Daniel 9:26-27

Contemporary English Version

²⁶ At the end of the 62 weeks,^[a] the Chosen Leader^[b] will be killed and left with nothing.^[c]

A foreign ruler and his army will sweep down like a mighty flood, leaving both the city and the temple in ruins, and war and destruction will continue until the end, just as God has decided. ^27 (A) For one week^[d] this foreigner^[e] will make a firm agreement with many people, and halfway through this week,^[f] he will end all sacrifices and offerings. Then the “Horrible Thing” that causes destruction will be put there. And it will stay there until the time God has decided to destroy this one who destroys.
