Daniel 9:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ We have ignored the message your servants the prophets spoke to our kings, our leaders, our ancestors, and everyone else.

^7 (A) Everything you do is right, our Lord. But still we suffer public disgrace because we have been unfaithful and have sinned against you. This includes all of us, both far and near—the people of Judah, Jerusalem, and Israel, as well as those you dragged away to foreign lands, ⁸ and even our kings, our officials, and our ancestors.
