1	In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king# over the realm of the Chaldeans; [which: or, in which he]
			2	In the first year of his reign# I Daniel understood# by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish# seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
			3	And I set# my face unto the Lord God, to seek# by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
			4	And I prayed# unto the LORD my God, and made my confession# , and said# , O Lord, the great and dreadful# God, keeping# the covenant and mercy to them that love# him, and to them that keep# his commandments;
			5	We have sinned# , and have committed iniquity# , and have done wickedly# , and have rebelled# , even by departing# from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
			6	Neither have we hearkened# unto thy servants the prophets, which spake# in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
			7	O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants# of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven# them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed# against thee. [belongeth...: or, thou hast]
			8	O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned# against thee.
			9	To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled# against him;
			10	Neither have we obeyed# the voice of the LORD our God, to walk# in his laws, which he set# before us by his servants the prophets.
			11	Yea, all Israel have transgressed# thy law, even by departing# , that they might not obey# thy voice; therefore the curse is poured# upon us, and the oath that is written# in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned# against him.
			12	And he hath confirmed# his words, which he spake# against us, and against our judges# that judged# us, by bringing# upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done# as hath been done# upon Jerusalem.
			13	As it is written# in the law of Moses, all this evil is come# upon us: yet made we not our prayer# before the LORD our God, that we might turn# from our iniquities, and understand# thy truth. [made...: Heb. intreated we not the face of the, etc]
			14	Therefore hath the LORD watched# upon the evil, and brought# it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth# : for we obeyed# not his voice.
			15	And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought# thy people forth# out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten# thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned# , we have done wickedly# . [gotten...: Heb. made thee a name]
			16	O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away# from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.
			17	Now therefore, O our God, hear# the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine# upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.
			18	O my God, incline# thine ear, and hear# ; open# thine eyes, and behold# our desolations# , and the city which is called# by thy name: for we do not present# our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies. [which...: Heb. whereupon thy name is called] [present: Heb. cause to fall]
			19	O Lord, hear# ; O Lord, forgive# ; O Lord, hearken# and do# ; defer# not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called# by thy name.
			20	And whiles I was speaking# , and praying# , and confessing# my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting# my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;
			21	Yea, whiles I was speaking# in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen# in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly# swiftly, touched# me about the time of the evening oblation. [swiftly: Heb. with weariness, or, flight]
			22	And he informed# me , and talked# with me, and said# , O Daniel, I am now come forth# to give thee skill# and understanding. [to...: Heb. to make thee skilful of]
			23	At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth# , and I am come# to shew# thee ; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand# the matter, and consider# the vision. [commandment: Heb. word] [greatly...: Heb. a man of desires]
			24	Seventy weeks are determined# upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish# the transgression, and to make an end# # # # of sins, and to make reconciliation# for iniquity, and to bring in# everlasting righteousness, and to seal up# the vision and prophecy, and to anoint# the most Holy. [finish: or, restrain] [make an...: or, seal up] [prophecy: Heb. prophet]
			25	Know# therefore and understand# , that from the going forth of the commandment to restore# and to build# Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built# again# , and the wall, even in troublous times. [be built...: Heb. return and be built] [wall: or, breach, or, ditch] [troublous: Heb. strait of]
			26	And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off# , but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come# shall destroy# the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations# are determined# . [but...: or, and shall have nothing] [desolations...: or, it shall be cut off by desolations]
			27	And he shall confirm# the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease# , and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate# , even until the consummation, and that determined# shall be poured# upon the desolate# . [the covenant: or, a covenant] [for the...: or, with the abominable armies] [the desolate: or, the desolator]
