26 “After this period of sixty-two sets of seven,[a] the Anointed One will be killed, appearing to have accomplished nothing, and a ruler will arise whose armies will destroy the city and the Temple. The end will come with a flood, and war and its miseries are decreed from that time to the very end. 27 The ruler will make a treaty with the people for a period of one set of seven,[b] but after half this time, he will put an end to the sacrifices and offerings. And as a climax to all his terrible deeds,[c] he will set up a sacrilegious object that causes desecration,[d] until the fate decreed for this defiler is finally poured out on him.”

  1. Lamentations 4:1 This chapter is an acrostic poem, the verses of which begin with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

He has broken down his Temple
    as though it were merely a garden shelter.
The Lord has blotted out all memory
    of the holy festivals and Sabbath days.
Kings and priests fall together
    before his fierce anger.

The Lord has rejected his own altar;
    he despises his own sanctuary.
He has given Jerusalem’s palaces
    to her enemies.
They shout in the Lord’s Temple
    as though it were a day of celebration.

The Lord was determined
    to destroy the walls of beautiful Jerusalem.
He made careful plans for their destruction,
    then did what he had planned.
Therefore, the ramparts and walls
    have fallen down before him.

He has laid waste his dwelling like a garden;
    he has destroyed(A) his place of meeting.(B)
The Lord has made Zion forget
    her appointed festivals and her Sabbaths;(C)
in his fierce anger he has spurned
    both king and priest.(D)

The Lord has rejected his altar
    and abandoned his sanctuary.(E)
He has given the walls of her palaces(F)
    into the hands of the enemy;
they have raised a shout in the house of the Lord
    as on the day of an appointed festival.(G)

The Lord determined to tear down
    the wall around Daughter Zion.(H)
He stretched out a measuring line(I)
    and did not withhold his hand from destroying.
He made ramparts(J) and walls lament;
    together they wasted away.(K)
