Daniel 9:5 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 9:5

We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done
wickedly, and have rebelled
Some think there is a gradation in these words; that they had committed some sins through error and ignorance; others through infirmity and obliquity, or in the perverseness of their spirits, and the crookedness of their ways; and others wilfully and in malice, in the wickedness of their hearts; and others were open acts of hostility against God, casting off his yoke, and refusing obedience to him, and obstinately persisting therein. Jacchiades refers them to sins of actions, words, and thoughts, which they proudly and presumptuously committed. This heap of phrases seems to be used to take in all kind of sin committed by them, and rather to exaggerate than to extenuate them, and to confess them with all their aggravated circumstances; and Daniel puts in himself among the body of the people, as being a member of it, and as well knowing he was not without sin; and therefore willingly took his part in the blame of it, in confession of it, and confusion for it: even by departing from thy precepts, and from thy judgments;
both of a moral and positive nature, which were enjoined by the law of Moses, as the rule of their conduct; but from this they swerved.

Daniel 9:5 In-Context

3 Volví mi rostro a Dios el Señor para buscarle en oración y súplicas, en ayuno, cilicio y ceniza.

4 Y oré al SEÑOR mi Dios e hice confesión y dije: Ay, Señor, el Dios grande y temible, que guarda el pacto y la misericordia para los que le aman y guardan sus mandamientos,

5 hemos pecado, hemos cometido iniquidad, hemos hecho lo malo, nos hemos rebelado y nos hemos apartado de tus mandamientos y de tus ordenanzas.

6 No hemos escuchado a tus siervos los profetas que hablaron en tu nombre a nuestros reyes, a nuestros príncipes, a nuestros padres y a todo el pueblo de la tierra.

7 Tuya es la justicia, oh Señor, y nuestra la verguenza en el rostro, como sucede hoy a los hombres de Judá, a los habitantes de Jerusalén y a todo Israel, a los que están cerca y a los que están lejos en todos los países adonde los has echado, a causa de las infidelidades que cometieron contra ti.
