Daniel, Chapter 9

¹ In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of Median descent, who was made king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans— ² in 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 Jeremiah the prophet for the completion of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years. ³ So I^a Lit set my facegave my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth and ashes. ⁴ I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed and said, “Alas, O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and lovingkindness for those who love Him and keep His commandments, ⁵ we have sinned, committed iniquity, acted wickedly and rebelled, even turning aside from Your commandments and ordinances. ⁶ Moreover, we have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our princes, our fathers and all the people of the land.	1 Dan 5:31 Dan 11:1 2 Ch2 36:21 Ezr 1:1 Jer 25:11 Jer 25:12 Jer 29:10 Zec 7:5 Ch2 36:21 Ezr 1:1 Jer 25:11 Jer 25:12 Jer 29:10 Zec 7:5 4 Deu 7:21 Neh 9:32 Deu 7:9 5 Ki1 8:48 Neh 9:33 Psa 106:6 Isa 64:5-7 Jer 14:7 Ljr 1:18 Ljr 1:20 Psa 119:176 Isa 53:6 Dan 9:11 6 Ch2 36:16 Jer 44:4 Jer 44:5
⁷ “Righteousness belongs to You, O Lord, but to us^b Lit the shame of faceopen 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 all the countries to which You have driven them, because of their unfaithful deeds which they have committed against You. ⁸ ^c Lit The shame of faceOpen shame belongs to us, O Lord, to our kings, our princes and our fathers, because we have sinned against You. ⁹ To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness,^d Or thoughfor we have rebelled against Him; ¹⁰ nor have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in His^e Or lawsteachings which He set before us through His servants the prophets. ¹¹ Indeed all Israel has transgressed Your law and turned aside, not obeying Your voice; so the curse 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. ¹² Thus He has confirmed His words which He had spoken against us and against our^f Lit judges who judged usrulers who ruled us, to bring on us great calamity; for under the whole heaven there has not been done anything like what was done to Jerusalem. ¹³ As it is written in the law of Moses, all this calamity has come on us; yet we have not^g Lit softened the face ofsought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our iniquity and^h Or having insight intogiving attention to Your truth. ¹⁴ Therefore the LORD hasⁱ Lit watched over the evilkept the calamity in store and brought it on us; for the LORD our God is righteous with respect to all His deeds which He has done, but we have not obeyed His voice.	7 Jer 23:6 Jer 33:16 Dan 9:18 Psa 44:15 Jer 2:26 Jer 2:27 Jer 3:25 Deu 4:27 9 Neh 9:17 Psa 130:4 Psa 106:43 Jer 14:7 Dan 9:5 Dan 9:6 10 Ki2 17:13-15 Ki2 18:12 11 Isa 1:3 Isa 1:4 Jer 8:5-10 Deu 27:15-26 12 Isa 44:26 Jer 44:2-6 Ljr 2:17 Zec 1:6 Job 12:17 Psa 82:2-7 Psa 148:11 Ljr 1:12 Ljr 2:13 Eze 5:9 13 Lev 26:14-45 Deu 28:15-68 Dan 9:11 Job 36:13 Isa 9:13 Jer 2:30 Jer 5:3 Jer 31:18 14 Jer 31:28 Jer 44:27 Psa 51:14 Dan 9:7
¹⁵ “And now, O Lord our God, who have brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and have made a name for Yourself, as it is this day—we have sinned, we have been wicked. ¹⁶ O Lord, in accordance with all Your^j Lit righteousnessesrighteous acts, let now Your anger and Your wrath turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; for because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become a reproach to all those around us. ¹⁷ So now, our God, listen to the prayer of Your servant and to his supplications, and for^k Lit the sake of the LordYour sake, O Lord, let Your face shine on Your desolate sanctuary. ¹⁸ O my God, incline Your ear and hear! Open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city which is called by Your name; for we are not^l Lit causing to fallpresenting our supplications before You on account of^m Lit our righteousnessesany merits of our own, but on account of Your great compassion. ¹⁹ O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and take action! For Your own sake, O my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people are called by Your name.”	15 Deu 5:15 Neh 9:10 Jer 32:20 16 Jer 32:31 Jer 32:32 Psa 87:1-3 Dan 9:20 Joe 3:17 Zec 8:3 Eze 5:14 17 Num 6:24-26 Psa 80:3 Psa 80:7 Psa 80:19 Ljr 5:18 18 Isa 37:17 Psa 80:14 Jer 7:10-12 Jer 36:7 19 Psa 44:23 Psa 74:10 Psa 74:11
²⁰ Now while I was speaking and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, andⁿ Lit causing to fallpresenting my supplication before the LORD my God in behalf of the holy mountain of my God, ²¹ while I was still speaking in prayer, then the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision^o Lit at the beginningpreviously,^p Lit was reaching; or touchingcame to me^q Lit wearied with wearinessin my extreme weariness about the time of the evening offering. ²² He gave me instruction and talked with me and said, “O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you insight with understanding. ²³ At the beginning of your supplications the^r Lit word went outcommand was issued, and I have come to tell you, for you are^s Lit desirable; or precioushighly esteemed; so give heed to the message and gain understanding of the vision.	20 Psa 145:18 Isa 58:9 Dan 9:3 Dan 10:12 Isa 6:5 21 Dan 8:16 Luk 1:19 Luk 1:26 Exo 29:39 Ki1 18:36 Ezr 9:4 22 Dan 8:16 Dan 10:21 Zec 1:9 23 Dan 10:12 Dan 10:11 Dan 10:19 Mat 24:15
