because of their trespass that they have trespassed against you.
009:008 Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes,
and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.
009:009 To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness; for we
have rebelled against him;
009:010 neither have we obeyed the voice of Yahweh our God, to walk
in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
009:011 Yes, all Israel have transgressed your law, even turning aside,
that they should not obey your voice: therefore has the curse
been poured out on us, and the oath that is written in the law
of Moses the servant of God; for we have sinned against him.
009:012 He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us,
and against our judges who judged us, by bringing on us
a great evil; for under the whole sky has not been done as has
been done on Jerusalem.
009:013 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come on us:
yet have we not entreated the favor of Yahweh our God,
that we should turn from our iniquities, and have discernment
in your truth.
009:014 Therefore has Yahweh watched over the evil, and brought it on us;
for Yahweh our God is righteous in all his works which he does,
and we have not obeyed his voice.
009:015 Now, Lord our God, who has brought your people forth out of
the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and have gotten you renown,
as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
009:016 Lord, according to all your righteousness, let your anger and
please let your wrath be turned away from your city Jerusalem,
your holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities
of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people are become a reproach
to all who are round about us.
009:017 Now therefore, our God, listen to the prayer of your servant,
and to his petitions, and cause your face to shine on your
sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.
009:018 My God, turn your ear, and hear; open your eyes, and see
our desolations, and the city which is called by your name:
for we do not present our petitions before you for our righteousness,
but for your great mercies' sake.
009:019 Lord, hear; Lord, forgive; Lord, listen and do; don't defer,
for your own sake, my God, because your city and your people
are called by your name.
009:020 While I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and
the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication
before Yahweh my God for the holy mountain of my God;
009:021 yes, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had
seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly,
touched me about the time of the evening offering.
