¹⁵ “^(A)The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your countrymen; to him you shall listen. ¹⁶ This is ^(B)in accordance with everything that you asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, saying, ‘Do not let me hear the voice of the Lord my God again, and do not let me see this great fire anymore, or I will die!’ ¹⁷ And ^(C)the Lord said to me, ‘They have ^[a]spoken well. ¹⁸ I will raise up for them a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and ^(D)I will put My words in his mouth, and ^(E)he shall speak to them everything that I command him. ^19 (F)And it shall come about that whoever does not listen to My words which he speaks in My name, I Myself will ^[b]require it of him.

Righteous Reign of the Branch

Seventy Weeks and the Messiah

²⁴ “Seventy ^[a](A)weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to ^[b]finish the wrongdoing, to ^[c]make an end of sin, to ^(B)make atonement for guilt, to bring in ^(C)everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and ^[d]prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place. ²⁵ So you are to know and understand that from the issuing of a ^[e](D)decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, until ^[f](E)Messiah the ^(F)Prince, there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with ^[g]streets and moat, even in times of distress. ²⁶ Then after the sixty-two weeks, the ^[h]Messiah will be ^(G)cut off and have ^[i]nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will ^(H)destroy the city and the sanctuary. And ^[j]its end will come with a ^(I)flood; even to the end ^[k]there will be war; desolations are determined. ²⁷ And he will confirm a covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of ^[l](J)abominations will come the one who ^[m]makes desolate, until a ^(K)complete destruction, one that is ^[n]decreed, gushes forth on the one who ^[o]makes desolate.”

The Branch

⁸ Now listen, Joshua, you high priest, you and your friends who are sitting in front of you—indeed they are men who are a ^(A)sign: for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the ^[a](B)Branch. ⁹ For behold, the stone that I have put before Joshua; on one stone are ^(C)seven eyes. Behold, I am going to engrave an inscription on it,’ declares the Lord of armies, ‘and I will ^(D)remove the guilt of that land in one day. ¹⁰ On that day,’ declares the Lord of armies, ‘every one of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his ^(E)vine and under his fig tree.’”
