I saw by night, and behold, a man mounted on a red horse, and he stood between the shady mountains; and behind him were red horses, and gray, and piebald, and white.

And the man that stood between the mountains answered, and said to me, These are [those] whom the Lord has sent forth to go round the earth.

And they answered the Angel of the Lord that stood between the mountains, and said, We have gone round all the earth, and behold, all the earth is inhabited, and is at rest.

And behold, I send My angel before your face, that He may keep you in the way, that He may bring you into the land which I have prepared for you.

If you will indeed hear My voice, and if you will do all the things I shall charge you with, and keep My covenant, you shall be to Me a peculiar people above all nations. For the whole earth is Mine, and you shall be to Me a royal priesthood, and a holy nation. These words shall you speak to the children of Israel: If you shall indeed hear My voice, and do all the things I shall tell you, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.

out of all their affliction; not an ambassador, nor a messenger, but [He H]imself saved them, because He loved them and spared them; He Himself redeemed them, and took them up, and lifted them up all the days of old.

You shall arise, and have mercy upon Zion; for [it is] time to have mercy upon her, for the appointed time has come.

Be not very angry with us, and remember not our sins forever; but now look on [us], for we are all Your people.

The house, our sanctuary, and the glory which our fathers blessed, has been burned with fire; and all our glorious things have gone to ruin.

And they cried [with] a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, do You not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?"

that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, until the land should enjoy its Sabbaths in resting, [and] Sabbath keeping all the days of its desolation, till the accomplishment of seventy years.

And all the land shall be a desolation; and they shall serve among the Gentiles seventy years.

And when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will take vengeance on that nation, and will make them a perpetual desolation.

For thus said the Lord: When seventy years shall be on the verge of being accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you, and will confirm My words to you, to bring back your people to this place.

I, Daniel understood by the books the number of years which was the word of the Lord to the prophet Jeremiah, [the] seventy years for the accomplishment of the desolation of Jerusalem.
