Daniel 9:5-12
New King James Version
5 (A)we have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts and Your judgments. 6 (B)Neither have we heeded Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings and our princes, to our fathers and all the people of the land. 7 O Lord, (C)righteousness belongs to You, but to us shame of face, as it is this day—to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, those near and those far off in all the countries to which You have driven them, because of the unfaithfulness which they have committed against You.
8 “O Lord, to us belongs shame of face, to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, because we have sinned against You. 9 (D)To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him. 10 We have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets. 11 Yes, (E)all Israel has transgressed Your law, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice; therefore the curse and the oath written in the (F)Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against Him. 12 And He has (G)confirmed His words, which He spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great disaster; (H)for under the whole heaven such has never been done as what has been done to Jerusalem.

God’s Wrath on His Enemies
2 God is (A)jealous, and the Lord avenges;

And He reserves wrath for His enemies;
3 The Lord is (B)slow to anger and (C)great in power,
And will not at all acquit the wicked.
(D)The Lord has His way
In the whirlwind and in the storm,
And the clouds are the dust of His feet.
4 (E)He rebukes the sea and makes it dry,
And dries up all the rivers.
(F)Bashan and Carmel wither,
And the flower of Lebanon wilts.
5 The mountains quake before Him,
The hills melt,
And the earth [a]heaves at His presence,
Yes, the world and all who dwell in it.
6 Who can stand before His indignation?
And (G)who can endure the fierceness of His anger?
His fury is poured out like fire,
And the rocks are thrown down by Him.
