⁹ In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.

¹⁰ Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

²⁶ And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

²⁰ And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
