Daniel 9:16

¹ tn Heb “to us (belongs) shame of face.”

² tn Or “righteousness.”

³ tn Heb “your anger and your rage.” The synonyms are joined here to emphasize the degree of God’s anger. This is best expressed in English by making one of the terms adjectival (cf. NLT “your furious anger”; CEV “terribly angry”).
