And ^{▼▼Or his}its end will come with a ^sflood; even to the end ^{▼▼Or war will be decreed for desolations}there will be war; desolations are determined. 27 And he will confirm a covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of ^{▼▼Or detestable things
