Daniel 9:13-14
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 1 the LORD our God by turning back from our sin and by seeking wisdom 2 from your reliable moral standards. 3
9:14 The LORD was mindful of the calamity, and he brought it on us. For the LORD our God is just 4 in all he has done, 5 and we have not obeyed him. 6
