In the
first year of
Darius the
son of
Ahasuerus, of the
seed of the
Medes, which was made
king over the
realm of the
Chaldeans;

In the
first year of his
reign I
Daniel understood by
books the
number of the
years, whereof the
word of the
LORD came to
Jeremiah the
prophet, that he would
accomplish seventy years in the
desolations of
Jerusalem.

And I
set my
face unto the
Lord God, to
seek by
prayer and
supplications, with
fasting, and
sackcloth, and
ashes:

And I
prayed unto the
LORD my
God, and made my
confession, and
said,
O Lord, the
great and
dreadful God, keeping the
covenant and
mercy to them that
love him, and to them that
keep his
commandments;

We have
sinned, and have committed
iniquity, and have done
wickedly, and have
rebelled, even by
departing from thy
precepts and from thy
judgments:

Neither have we
hearkened unto thy
servants the
prophets, which
spake in thy
name to our
kings, our
princes, and our
fathers, and to all the
people of the
land.
