Daniel 9:12

12 He has carried out His words that He spoke against us and against our rulers[a] by bringing on us so great a disaster that nothing like what has been done to Jerusalem has ever been done under all of heaven.

Daniel 9:12 In-Context

10 and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God by following His instructions that He set before us through His servants the prophets.
11 All Israel has broken Your law and turned away, refusing to obey You. The promised cursewritten in the law of Moses, the servant of God, has been poured out on us because we have sinned against Him.
12 He has carried out His words that He spoke against us and against our rulers by bringing on us so great a disaster that nothing like what has been done to Jerusalem has ever been done under all of heaven.
13 Just as it is written in the law of Moses, all this disaster has come on us, yet we have not appeased the Lord our God by turning from our injustice and paying attention to Your truth.
14 So the Lord kept the disaster in mind and brought it on us, for the Lord our God is righteous in all He has done. But we have not obeyed Him.
