Daniel 9:7

9:7 “You are righteous, ³  O Lord, but we are humiliated this day ⁴  – the people ⁵  of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far away in all the countries in which you have scattered them, because they have behaved unfaithfully toward you.

Daniel 9:16

[9:13]  ¹ tn Heb “held back downwards from”; KJV “hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve” (NIV, NRSV, NLT all similar).

[9:33]  ² tn Heb “you have done truth.”

[9:7]  ³ tn Heb “to you (belongs) righteousness.”

[9:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “and to us (belongs) shame of face like this day.”

[9:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “men.”

[9:16]  ⁶ tn Or “righteousness.”

[9:16]  ⁷ 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”).
