Daniel 9:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ You, O Lord our God, were prepared to punish us, and you did, because you always do what is right, and we did not listen to you.

^15 (A)“O Lord our God, you showed your power by bringing your people out of Egypt, and your power is still remembered. We have sinned; we have done wrong. ¹⁶ You have defended us in the past, so do not be angry with Jerusalem any longer. It is your city, your sacred hill.^[a] All the people in the neighboring countries look down on Jerusalem and on your people because of our sins and the evil our ancestors did.
