¹³ Then I heard ^(A)a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to the one who spoke, ^(B)“For how long is the vision concerning the regular burnt offering, ^(C)the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled underfoot?”

² but do not measure ^(A)the court outside the temple; leave that out, for ^(B)it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for ^(C)forty-two months.

¹⁰ They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, ^(A)holy and true, ^(B)how long ^(C)before you will judge and ^(D)avenge our blood on ^(E)those who dwell on the earth?”

²⁷ And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week,^[a] and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. ^(A)And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until ^(B)the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”

²⁴ They will fall by the edge of the sword and ^(A)be led captive among all nations, and ^(B)Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, ^(C)until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

³¹ Forces from him shall appear and ^(A)profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And ^(B)they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate.

¹³ “I saw in ^(A)the visions of my head as I lay in bed, and behold, ^(B)a watcher, ^(C)a holy one, came down from heaven.

^12 (A)It was revealed to them that ^(B)they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you ^(C)by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, ^(D)things into which angels long to look.

²⁹ How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one ^(A)who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned ^(B)the blood of the covenant ^(C)by which he was sanctified, and has ^(D)outraged the Spirit of grace?
