Daniel 9:13 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Daniel 9:13

11 Yes, ^aall Israel has transgressed Your law, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice; therefore the curse and the oath written in the ^bLaw of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against Him.

12 And He has ^aconfirmed His words, which He spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great disaster; ^bfor under the whole heaven such has never been done as what has been done to Jerusalem.

13 ^a“As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us; ^byet we have not made our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities and understand Your truth.

14 Therefore the Lord has ^akept the disaster in mind, and brought it upon us; for ^bthe Lord our God is righteous in all the works which He does, though we have not obeyed His voice.

15 And now, O Lord our God, ^awho brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and made Yourself ^ba name, as it is this day—we have sinned, we have done wickedly!

16 “O Lord, ^aaccording to all Your righteousness, I pray, let Your anger and Your fury be turned away from Your city Jerusalem, ^bYour holy mountain; because for our sins, ^cand for the iniquities of our fathers, ^dJerusalem and Your people ^eare a reproach to all those around us.

yet made we not our prayer before—literally, "soothed not the face of." Not even our chastisement has taught us penitence (Isaiah 9:13; Jeremiah 5:3; Hosea 7:10). Diseased, we spurn the healing medicine.

that we might turn, etc.—Prayer can only be accepted when joined with the desire to turn from sin to God (Psalms 66:18; Proverbs 28:9).
