1In the first year of Darius, son of Ahasuerus, he was king of the Chaldeans, and that’s some major rizz.

2In his first year, I, Daniel, peeped the books and realized the Lord was like, "We’re hitting 70 years of chillin’ in Jerusalem's desolation," no cap.

3I turned to the Lord God, ready to pop off with prayer, supplications, and some serious fasting with sackcloth and ashes, fr.

4I prayed to my God, confessing like, "Yo Lord, you’re the GOAT, keeping it real with your covenant and mercy for those who love you and follow your rules."

5We’ve messed up, done wicked things, and totally rebelled by ditching your precepts and judgments, straight up savage.

6We haven’t listened to your prophets who spoke your truth to our kings, princes, and fam, to everyone around here.

7Yo Lord, righteousness is yours, but we’re out here looking confused, like, for real, to the people of Judah and all Israel, no matter where they are, because we messed up big time.

8Lord, we’re the ones looking sus, our kings and fam too, 'cause we totally sinned against you.

9To our God belong mad mercies and forgivenesses, even though we’ve been rebellious, periodt.

10We didn’t vibe with the voice of the Lord our God, ignoring the laws He laid out through His prophets, and that’s just facts.

11Yo, all of Israel straight-up broke your rules, dipped out, and ignored your voice; now we’re stuck with this curse and the promise written in Moses’ law, 'cause we totally messed up.

12He confirmed what he said about us and our judges, bringing some major drama: nothing like this has gone down in Jerusalem, fr.

13As Moses said, all this chaos hit us, but we didn’t even pray to our God to turn from our mess-ups and get the truth, no cap.

14So the Lord peeped the bad vibes and let it happen: our God is righteous in all he does, and we ignored his voice, periodt.

15Now, Lord our God, you brought your people outta Egypt with mad power and made a name for yourself; we’ve sinned and been wildin’.

16O Lord, based on your righteousness, I’m begging you to chill with the anger towards your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain: 'cause our sins made Jerusalem and your people a joke to everyone around us.

17So now, our God, listen to your servant’s prayer and pleas, and let your face shine on your empty sanctuary, for your sake.

18O my God, turn your ear and listen; open your eyes and see our struggles and the city named after you: we’re not asking for our own good vibes but for your epic mercy.

19O Lord, hear us; O Lord, forgive us; O Lord, listen and act; don’t wait, for your own sake, O my God: your city and your people are called by your name.

20While I was talking, praying, and owning up to my sin and my people’s sin, I was laying my request before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God;

21So, while I was praying, the homie Gabriel, who I saw in my vision earlier, swooped in real quick and touched me around evening vibes.

22He hit me with some knowledge and said, "Yo Daniel, I’m here to drop some skill and understanding on you."

23Right when you started praying, the command came through, and I'm here to spill the tea; you’re super loved, so get the deets and peep the vision.

24Seventy weeks are set for your squad and holy city to wrap up the mess, end the sins, make peace for the wrongs, bring in forever righteousness, seal the vision and prophecy, and anoint the ultimate Holy.

25So know this: from the time the command drops to rebuild Jerusalem until the Messiah Prince, it’ll be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; the street and wall will be rebuilt, even when times are sus.

26After sixty-two weeks, the Messiah gets cut off, but not for himself; the crew of the prince coming in will wreck the city and sanctuary, and it’ll end in a flood, with desolation vibes until the war’s over.

27He’s gonna lock in the covenant with many for one week; in the middle of that week, he’ll stop the sacrifices and offerings, and for all the wild stuff going down, it’ll be made desolate until the end, and what’s set will hit the desolate.

1In 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;

2In 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.

3And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:

4And 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;

5We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:

6Neither 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.

7O 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.

8O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.

9To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;

10Neither 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.

11Yea, 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.

12And 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.

13As 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.

14Therefore 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.

15And 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.

16O 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.

17Now 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.

18O 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.

19O 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.

20And 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;

21Yea, 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.

22And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.

23At 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.

24Seventy 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.

25Know 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.

26And 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.

27And 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.
