Daniel 9:2-6

2in the first year of his reign, I Daniel understood by the books that the number of the years, whereof the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah the prophet, for the accomplishment of the desolations of Jerusalem, was seventy years.

3And I set my face unto the Lord 1God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes;

4and I prayed unto Jehovah my 2God, and made my confession, and said, Alas Lord! the great and terrible 3God, keeping covenant and loving-kindness with them that love him, and that keep his commandments:

5we have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even turning aside from thy commandments and from thine ordinances.

6And we have not hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, who spoke in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
