Daniel 9:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 For we would not obey thy servants the Prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7 O Lord, [a]righteousness belongeth unto thee, and unto us [b]open shame, as appeareth this day unto every man of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, yea, unto all Israel, both near and far off, through all the country, whither thou hast driven them, because of their offences, that they have committed against thee.
8 O Lord, unto us appertaineth open shame, to our [c]Kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
