Daniel

Daniel 9:8–11

⁸O LORD, we are covered with shame — our kings, our leaders, and our fathers — because we have sinned against You.

⁹To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, even though we have rebelled against Him ¹⁰and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God to walk in His laws, which He set before us through His servants the prophets.

¹¹All Israel has transgressed Your law and turned away, refusing to obey Your voice; so the oath and the curse written in the Law of Moses the servant of God has been poured out on us, because we have sinned against You.
