It will again <07725> be built <01129>, with plaza <07339> and moat <02742>, but in distressful <06695> times <06256>. 9:26 Now after <0310> the sixty-two <08147> <08346> weeks <07620>, an anointed one <04899> will be cut off <03772> and have nothing <0369>.

Until <05704> the end <07093> of the war <04421> that has been decreed <02782> there will be destruction <08074>. 9:27 He will confirm <01396> a covenant <01285> with many <07227> for one <0259> week <07620> <07620>. But in the middle <02677> of that week he will bring <07673> sacrifices <02077> and offerings <04503> to a halt. On <05921> the wing <03671> of abominations <08251> will come one who destroys <08074>, until <05704> the decreed <02782> end <03617> is poured out <05413> on <05921> the one who destroys <08074>.”
