Daniel 9:1-10

1 In the first year of Darius the son of Assuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who reigned over the kingdom of the Chaldeans,
2 I Daniel understood by books the number of the years which was the word of the Lord to the prophet Jeremias, seventy years for the accomplishment of the desolation of Jerusalem.
3 And I set my face toward the Lord God, to seek diligently by prayer and supplications, with fastings and sackcloth.
4 And I prayed to the Lord my God, and confessed, and said, O Lord, the great and wonderful God, keeping thy covenant and thy mercy to them that love thee, and to them that keep thy commandments; we have sinned,
5 we have done iniquity, we have transgressed, and we have departed and turned aside from thy commandments and from thy judgments:
6 and we have not hearkened to thy servants the prophets, who spoke in thy name to our kings, and our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7 To thee, O Lord, righteousness, an to us confusion of face, as at this day; to the men of Juda, and to the dwellers in Jerusalem, and to all Israel, to them that are near, and to them that are far off in all the earth, wherever thou has scattered them, for the sin which they committed.
8 In thee, O Lord, is our righteousness, and to us confusion of faced, and to our kings, and to our princes, and to our fathers, forasmuch as we have sinned.
9 To thee, the Lord our God, compassions and forgivenesses, whereas we have departed ;
10 neither have we hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by the hands of his servants the prophets.
