Daniel 9:3-16

3So I gave my 1attention to the Lord God, to seek Him by prayer and pleading, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes. 4I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed, and said, “Oh, Lord, the 2great and awesome God, who 3keeps His covenant and faithfulness for those who love Him and keep His commandments, 54we have sinned, we have done wrong, and 5acted wickedly and 6rebelled, even 7turning aside from Your commandments and ordinances. 6Moreover, we have not 8listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our leaders, our fathers, and all the people of the land.

7“9Righteousness belongs to You, Lord, but to us 1011open shame, as it is this day--to the men of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and all Israel, those who are nearby and those who are far away in 12all the countries to which You have driven them, because of their unfaithful deeds which they have committed against You. 813Open shame belongs to us, Lord, to our kings, our leaders, and our fathers, because we have sinned against You. 9To the Lord our God belong 14compassion and forgiveness, 15because we have 16rebelled against Him; 10and we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in His 17teachings which He 18set before us through His servants the prophets. 11Indeed, 19all Israel has violated Your Law and turned aside, not obeying Your voice; so the 20curse has gushed forth on us, along with the oath which is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him. 12So He has 21confirmed His words which He had spoken against us and against our 2223rulers who ruled us, to bring on us great disaster; for under the entire heaven there has 24not been done anything like what was done in Jerusalem. 13Just as it is written in the 25Law of Moses, all this disaster has come on us; yet we have 26not 27sought the favor of the Lord our God by 28turning from our wrongdoing and 29giving attention to Your truth. 14So the Lord has 3031kept the disaster in store and brought it on us; for the Lord our God is 32righteous with respect to all His deeds which He has done, but we have not obeyed His voice.

15“And now, Lord, our God, You who 33brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and 34made a name for Yourself, as it is this day--we have sinned, we have been wicked. 16Lord, in accordance with all Your 35righteous acts, let now Your 36anger and Your wrath turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your 37holy mountain; for because of our sins and the wrongdoings of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become an 38object of taunting to all those around us.
