Daniel 9:12-13

9:12 He has carried out his threats ⁷  against us and our rulers ⁸  who were over ⁹  us by bringing great calamity on us – what has happened to Jerusalem has never been equaled under all heaven! 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 ¹⁰  the LORD our God by turning back from our sin and by seeking wisdom ¹¹  from your reliable moral standards. ¹²
