Daniel 9:14

11 yea, all Israel, have transgressed thy law, even going away, so as not to hearken unto thy voice,—therefore, were poured out upon us, the curse and the oath which had been written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we had sinned against him.

12 Thus hath he confirmed his words which he had spoken against us, and against our judges who had judged us, by bringing in upon us a great calamity,—as to which there had not been done, under all the heavens, as hath been done unto Jerusalem.

13 Even as written in the law of Moses, hath, all this calamity, come in upon us,—yet entreated we not the face of Yahweh our God, by turning away from our iniquities, and by getting intelligence in thy truth.

14 Therefore hath Yahweh, kept watch, for the calamity, and brought it in upon us,—for righteous is Yahweh our God concerning all his deeds which he hath done, seeing that we had not hearkened unto his voice.

15 Now, therefore, O Lord our God, who didst bring forth thy people out of the land of Egypt with a firm hand, and didst make for thyself a name, as at this day,—we have sinned, we have been guilty of lawlessness.

16 O Lord! according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thine indignation turn away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain,—for, by reason of our sins, and by reason of the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people, have become a reproach, to all who are round about us.

17 Now, therefore, hearken, O our God, unto the prayer of thy servant, and unto his supplications, and let thy face shine, upon thy sanctuary, that is desolate,—for the sake of thy servants, O Lord.
