Daniel 9:3–10

3 So I 1gave 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 agreat and awesome God, who bkeeps His covenant and lovingkindness for those who love Him and keep His commandments,

5 awe have sinned, committed iniquity, acted wickedly and brebelled, even cturning aside from Your commandments and ordinances.

6 “Moreover, we have not alistened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our princes, our fathers and all the people of the land.

7 “aRighteousness belongs to You, O Lord, but to us 1bopen 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 call the countries to which You have driven them, because of their unfaithful deeds which they have committed against You.

8 “1Open 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 acompassion and forgiveness, 1for we have brebelled against Him;

10 nor have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in His 1teachings which He aset before us through His servants the prophets.
