Daniel 9:5-14

English Standard Version

⁵^(A)we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly ^(B)and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules. ⁶^(C)We have not listened to ^(D)your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to ^(E)our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. ⁷To you, ^(F)O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us open shame, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, ^(G)those who are near and ^(H)those who are far away, in ^(I)all the lands to which you have driven them, because of ^(J)the treachery that they have committed against you. ⁸To us, O Lord, belongs open shame, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because ^(K)we have sinned against you. ⁹^(L)To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him ¹⁰^(M)and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God by walking in his laws, which he set before us by ^(N)his servants the prophets. ¹¹^(O)All Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, ^(P)refusing to obey your voice. ^(Q)And the curse and oath ^(R)that are written in the Law of ^(S)Moses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because ^(T)we have sinned against him. ¹²He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against ^(U)our rulers who ruled us,^[a] by ^(V)bringing upon us a great calamity. ^(W)For under the whole heaven there has not been done anything like what has been done against Jerusalem. ¹³^(X)As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this calamity has come upon us; yet we have not entreated the favor of the Lord our God, ^(Y)turning from our iniquities and gaining insight by your truth. ¹⁴^(Z)Therefore the Lord has kept ready the calamity and has brought it upon us, ^(AA)for the Lord our God is righteous in all the works that he has done, and ^(AB)we have not obeyed his voice.
