Daniel 9:7-14 To thee, Lord, belongeth righteousness; but to us confusion of face as at this day; to the man Juda and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to all Israel; and to those near and to them far off, in every land where thou hast scattered them for their breach of covenant of which they have been guilty.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ To thee, Lord, belongeth righteousness; but to us confusion of face as at this day; to the man Juda and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to all Israel; and to those near and to them far off, in every land where thou hast scattered them for their breach of covenant of which they have been guilty. ⁸ In thee, Lord, is our righteousness. Though to us belongeth confusion of face; to our kings, and our chiefs and our fathers, who have sinned against thee: ⁹ with the Lord our God are tender mercies and forgivenesses. Because we apostatised ¹⁰ and did not hearken to the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws which he set before us by the ministry of his servants the prophets; ¹¹ and all Israel transgressed thy law, and declined to hearken to thy voice; therefore upon us came the curse and the execration which is written in the law of Moses the servant of God. Because we sinned against him, ¹² therefore he confirmed his words which he spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us great evils, such as never happened under the whole heaven; as was the case in Jerusalem. ¹³ According to what is written in the law of Moses all those evils have come upon us. We indeed did not supplicate the favour of the Lord our God, by turning from all our wickedness, therefore that we might be made sensible of all thy truth, ¹⁴ the Lord hath indeed been watchful and hath brought upon us these things. For the Lord our God is righteous in every act of his which he hath done, and we have not hearkened to his voice.
