Daniel 9:14 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 9:14

Therefore hath the Lord watched upon the evil, and brought it
upon us
The evil of punishment; he watched the fit and proper time to bring it upon them; indeed, he watches over the evil of sin, to bring upon men the evil of chastisement or punishment, ( Job 14:16 ) , but the latter is here meant; see ( Jeremiah 31:28 ) ( 44:27 ) , the word used has the signification of hastening; and so Jarchi and Saadiah explain it, "he hath hastened" F8: the almond tree, as the latter observes, has its name from hence, because it prevents other trees, and is quicker in putting out its blossom than they, ( Jeremiah 1:11 Jeremiah 1:19 ) and so this may denote the purity of the Lord; his displicency at sin; his strict justice in punishing it; and his diligence and activity in executing judgment for it, which slumbers not, as some imagine: for the Lord our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth;
the prophet is all along careful to clear God from any imputation of injustice in any of his works, even in his strange work, punitive justice; though he watches over the evil to bring it, yet he is righteous in so doing; no charge of unrighteousness is to be exhibited against him on this account: for we obeyed not his voice;
neither in his word, nor in his providences; neither by his prophets, nor by his judgments; and being guilty of the evil of fault, it was but just they should bear the evil of punishment.

Daniel 9:14 In-Context

12 E ele confirmou a sua palavra, que falou contra nós, e contra os nossos juízes que nos julgavam, trazendo sobre nós um grande mal; porquanto debaixo de todo o céu nunca se fez como se tem feito a Jerusalém.
13 Como está escrito na lei de Moisés, todo este mal nos sobreveio; apesar disso, não temos implorado o favor do Senhor nosso Deus, para nos convertermos das nossas iniqüidades, e para alcançarmos discernimento na tua verdade.
14 por isso, o Senhor vigiou sobre o mal, e o trouxe sobre nós; pois justo é o Senhor, nosso Deus, em todas as obras que faz; e nós não temos obedecido � sua voz.
15 Na verdade, ó Senhor, nosso Deus, que tiraste o teu povo da terra do Egito com mão poderosa, e te adquiriste nome como hoje se vê, temos pecado, temos procedido impiamente.
16 e Senhor, segundo todas as tuas justiças, apartem-se a tua ira e o teu furor da tua cidade de Jerusalém, do teu santo monte; porquanto por causa dos nossos pecados, e por causa das iniqüidades de nossos pais, tornou-se Jerusalém e o teu povo um opróbrio para todos os que estão em redor de nós.
