Berean Standard Bible

“O LORD, we are covered with shame—our kings, our leaders, and our fathers—because we have sinned against You.”

Daniel 9:8

Save as image

Study note

Daniel 9 records Daniel's great prayer of confession, offered after he realized from Jeremiah's writings that the exile's seventy years were nearing their end. Rather than demanding restoration, he confesses the sins of his people as his own.
