26 After those sixty-two weeks
the Anointed One will be cut off(A)
and will have nothing.
The people of the coming ruler
will destroy the city(B) and the sanctuary.[a]
The[b] end will come with a flood,(C)
and until the end there will be[c] war;
desolations are decreed.
27 He will make a firm covenant[d]
with many for one week,
but in the middle of the week
he will put a stop to sacrifice and offering.
And the abomination of desolation(D)
will be on a wing(E) of the temple[e][f]
until the decreed destruction(F)
is poured out on the desolator.”
