Daniel 9:9-16
New King James Version
9 (A)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, (B)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 (C)Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against Him. 12 And He has (D)confirmed His words, which He spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great disaster; (E)for under the whole heaven such has never been done as what has been done to Jerusalem.
13 (F)“As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us; (G)yet we have not made our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities and understand Your truth. 14 Therefore the Lord has (H)kept the disaster in mind, and brought it upon us; for (I)the Lord our God is righteous in all the works which He does, though we have not obeyed His voice. 15 And now, O Lord our God, (J)who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and made Yourself (K)a name, as it is this day—we have sinned, we have done wickedly!
16 “O Lord, (L)according to all Your righteousness, I pray, let Your anger and Your fury be turned away from Your city Jerusalem, (M)Your holy mountain; because for our sins, (N)and for the iniquities of our fathers, (O)Jerusalem and Your people (P)are a reproach to all those around us.
