Sect. V] Gliapters XCIII. IB ~XCI. 17 233<br />

14 a. And after that, in <strong>the</strong> ninth week^ <strong>the</strong> righteous judge-<br />

ment shall be revealed to <strong>the</strong> whole world,<br />

b. And all <strong>the</strong> works <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> godless shall vanish from all <strong>the</strong><br />

earth,<br />

c. And <strong>the</strong> world shall be written down for destruction.<br />

15. And after this, in <strong>the</strong> tenth week in <strong>the</strong> seventh part.<br />

There shall be <strong>the</strong> great eternal judgement,<br />

In which He will execute vengeance amongst <strong>the</strong> angels.<br />

16. And <strong>the</strong> first heaven shall depart and pass away.<br />

And a new heaven shall appear.<br />

And all <strong>the</strong> powers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> heavens shall give sevenfold<br />

light.<br />

17. And after that <strong>the</strong>re will be many weeks without number<br />

for ever,<br />

This means first <strong>of</strong> all <strong>the</strong> temple and<br />

in <strong>the</strong> next place Jerusalem. 14.<br />

This stanza is difEoult. It is too long<br />

by one line, -whereas <strong>the</strong> preceding<br />

stanza is too short. Accordingly I have<br />

transposed lid to <strong>the</strong> close <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

preceding stanza. The ninth week,<br />

as Dillmann supposes, may mean <strong>the</strong><br />

period in which true religion will<br />

spread over <strong>the</strong> earth, and <strong>the</strong> judgement<br />

described in ver. 12, and executed<br />

by <strong>the</strong> righteous, will be made known<br />

to <strong>the</strong> neutral Gentile nations with a<br />

view to <strong>the</strong>ir conversion; cf. 50^~^<br />
