Context of Daniel 9:8
6We have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our leaders and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 7“‘You Lord are righteousness, but shame covers our face to this day—the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and all Israel, near and far, in all the countries where you have banished them—because they behaved unfaithfully toward you. Adonai, shame covers our face—our kings, our leaders, our fathers—because we have sinned against you. 9The Lord our God is compassionate and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against Him. 10We have not obeyed the voice of Adonai Eloheinu by walking in His Torah that He set before us through His servants the prophets.
