Daniel 9:8-14

LEB(i) 8 Yahweh, on us is open shame, on our kings, on our princes, and on our ancestors,* because we have sinned against you. 9 Compassion and forgiveness belong to the Lord, our God,* for we have rebelled against him, 10 and we have not listened to the voice of Yahweh our God, by following his law which he placed before us* by the hand of his servants the prophets. 11 "And all Israel transgressed your law and turned aside so as not to listen to your voice, and so the curse and the oath which was written in the law of Moses, the servant of God, has been poured out upon us, because we have sinned against him. 12 And so he has carried out his words which he spoke against us and against our rulers who ruled us, to bring upon us a great calamity which was not done under all of heaven as it was done in Jerusalem. 13 Just as it is written in the law of Moses, all of this calamity has come upon us, and we have not implored* the face of Yahweh our God so as to turn from our iniquities and to attend closely to your faithfulness.* 14 So Yahweh has kept watch over the* calamity, and now he has brought it upon us. Indeed, Yahweh our God is righteous concerning all his works* that he has done, but we have not listened to his voice.
