DA-9:1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the
seed of the
Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;
DA-9:2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by
books the number
of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the
prophet, that
he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of
Jerusalem.
DA-9:3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer
and
supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
DA-9:4 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my
confession, and said, O
Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy
to them that
love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
DA-9:5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have
done wickedly,
and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from
thy judgments:
DA-9:6 Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets,
which spake
in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to
all the people
of the land.
DA-9:7 O Lord, righteousness [belongeth] unto thee, but unto us
confusion of
faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the
inhabitants of
Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, [that are] near, and [that are]
far off,
through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because
of their
trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
DA-9:8 O Lord, to us [belongeth] confusion of face, to our
kings, to our
princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
DA-9:9 To the Lord our God [belong] mercies and forgivenesses,
though we have
rebelled against him;
DA-9:10 Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God,
to walk in his
laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
DA-9:11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by
departing, that
they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured
upon us, and the
oath that [is] written in the law of Moses the servant of God,
because we have
sinned against him.
DA-9:12 And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against
us, and
against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great
evil: for under
the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon
Jerusalem.
DA-9:13 As [it is] written in the law of Moses, all this evil
is come upon
us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we
might turn
from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
DA-9:14 Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and
brought it upon
us: for the LORD our God [is] righteous in all his works which
he doeth: for
we obeyed not his voice.
DA-9:15 And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people
forth out of
the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee
renown, as at this
day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
DA-9:16 O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech
thee, let thine
anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy
holy mountain:
because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers,
Jerusalem and thy
people [are become] a reproach to all [that are] about us.
DA-9:17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy
servant, and his
supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary
that is
desolate, for the Lord's sake.
DA-9:18 O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes,
and behold
our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for
we do not
present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses,
but for thy
great mercies.
DA-9:19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do;
defer not, for
thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called
by thy name.
DA-9:20 And whiles I [was] speaking, and praying, and
confessing my sin and
the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication
before the LORD my
God for the holy mountain of my God;
DA-9:21 Yea, whiles I [was] speaking in prayer, even the man
Gabriel, whom I
had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly
swiftly, touched
me about the time of the evening oblation.
DA-9:22 And he informed [me], and talked with me, and said, O
Daniel, I am
now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
DA-9:23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment
came forth, and
I am come to show [thee]; for thou [art] greatly beloved:
therefore understand
the matter, and consider the vision.
DA-9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon
thy holy city,
to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to
make
reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting
righteousness, and to
seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
DA-9:25 Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going
forth of the
commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah
the Prince
[shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street
