Daniel 9:1 CPDV

¹  In the first year of Darius, the son of Ahasuerus, of the offspring of the Medes, who ruled over the kingdom of the Chaldeans,

²  in year one of his reign, I, Daniel, understood in the books the number of the years, concerning the word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah, the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would be completed in seventy years.

³  And I set my face to the Lord, my God, to ask and make supplication with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
