Daniel 9:8 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 9:8

O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face
Which is repeated, to show how much the mind of the prophet was affected with it, and to fix a sense of it in the minds of others; as well as to suggest that he wanted words fully to express that shame that everyone ought to take to themselves; and also in order to introduce what follows, and that to observe that all ranks and degrees of men were concerned in it: to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have
sinned against thee;
these had each of them sinned against the Lord, by not hearkening to his prophets, who reproved them for their sins, and warned them of their danger, ( Daniel 9:6 ) and therefore had reason to be ashamed of them before him; as well as to observe the low estate in which the royal family, princes, elders, and people in Babylon, were, being exposed to shame and reproach before all the world.

Daniel 9:8 In-Context

6 Não demos ouvidos aos teus servos, os profetas, que em teu nome falaram aos nossos reis, nossos príncipes, e nossos pais, como também a todo o povo da terra.

7 A ti, ó Senhor, pertence a justiça, porém a nós a confusão de rosto, como hoje se vê; aos homens de Judá, e aos moradores de Jerusalém, e a todo o Israel; aos de perto e aos de longe, em todas as terras para onde os tens lançado por causa das suas transgressões que cometeram contra ti.

8 ç Senhor, a nós pertence a confusão de rosto, aos nossos reis, aos nossos príncipes, e a nossos pais, porque temos pecado contra ti.

9 Ao Senhor, nosso Deus, pertencem a misericórdia e o perdão; pois nos rebelamos contra ele,

10 e não temos obedecido � voz do Senhor, nosso Deus, para andarmos nas suas leis, que nos deu por intermédio de seus servos, os profetas.
