Daniel 9:5

5 "We have sinned and done what is wrong. We have been evil. We have refused to obey you. We have turned away from your commands and laws.

Daniel 9:5 In-Context

3 So I prayed to the Lord God. I begged him. I made many appeals to him. I didn't eat anything. I put on black clothes. And I sat down in ashes.
4 I prayed to the LORD my God. I admitted that we had sinned. I said, "Lord, you are a great and wonderful God. You keep the covenant you made with all those who love you and obey your commands. You show them your love.
5 "We have sinned and done what is wrong. We have been evil. We have refused to obey you. We have turned away from your commands and laws.
6 We haven't listened to your servants the prophets. They spoke in your name to our kings and princes. They also brought your message to all of our people in the land.
7 "Lord, you always do what is right. But we are covered with shame today. We are the people of Judah and Jerusalem. All of us are Israelites, no matter where we live. We are now living in many countries. You scattered us among the nations because we weren't faithful to you.
