Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again3 with squares and moat, tbut in a troubled time. 26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall ube cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come vshall destroy the city and the sanctuary. wIts4 end shall come with a flood, xand to the end there shall be war. yDesolations are decreed.
