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 ouvido aos teus servos, os profetas, que falaram em teu nome aos nossos reis, aos nossos líderes e aos nossos antepassados, e a todo o teu povo.

7 Senhor, tu és justo, e hoje estamos envergonhados. Sim, nós, o povo de Judá, de Jerusalém e de todo o Israel, tanto os que estão perto como os que estão distantes, em todas as terras pelas quais nos espalhaste por causa de nossa infidelidade para contigo.

8 Ó SENHOR, nós e nossos reis, nossos líderes e nossos antepassados estamos envergonhados por termos pecado contra ti.

9 O Senhor nosso Deus é misericordioso e perdoador, apesar de termos sido rebeldes;

10 não te demos ouvidos, SENHOR nosso Deus, nem obedecemos às leis que nos deste por meio dos teus servos, os profetas.
