Daniel 9:13

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 ^{▼▼ Heb “we have not pacified the face of.”} the LORD our God by turning back from our sin and by seeking wisdom ^{▼▼ Or “by gaining insight.”} from your reliable moral standards. ^{▼▼ 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.}
