Daniel 9:8

9:8 O LORD, we have been humiliated ¹  – our kings, our leaders, and our ancestors – because we have sinned against you.

Daniel 9:16

9:16 O Lord, according to all your justice, ²  please turn your raging anger ³  away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain. For due to our sins and the iniquities of our ancestors, Jerusalem and your people are mocked by all our neighbors.

[9:8]  ¹ tn Heb “to us (belongs) shame of face.”

[9:16]  ² tn Or “righteousness.”

[9:16]  ³ tn Heb “your anger and your rage.” The synonyms are joined here to emphasize the degree of God’s anger. This is best expressed in English by making one of the terms adjectival (cf. NLT “your furious anger”; CEV “terribly angry”).
