Daniel 9:5-12

NSB(i) 5 »We have sinned. We have dealt perversely. We have acted wickedly and have rebelled, even turning aside from your precepts and from your ordinances. 6 »We have not listened to your servants the prophets who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 7 »O Jehovah, righteousness belongs to you! Shame belongs to us this day! To the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries you have driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against you. 8 »O Jehovah, to us belongs shame, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you. 9 »To Jehovah our God belong mercies and forgiveness. We have rebelled against him. 10 »We have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets. 11 »Yes, all Israel have transgressed your law and turned aside, that they should not obey your voice. Therefore the curse has been poured out upon us. It is the oath that is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God. We have sinned against you. 12 »He confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges who ruled us. He brought a great evil on us. Nothing under heaven has been done like what was done to Jerusalem.
