The Proclamation of Cyrus
1 (A)In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, (B)that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so (C)that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and also put it in writing:
2 “Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and (D)he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 3 Whoever is among you of all his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and rebuild the house of the Lord, the God of Israel—(E)he is the God who is in Jerusalem. 4 And let each survivor, in whatever place he sojourns, be assisted by the men of his place with silver and gold, with goods and with beasts, besides freewill offerings for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.”
5 Then rose up the heads of the fathers' houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites, (F)everyone whose spirit (G)God had stirred to go up to rebuild the house of the Lord that is in Jerusalem. 6 And all who were about them (H)aided them with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, with beasts, and with costly wares, besides all that was freely offered. 7 (I)Cyrus the king also brought out the vessels of the house of the Lord that (J)Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and placed in the house of his gods. 8 Cyrus king of Persia brought these out in the charge of (K)Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to (L)Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. 9 And this was the number of them: (M)30 basins of gold, 1,000 basins of silver, 29 censers, 10 30 bowls of gold, 410 bowls of silver, and 1,000 other vessels; 11 all the vessels of gold and of silver were 5,400. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up, when the exiles were brought up from Babylonia to Jerusalem.

Daniel 9:2-27
English Standard Version
2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of years that, according to (A)the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet, must pass before the end of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years.
3 Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by (B)prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting and sackcloth and ashes. 4 I prayed to the Lord my God and (C)made confession, saying, (D)“O Lord, the (E)great and awesome God, who (F)keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, 5 (G)we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly (H)and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules. 6 (I)We have not listened to (J)your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to (K)our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 7 To you, (L)O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us open shame, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, (M)those who are near and (N)those who are far away, in (O)all the lands to which you have driven them, because of (P)the treachery that they have committed against you. 8 To us, O Lord, belongs open shame, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because (Q)we have sinned against you. 9 (R)To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him 10 (S)and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God by walking in his laws, which he set before us by (T)his servants the prophets. 11 (U)All Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, (V)refusing to obey your voice. (W)And the curse and oath (X)that are written in the Law of (Y)Moses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because (Z)we have sinned against him. 12 He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against (AA)our rulers who ruled us,[a] by (AB)bringing upon us a great calamity. (AC)For under the whole heaven there has not been done anything like what has been done against Jerusalem. 13 (AD)As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this calamity has come upon us; yet we have not entreated the favor of the Lord our God, (AE)turning from our iniquities and gaining insight by your truth. 14 (AF)Therefore the Lord has kept ready the calamity and has brought it upon us, (AG)for the Lord our God is righteous in all the works that he has done, and (AH)we have not obeyed his voice. 15 And now, O Lord our God, who brought your people out of the land of Egypt (AI)with a mighty hand, and (AJ)have made a name for yourself, as at this day, (AK)we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
16 “O Lord, (AL)according to all your righteous acts, let your anger and your wrath turn away from your city Jerusalem, (AM)your holy hill, (AN)because for our sins, and for (AO)the iniquities of our fathers, (AP)Jerusalem and your people have become (AQ)a byword among all who are around us. 17 Now therefore, O our God, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his pleas for mercy, and for your own sake, O Lord,[b] (AR)make your face to shine upon (AS)your sanctuary, which is desolate. 18 (AT)O my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see (AU)our desolations, and (AV)the city that is called by your name. For we do not present our pleas before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy. 19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive. O Lord, pay attention and act. (AW)Delay not, (AX)for your own sake, O my God, because (AY)your city and (AZ)your people are called by your name.”
Gabriel Brings an Answer
20 (BA)While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my plea before the Lord my God for (BB)the holy hill of my God, 21 while I was speaking in prayer, the man (BC)Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the first, (BD)came to me in swift flight at (BE)the time of the evening sacrifice. 22 (BF)He made me understand, speaking with me and saying, “O Daniel, I have now come out to give you (BG)insight and understanding. 23 (BH)At the beginning of your pleas for mercy a word went out, (BI)and I have come to tell it to you, for (BJ)you are greatly loved. Therefore consider the word (BK)and understand the vision.
The Seventy Weeks
24 (BL)“Seventy weeks[c] are decreed about your people and (BM)your holy city, to finish (BN)the transgression, to put an end to sin, (BO)and to atone for iniquity, (BP)to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and (BQ)to anoint a most holy place.[d] 25 (BR)Know therefore and understand that (BS)from the going out of the word to restore and (BT)build Jerusalem to the coming of an (BU)anointed one, a (BV)prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again[e] with squares and moat, (BW)but in a troubled time. 26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall (BX)be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come (BY)shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. (BZ)Its[f] end shall come with a flood, (CA)and to the end there shall be war. (CB)Desolations are decreed. 27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week,[g] and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. (CC)And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until (CD)the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”
