9:1 In
the
first
year
of
Darius,
son
of
Ahasuerus,
of
the
seed
of
the
Medes,
who
hath
been
made
king
over
the
kingdom
of
the
Chaldeans,
9:2 in
the
first
year
of
his
reign,
I,
Daniel,
have
understood
by
books
the
number
of
the
years,
(in
that
a
word
of
Jehovah
hath
been
unto
Jeremiah
the
prophet,)
concerning
the
fulfilling
of
the
wastes
of
Jerusalem--seventy
years;
9:3 and
I
set
my
face
unto
the
Lord
God,
to
seek
[by]
prayer
and
supplications,
with
fasting,
and
sackcloth,
and
ashes.
9:4 And
I
pray
to
Jehovah
my
God,
and
confess,
and
say:
`I
beseech
Thee,
O
Lord
God,
the
great
and
the
fearful,
keeping
the
covenant
and
the
kindness
to
those
loving
Him,
and
to
those
keeping
His
commands;
9:5 we
have
sinned,
and
done
perversely,
and
done
wickedly,
and
rebelled,
to
turn
aside
from
Thy
commands,
and
from
Thy
judgments:
9:6 and
we
have
not
hearkened
unto
Thy
servants,
the
prophets,
who
have
spoken
in
Thy
name
unto
our
kings,
our
heads,
and
our
fathers,
and
to
all
the
people
of
the
land.
9:7 `To
Thee,
O
Lord,
[is]
the
righteousness,
and
to
us
the
shame
of
face,
as
[at]
this
day,
to
the
men
of
Judah,
and
to
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
and
to
all
Israel,
who
are
near,
and
who
are
far
off,
in
all
the
lands
whither
Thou
hast
driven
them,
in
their
trespass
that
they
have
trespassed
against
Thee.
9:8 `O
Lord,
to
us
[is]
the
shame
of
face,
to
our
kings,
to
our
heads,
and
to
our
fathers,
in
that
we
have
sinned
against
Thee.
9:9 `To
the
Lord
our
God
[are]
the
mercies
and
the
forgivenesses,
for
we
have
rebelled
against
Him,
9:10 and
have
not
hearkened
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah
our
God,
to
walk
in
His
laws,
that
He
hath
set
before
us
by
the
hand
of
His
servants
the
prophets;
9:11 and
all
Israel
have
transgressed
Thy
law,
to
turn
aside
so
as
not
to
hearken
to
Thy
voice;
and
poured
on
us
is
the
execration,
and
the
oath,
that
is
written
in
the
law
of
Moses,
servant
of
God,
because
we
have
sinned
against
Him.
9:12 `And
He
confirmeth
His
words
that
He
hath
spoken
against
us,
and
against
our
judges
who
have
judged
us,
to
bring
in
upon
us
great
evil,
in
that
it
hath
not
been
done
under
the
whole
heavens
as
it
hath
been
done
in
Jerusalem,
9:13 as
it
is
written
in
the
law
of
Moses,
all
this
evil
hath
come
upon
us,
and
we
have
not
appeased
the
face
of
Jehovah
our
God
to
turn
back
from
our
iniquities,
and
to
act
wisely
in
Thy
truth.
9:14 And
Jehovah
doth
watch
for
the
evil,
and
bringeth
it
upon
us,
for
righteous
[is]
Jehovah
our
God
concerning
all
His
works
that
He
hath
done,
and
we
have
not
hearkened
to
His
voice.
9:15 And
now,
O
Lord
our
God,
who
hast
brought
forth
Thy
people
from
the
land
of
Egypt
by
a
strong
hand,
and
dost
make
for
Thee
a
name
as
at
this
day,
we
have
sinned,
we
have
done
wickedly.
9:16 `O
Lord,
according
to
all
Thy
righteous
acts,
let
turn
back,
I
pray
Thee,
Thine
anger
and
Thy
fury
from
Thy
city
Jerusalem,
Thy
holy
mount,
for
by
our
sins,
and
by
the
iniquities
of
our
fathers,
Jerusalem
and
Thy
people
[are]
for
a
reproach
to
all
our
neighbours;
9:17 and
now,
hearken,
O
our
God,
unto
the
prayer
of
Thy
servant,
and
unto
his
supplication,
and
cause
Thy
face
to
shine
on
Thy
sanctuary
that
[is]
desolate,
for
the
Lord's
sake.
9:18 `Incline,
O
my
God,
Thine
ear,
and
hear,
open
Thine
eyes
and
see
our
desolations,
and
the
city
on
which
Thy
name
is
called;
for
not
for
our
righteous
acts
are
we
causing
our
supplications
to
fall
before
Thee,
but
for
Thy
mercies
that
[are]
many.
9:19 O
lord,
hear,
O
Lord,
forgive;
O
Lord,
attend
and
do;
do
not
delay,
for
Thine
own
sake,
O
my
God,
for
Thy
name
is
called
on
Thy
city,
and
on
Thy
people.'
9:20 And
while
I
am
speaking,
and
praying,
and
confessing
my
sin,
and
the
sin
of
my
people
Israel,
and
causing
my
supplication
to
fall
before
Jehovah
my
God,
for
the
holy
mount
of
my
God,
9:21 yea,
while
I
am
speaking
in
prayer,
then
that
one
Gabriel,
whom
I
had
seen
in
vision
at
the
commencement,
being
caused
to
fly
swiftly,
is
coming
unto
me
at
the
time
of
the
evening
present.
9:22 And
he
giveth
understanding,
and
speaketh
with
me,
and
saith,
`O
Daniel,
now
I
have
come
forth
to
cause
thee
to
consider
understanding
wisely;
9:23 at
the
commencement
of
thy
supplications
hath
the
word
come
forth,
and
I
have
come
to
declare
[it]
,
for
thou
[art]
greatly
desired,
and
understand
thou
concerning
the
matter,
and
consider
concerning
the
appearance.
9:24 `Seventy
weeks
are
determined
for
thy
people,
and
for
thy
holy
city,
to
shut
up
the
transgression,
and
to
seal
up
sins,
and
to
cover
iniquity,
and
to
bring
in
righteousness
age-during,
and
to
seal
up
vision
and
prophet,
and
to
anoint
the
holy
of
holies.
9:25 And
thou
dost
know,
and
dost
consider
wisely,
from
the
going
forth
of
the
word
to
restore
and
to
build
Jerusalem
till
Messiah
the
Leader
[is]
seven
weeks,
and
sixty
and
two
weeks:
the
broad
place
hath
been
built
again,
and
the
rampart,
even
in
the
distress
of
the
times.
9:26 And
after
the
sixty
and
two
weeks,
cut
off
is
Messiah,
and
the
city
and
the
holy
place
are
not
his,
the
Leader
who
hath
come
doth
destroy
the
people;
and
its
end
[is]
with
a
flood,
and
till
the
end
[is]
war,
determined
[
are]
desolations.
9:27 And
he
hath
strengthened
a
covenant
with
many--one
week,
and
[in]
the
midst
of
the
week
he
causeth
sacrifice
and
present
to
cease,
and
by
the
wing
of
abominations
he
is
making
desolate,
even
till
the
consummation,
and
that
which
is
determined
is
poured
on
the
desolate
one.'
