Daniel 9:8-11

8Our kings, our leaders and our ancestors have turned away from you, Lord. So we are very ashamed.

9Our Lord God, we have turned against you. But you are kind and you forgive people.

10We have not obeyed the Lord our God. You sent your servants, the prophets, to give us your laws. But we have not lived in the way that your laws taught us.

11All the people of Israel have turned away from your laws. We have refused to obey you. Your servant Moses gave us your laws. He warned us about your punishments. Now you have punished us in the way that he said. We have turned away from you.
