen along with disgusting things that cause destruction until [those time periods] come to an end. It has been determined that this will happen to those who destroy [the city]."</p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">GOD'S WORD® is a copyrighted work of <a href="//www.godsword.org" target="_top">God's Word to the Nations</a>.
