Daniel 9:7
Context9:7 “You are righteous, 4 O Lord, but we are humiliated this day 5 – the people 6 of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far away in all the countries in which you have scattered them, because they have behaved unfaithfully toward you.
Daniel 9:16

1 tn Aram “the beasts of the field.”
2 tn Aram “all flesh.”
3 tn If the “holy ones” are angels, then this probably refers to the angels as protectors of God’s people. If the “holy ones” are God’s people, then this is an appositional construction, “the people who are the holy ones.” See 8:24 for the corresponding Hebrew phrase and the note there.
4 tn Heb “to you (belongs) righteousness.”
5 tn Heb “and to us (belongs) shame of face like this day.”
6 tn Heb “men.”
7 tn Or “righteousness.”
8 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”).
