Daniel 9:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ Lord, you didn’t hold back from bringing this trouble on us. You always do what is right. But we haven’t obeyed you.

¹⁵ “Lord our God, you used your mighty hand to bring your people out of Egypt. You made a name for yourself. It is still great to this day. But we have sinned. We’ve done what is wrong. ¹⁶ Lord, you saved your people before. So turn your great anger away from Jerusalem again. After all, it is your city. It’s your holy mountain. You have made those who live around us think little of Jerusalem and your people. That’s because we have sinned. Our people before us did evil things too.
