Psalms 22:1

Why Have You Forsaken Me?

To the choirmaster: according to The Doe of the Dawn. A Psalm of David.

1 ^aMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so ^bfar from saving me, from the words of my ^cgroaning?

Psalms 22:18

18 ^dthey divide my garments among them,
and for my clothing they cast lots.

Isaiah 53:3-10

3 ^eHe 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 ^kwe esteemed him not.
4 ^lSurely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
^msmitten by God, and afflicted.
5 ⁿBut he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
^oand with his wounds we are healed.
6 ^pAll we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
^qand the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
^ryet he opened not his mouth;
^slike a ^tlamb 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, ^uwho 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
^vand with a rich man in his death,
although ^whe had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet ^xit was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief; ^{▼▼Or he has made him sick}
^zwhen his soul makes ^{▼▼Or when you make his soul} an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
^abthe will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

Daniel 9:24-26

The Seventy Weeks

24 ^ac“Seventy weeks ^{▼▼Or sevens; also twice in verse 25 and once in verse 26} are decreed about your people and ^aeyour holy city, to finish ^afthe transgression, to put an end to sin, ^agand to atone for iniquity, ^ahto bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and ^aito anoint a most holy place. ^{▼▼Or thing, or one} 25 ^akKnow therefore and understand that ^alfrom the going out of the word to restore and ^ambuild Jerusalem to the coming of an ^ananointed one, a ^aoprince, 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, ^aqbut in a troubled time. 26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall ^arbe cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come ^asshall destroy the city and the sanctuary. ^atIts ^{▼▼Or His} end shall come with a flood, ^avand to the end there shall be war. ^awDesolations are decreed.

declares the Lord of hosts.
^ay“Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered;
I will turn my hand against the little ones.
