Daniel 9:9-17

9To the Lord our God belong 1compassion and forgiveness, 2for we have 3rebelled against Him; 10nor have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in His 4teachings which He 5set before us through His servants the prophets. 11Indeed 6all Israel has transgressed Your law and turned aside, not obeying Your voice; so the 7curse has been poured out on us, along with the oath which is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, for we have sinned against Him. 12Thus He has 8confirmed His words which He had spoken against us and against our 9 10rulers who ruled us, to bring on us great calamity; for under the whole heaven there has 11not been done anything like what was done to Jerusalem. 13As it is written in the 12law of Moses, all this calamity has come on us; yet we have 13not 14sought the favor of the Lord our God by 15turning from our iniquity and 16giving attention to Your truth. 14Therefore the Lord has 17 18kept the calamity in store and brought it on us; for the Lord our God is 19righteous with respect to all His deeds which He has done, but we have not obeyed His voice.

15“And now, O Lord our God, who have 20brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and have 21made a name for Yourself, as it is this day--we have sinned, we have been wicked. 16O Lord, in accordance with all Your 22righteous acts, let now Your 23anger and Your wrath turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your 24holy mountain; for because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become a 25reproach to all those around us. 17So now, our God, listen to the prayer of Your servant and to his supplications, and for 26Your sake, O Lord, 27let Your face shine on Your 28desolate sanctuary.
