Daniel 9:13

9:13 Just as it is written in the law of Moses, so all this calamity has come on us. Still we have not tried to pacify ⁴  the LORD our God by turning back from our sin and by seeking wisdom ⁵  from your reliable moral standards. ⁶ 

[9:14]  ¹ tn Or “righteous.”

[9:14]  ² tn Heb “in all his deeds which he has done.”

[9:14]  ³ tn Heb “we have not listened to his voice.”

[9:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “we have not pacified the face of.”

[9:13]  ⁵ tn Or “by gaining insight.”
