Context of Daniel 9:10

8O lord, we have been humiliated – our kings, our leaders, and our ancestors – because we have sinned against you. 9Yet the Lord our God is compassionate and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him. We have not obeyed the lord our God by living according to his laws that he set before us through his servants the prophets. 11“All Israel has broken your law and turned away by not obeying you. Therefore you have poured out on us the judgment solemnly threatened in the law of Moses the servant of God, for we have sinned against you. 12He has carried out his threats against us and our rulers who were over us by bringing great calamity on us – what has happened to Jerusalem has never been equaled under all heaven!
