²⁰ ‘As for the beauty of his ornaments,
He set it in majesty;
^(A)But they made from it
The images of their abominations—
Their detestable things;
Therefore I have made it
Like refuse to them.
²¹ I will give it as ^(B)plunder
Into the hands of strangers,
And to the wicked of the earth as spoil;
And they shall defile it.
²² I will turn My face from them,
And they will defile My secret place;
For robbers shall enter it and defile it.

^(B)“Zion shall be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem shall become ^(C)heaps of ruins,
And the mountain of the ^[a]temple
Like the ^[b]bare hills of the forest.” ’

²⁶ “And after the sixty-two weeks
^(A)Messiah shall ^[a]be cut off, ^(B)but not for Himself;
And ^(C)the people of the prince who is to come
^(D)Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.
The end of it shall be with a flood,
And till the end of the war desolations are determined.
²⁷ Then he shall confirm ^(E)a ^[b]covenant with ^(F)many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
^(G)Even until the consummation, which is determined,
Is poured out on the ^[c]desolate.”
