Daniel 9:5

5 pero hemos pecado y hemos hecho lo malo. Nos hemos rebelado contra ti y hemos despreciado tus mandatos y ordenanzas.

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 Así que dirigí mis ruegos al Señor Dios, en oración y ayuno. También me puse ropa de tela áspera y arrojé cenizas sobre mi cabeza.

4 Oré al Señor
mi Dios y le confesé:
«¡Oh Señor
, tú eres un Dios grande y temible! Siempre cumples tu pacto y tus promesas de amor inagotable con los que te aman y obedecen tus mandatos;

5 pero hemos pecado y hemos hecho lo malo. Nos hemos rebelado contra ti y hemos despreciado tus mandatos y ordenanzas.

6 Nos hemos rehusado a escuchar a tus siervos, los profetas, quienes hablaron bajo tu autoridad a nuestros reyes, príncipes, antepasados y a todo el pueblo de la tierra.

7 »Señor, tú tienes la razón; pero como ves, tenemos el rostro cubierto de vergüenza. Esto nos sucede a todos, tanto a los que están en Judá y en Jerusalén, como a todo el pueblo de Israel disperso en lugares cercanos y lejanos, adondequiera que nos has mandado por nuestra deslealtad a ti.
