Daniel 9:14-16

Contemporary English Version

¹⁴ And when you finally punished us with this horrible disaster, that was also the right thing to do, because we deserved it so much.

^15 (A) Our Lord God, with your own mighty arm you rescued us from Egypt and made yourself famous to this very day, but we have sinned terribly. ¹⁶ In the past, you treated us with such kindness, that we now beg you to stop being so terribly angry with Jerusalem. After all, it is your chosen city built on your holy mountain, even though it has suffered public disgrace because of our sins and those of our ancestors.
