This name emphasizes God's eternal existence and His covenant relationship with Israel. It is a reminder of His sovereignty and faithfulness, even when His people are unfaithful.<p><b>has kept the calamity in store</b><br />The Hebrew word for "calamity" is "ra'ah," which can mean evil, disaster, or adversity. The phrase suggests that God, in His omniscience, has allowed the consequences of Israel's disobedience to unfold. This is not a capricious act but a fulfillment of the covenant warnings given in the Law (Deuteronomy 28). It underscores the principle of divine justice and the certainty of God's word.<p><b>and brought it upon us</b><br />This indicates the active role of God in the unfolding of historical events. The calamity is not random but is brought by God as a direct response to the people's actions. It reflects the biblical theme that God is involved in the affairs of nations and individuals, guiding history according to His purposes.<p><b>for the LORD our God is righteous</b><br />The term "righteous" in Hebrew is "tsaddiq," which conveys the idea of being just, right, and morally pure. God's righteousness is a central theme in Scripture, highlighting His perfect nature and His commitment to justice. This righteousness is the standard by which He judges the world, and it assures believers of His fair and equitable dealings.<p><b>in all His deeds which He has done</b><br />This phrase emphasizes the consistency and integrity of God's actions. Everything God does is in alignment with His righteous character. It reassures believers that even when circumstances are difficult, God's actions are always just and purposeful.<p><b>but we have not obeyed His voice</b><br />The Hebrew word for "obeyed" is "shama," which means to hear, listen, or give heed. This phrase highlights the failure of the people to respond to God's commands and warnings. It is a confession of sin and a recognition of the breach in the covenant relationship. This acknowledgment is crucial for repentance and restoration.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/daniel/9.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(14) <span class= "bld">Watched.</span>--By the use of this word it seems that Daniel is again referring to the prophecies of Jeremiah. (See <a href="/jeremiah/1-12.htm" title="Then said the LORD to me, You have well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.">Jeremiah 1:12</a>, &c.) He prays that as all the curses foretold by that prophet have been poured upon the nation, so also the release from the Captivity, which was also promised by him, may be accomplished also.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/daniel/9.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 14.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Therefore hath the Lord watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the Lord our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not</span> <span class="cmt_word">his voice.</span> The Greek versions agree with this, save that the LXX. has "Lord God" in the first case as well as the second. The Peshitta, when one remembers the different division of the verses, is also identical. There is an obvious resemblance here to <a href="/jeremiah/44-27.htm">Jeremiah 44:27</a>, "Behold, I am watching over you for evil, and not for good." The verb <span class="accented">shaqad is</span> somewhat rare, occurring only twelve times in Scripture, and five of these times in Jeremiah. It is not always an evil watching; in <a href="/jeremiah/31-28.htm">Jeremiah 31:28</a> the two meanings are contrasted. Then follows an acknowledgment of the righteousness of God in so dealing with them Bar. 2:9 is really a version of this verse; the original Hebrew would be almost identical. There are few indications which, did this verse stand alone, would enable one to decide which is the more primitive. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/daniel/9-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Therefore the LORD</span><br /><span class="heb">יְהוָה֙</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
