“Because you ^(A)despise this word,
And trust in oppression and perversity,
And rely on them,
¹³ Therefore this iniquity shall be to you
^(B)Like a breach ready to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose breaking ^(C)comes suddenly, in an instant.
¹⁴ And ^(D)He shall break it like the breaking of the potter’s vessel,
Which is broken in pieces;
He shall not spare.
So there shall not be found among its fragments
^[a]A shard to take fire from the hearth,
Or to take water from the cistern.”

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.”
