8O LORD, we are covered with shame — our kings, our leaders, and our fathers— because we have sinned against You.
9To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, even though we have rebelled against Him
10and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God to walk in His laws, which He set before us through His servants the prophets.
11All Israel has transgressed Your law and turned away, refusing to obey Your voice; so the oath and the curse written in the Law of Moses the servant of God has been poured out on us, because we have sinned against You.
— Daniel 9:8-11
