Daniel 9:2-6

2in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, observed in the books the number of the years which was revealed as the word of the Lord to 1Jeremiah the prophet for the completion of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, 2seventy years. 3So I 3gave my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth and ashes. 4I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed and said, “Alas, O Lord, the 4great and awesome God, who 5keeps His covenant and lovingkindness for those who love Him and keep His commandments, 56we have sinned, committed iniquity, acted wickedly and 7rebelled, even 8turning aside from Your commandments and ordinances. 6Moreover, we have not 9listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our princes, our fathers and all the people of the land.
