Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our Elohim would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of The Commandment to restore and to build Yerushalayim 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.
For TZiyon's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Yerushalayim's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a menorah that burneth.
And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
For YY shall comfort TZiyon: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of YY ; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Yerushalayim lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Yerushalayim, that we be no more a reproach.
Will YY be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
