Daniel 9:4-14

4and I prayed unto Jehovah my 1God, and made my confession, and said, Alas Lord! the great and terrible 2God, 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.

7Thine, O Lord, is the righteousness, but unto us confusion of face, as at this day, to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, in all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their unfaithfulness in which they have been unfaithful against thee.

8O Lord, unto us is confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.

9With the Lord our 3God are mercies and pardons, for we have rebelled against him;

10and we have not hearkened unto the voice of Jehovah our 4God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us through his servants the prophets.

11And all Israel have transgressed thy law, even turning aside so as not to listen unto thy voice. And the curse hath been poured out upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of 5God: for we have sinned against him.

12And he hath performed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil; so that there hath not been done under the whole heaven as hath been done upon Jerusalem.

13As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us; yet we besought not Jehovah our 6God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.

14And Jehovah hath watched over the evil, and brought it upon us; for Jehovah our 7God is righteous in all his works which he hath done; and we have not hearkened unto his voice.
