Dan 9:5-19 | ESV | STEP | we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled , turning aside from your commandments and rules .

5 ^awe have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly ^band rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules. 6 ^cWe have not listened to ^dyour servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to ^eour kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 7 To you, ^fO Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us open shame, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, ^gthose who are near and ^hthose who are far away, in ⁱall the lands to which you have driven them, because of ^jthe treachery that they have committed against you. 8 To us, O Lord, belongs open shame, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because ^kwe have sinned against you. 9 ^lTo the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him 10 ^mand have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God by walking in his laws, which he set before us by ⁿhis servants the prophets. 11 ^oAll Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, ^prefusing to obey your voice. ^qAnd the curse and oath ^rthat are written in the Law of ^sMoses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because ^twe have sinned against him. 12 He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against ^uour rulers who ruled us, ^{▼▼Or our judges who judged us} by ^wbringing upon us a great calamity. ^xFor under the whole heaven there has not been done anything like what has been done against Jerusalem. 13 ^yAs it is written in the Law of Moses, all this calamity has come upon us; yet we have not entreated the favor of the Lord our God, ^zturning from our iniquities and gaining insight by your truth. 14 ^aaTherefore the Lord has kept ready the calamity and has brought it upon us, ^abfor the Lord our God is righteous in all the works that he has done, and ^acwe have not obeyed his voice. 15 And now, O Lord our God, who brought your people out of the land of Egypt ^adwith a mighty hand, and ^aehave made a name for yourself, as at this day, ^afwe have sinned, we have done wickedly.

16 “O Lord, ^agaccording to all your righteous acts, let your anger and your wrath turn away from your city Jerusalem, ^ahyour holy hill, ^aibecause for our sins, and for ^ajthe iniquities of our fathers, ^akJerusalem and your people have become ^ala byword among all who are around us. 17 Now therefore, O our God, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his pleas for mercy, and for your own sake, O Lord, ^{▼▼Hebrew for the Lord’s sake} ^anmake your face to shine upon ^aoyour sanctuary, which is desolate. 18 ^apO my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see ^aqour desolations, and ^arthe city that is called by your name. For we do not present our pleas before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy. 19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive. O Lord, pay attention and act. ^asDelay not, ^atfor your own sake, O my God, because ^auyour city and ^avyour people are called by your name.”
