Daniel 9:17-19

Lexham English Bible

¹⁷ “And now, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his pleas for mercy. Shine^[a] your face upon your desolate sanctuary for your sake, O Lord.^{[b] 18} Incline your ear, my God, and listen; open your eyes and look at our desolation and the city that is called by your name, for we are not presenting our pleas for mercy before you^[c] because of our righteousness, but rather because of your great compassion. ¹⁹ Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, pay heed and act! You must not delay for your sake,^[d] my God; because your city and your people are called by your name.”^[e]
