Daniel 9:6-8

Good News Translation

⁶ We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our rulers, our ancestors, and our whole nation. ^7 (A)You, Lord, always do what is right, but we have always brought disgrace on ourselves. This is true of all of us who live in Judea and in Jerusalem and of all the Israelites whom you scattered in countries near and far because they were unfaithful to you. ⁸ Our kings, our rulers, and our ancestors have acted shamefully and sinned against you, Lord.
