Isaiah 9:6-7

6 ^aFor to us a child is born,
to us ^ba son is given;
^cand the government shall be ^dupon ^{▼▼Or is upon} his shoulder,
and his name shall be called ^{▼▼Or is called}
Wonderful ^gCounselor, ^hMighty God,
ⁱEverlasting ^jFather, Prince of ^kPeace.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace
^lthere will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
^mwith justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
ⁿThe zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

Isaiah 53

1 ^oWho has believed what he has heard from us? ^{▼▼Or Who has believed what we have heard?}
And to whom has ^qthe arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
^rand like a root out of dry ground;
^she had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
3 ^tHe was despised and rejected ^{▼▼Or forsaken} by men,
a man of sorrows, ^{▼▼Or pains; also verse 4} and acquainted with ^{▼▼Or and knowing} grief; ^{▼▼Or sickness; also verse 4}
and as one from whom men hide their faces ^{▼▼Or as one who hides his face from us}
he was despised, and ^zwe esteemed him not.
4 ^aaSurely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
^absmitten by God, and afflicted.
5 ^acBut he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
^adand with his wounds we are healed.
6 ^aeAll we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
^afand the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
^agyet he opened not his mouth;
^ahlike a ^ailamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, ^ajwho considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
9 And they made his grave with the wicked
^akand with a rich man in his death,
although ^alhe had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet ^amit was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief; ^{▼▼Or he has made him sick}
^aowhen his soul makes ^{▼▼Or when you make his soul} an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
^aqthe will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see ^{▼▼Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scroll he shall see light} and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall ^asthe righteous one, my servant,
^atmake many to be accounted righteous,
^auand he shall bear their iniquities.
12 ^avTherefore I will divide him a portion with the many, ^{▼▼Or with the great}
^axand he shall divide the spoil with the strong, ^{▼▼Or with the numerous}
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
^azyet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.

Daniel 9:24-27

The Seventy Weeks

24 ^ba“Seventy weeks ^{▼▼Or sevens; also twice in verse 25 and once in verse 26} are decreed about your people and ^bcyour holy city, to finish ^bdthe transgression, to put an end to sin, ^beand to atone for iniquity, ^bfto bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and ^bgto anoint a most holy place. ^{▼▼Or thing, or one} 25 ^biKnow therefore and understand that ^bjfrom the going out of the word to restore and ^bkbuild Jerusalem to the coming of an ^blanointed one, a ^bmprince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again ^{▼▼Or there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It shall be built again} with squares and moat, ^bobut in a troubled time. 26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall ^bpbe cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come ^bqshall destroy the city and the sanctuary. ^brIts ^{▼▼Or His} end shall come with a flood, ^btand to the end there shall be war. ^buDesolations are decreed. 27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, ^{▼▼Or seven; twice in this verse} and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. ^bwAnd on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until ^bxthe decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”
