Daniel 2:45
2:45 You saw that a stone was cut from a mountain, but not by human hands; it smashed the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold into pieces. The great God has made known to the king what will occur in the future. 1 The dream is certain, and its interpretation is reliable.”
Daniel 9:13
9:13 Just as it is written in the law of Moses, so all this calamity has come on us. Still we have not tried to pacify 2 the LORD our God by turning back from our sin and by seeking wisdom 3 from your reliable moral standards. 4
1 tn Aram “after this.”
2 tn Heb “we have not pacified the face of.”
3 tn Or “by gaining insight.”
4 tn Heb “by your truth.” The Hebrew term does not refer here to abstract truth, however, but to the reliable moral guidance found in the covenant law. See vv 10-11.
