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 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.

8 Oh Señor
, nosotros y nuestros reyes, príncipes y antepasados estamos cubiertos de vergüenza porque hemos pecado contra ti.

9 Pero el Señor, nuestro Dios, es misericordioso y perdonador, a pesar de habernos rebelado contra él.

10 No hemos obedecido al Señor
nuestro Dios, porque no hemos seguido las instrucciones que nos dio por medio de sus siervos, los profetas.
