Daniel 9:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ We did not listen to your servants, the prophets. They spoke your message to our kings, to our rulers and to our ancestors. They spoke to all the people of our nation.

⁷ Our Lord, you always do what is right. Today we are very ashamed. The people of Judah, Jerusalem and all Israel have not been faithful to you. You have sent our people away to many countries. Some are near and some are far away. We are all ashamed because we have turned away from you. ⁸ Our kings, our leaders and our ancestors have turned away from you, Lord. So we are very ashamed.
