Daniel 9:17-19

17“Our God, listen to my prayer and request. For your own sake, Lord, look favorably on your holy place, which is lying in ruins.

18Open your ears and listen, my God. Open your eyes and look at our ruins and at the city called by your name. We are not requesting this from you because we are righteous, but because you are very compassionate.

19Listen to us, Lord. Forgive us, Lord. Pay attention, and act. Don’t delay! Do this for your sake, my God, because your city and your people are called by your name.”
