It sets the standard against which human actions are measured and highlights the divine nature of God as the ultimate judge.but this day we are covered with shame The shame mentioned here is a result of sin and disobedience. In the context of Daniel, this refers to the Israelites' failure to uphold the covenant with God, leading to their exile. Shame is a recurring theme in the Bible, often associated with sin and separation from God, as seen in <a href="/genesis/3-7.htm">Genesis 3:7-10</a> after the fall of Adam and Eve.the men of Judah, the people of Jerusalem, and all Israel near and far This phrase encompasses the entire nation of Israel, both the southern kingdom of Judah and the northern kingdom of Israel. It reflects the unity of the people in their shared guilt and consequences of sin. Historically, the division of the kingdoms occurred after Solomon's reign, but in exile, their shared identity as God's people is emphasized.in all the countries to which You have driven us This refers to the Babylonian exile, a pivotal event in Jewish history. The exile was a direct consequence of Israel's unfaithfulness, as prophesied in <a href="/deuteronomy/28-64.htm">Deuteronomy 28:64</a>. The dispersion of the Israelites among various nations fulfilled God's warnings and served as a period of reflection and repentance.because of our unfaithfulness to You Unfaithfulness here denotes the breaking of the covenant relationship with God through idolatry and disobedience. This theme is prevalent in the prophetic books, where prophets like Jeremiah and Ezekiel call the people to repentance.

In the midst of his sorrow for the past, the mind of the prophet recurs unconsciously to the great promise of future deliverance by "the root of Jesse."<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/daniel/9.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 7, 8. - O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them. because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee. O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. The versions are all very close to the Massoretic text. The most important variation is Theodotion's repetition of the first clause of ver. 7 at the beginning of ver. 8. Neither of the English versions brings out the contrast in the Hebrew of the second clause of ver. 7; it is "man," not "men," of Judah. This contrast is observed by Theodotion and Jerome, but not by the LXX. or the Peshitta. These two verses have a strong resemblance to Bar. 1:15, 16, "And ye shall say, To our God belongeth righteousness, but unto us the confusion of faces, as it is come to pass this day to man of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to our kings, and to our princes, and to our priests, and to our prophets, and to our fathers." This confession is introduced into the text of Baruch as a quotation. The captives on the river Lud send money to Jerusalem for offerings and sacrifices, and with the money send certain advices. As the circumstances in which the Baruch version purports to be written do not so naturally suit the words used, we can, we think, have no difficulty in recognizing that it is not the primitive recension. The words have the look of a liturgic prayer. The relationship between the present passage and Jeremiah is close; "confusion of face" occurs in <a href="/jeremiah/7-19.htm">Jeremiah 7:19</a> as well as <a href="/ezra/9-7.htm">Ezra 9:7</a>. The most marked case is the collocation, "man of Judah, and inbabitants of Jerusalem." This phrase is frequent in Jeremiah; e.g <a href="/jeremiah/4-4.htm">Jeremiah 4:4</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/11-2.htm">Jeremiah 11:2</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/17-25.htm">Jeremiah 17:25</a>. There is also a resemblance to Ezekiel in the phrase, "their trespass that they have trespassed against thee;" e.g. <a href="/ezekiel/15-8.htm">Ezekiel 15:8</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/20-27.htm">Ezekiel 20:27</a>. The language thus is in strict dramatic suitability to one who has just been studying the prophets of the Captivity. To our kings, to oar princes. This could not be used naturally after the date of Daniel. To him who remembered kings and princes in Judah and Jerusalem, this language is natural. In the age of Epiphanes it would be absurd and meaningless. The phrase is used in the liturgic prayer in Nehemiah, because there is a narrative of the history of the people. When we compare the Psalter of Solomon, we find the only King of Israel is God: yet Alexander Jannseus, who was not long dead when that Psalter was written, had assumed the crown; and his sons had competed for the possession of it. <a href="/commentaries/daniel/9-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>To You, לְךָ֤ (lə·ḵā) Preposition | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> O Lord, אֲדֹנָי֙ (’ă·ḏō·nāy) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_136.htm">Strong's 136: </a> The Lord [belongs] righteousness, הַצְּדָקָ֔ה (haṣ·ṣə·ḏā·qāh) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6666.htm">Strong's 6666: </a> Rightness, subjectively, objectively but this הַזֶּ֑ה (haz·zeh) Article | Pronoun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2088.htm">Strong's 2088: </a> This, that day כַּיּ֣וֹם (kay·yō·wm) Preposition-k, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day we are covered הַפָּנִ֖ים (hap·pā·nîm) Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6440.htm">Strong's 6440: </a> The face with shame— בֹּ֥שֶׁת (bō·šeṯ) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1322.htm">Strong's 1322: </a> Shame, shameful thing the men לְאִ֤ישׁ (lə·’îš) Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_376.htm">Strong's 376: </a> A man as an individual, a male person of Judah, יְהוּדָה֙ (yə·hū·ḏāh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3063.htm">Strong's 3063: </a> Judah -- 'praised', a son of Jacob, also the southern kingdom, also four Israelites the people וּלְיוֹשְׁבֵ֣י (ū·lə·yō·wō·šə·ḇê) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3427.htm">Strong's 3427: </a> To sit down, to dwell, to remain, to settle, to marry of Jerusalem, יְרֽוּשָׁלִַ֔ם (yə·rū·šā·lim) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3389.htm">Strong's 3389: </a> Jerusalem -- probably 'foundation of peace', capital city of all Israel and all וּֽלְכָל־ (ū·lə·ḵāl-) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every Israel, יִשְׂרָאֵ֞ל (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc near הַקְּרֹבִ֣ים (haq·qə·rō·ḇîm) Article | Adjective - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7138.htm">Strong's 7138: </a> Near and far, וְהָרְחֹקִ֗ים (wə·hā·rə·ḥō·qîm) Conjunctive waw, Article | Adjective - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7350.htm">Strong's 7350: </a> Remote, of place, time, precious in all בְּכָל־ (bə·ḵāl) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every the countries הָֽאֲרָצוֹת֙ (hā·’ă·rā·ṣō·wṯ) Article | Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land to which אֲשֶׁ֣ר (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that You have driven us הִדַּחְתָּ֣ם (hid·daḥ·tām) Verb - Hifil - Perfect - second person masculine singular | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5080.htm">Strong's 5080: </a> To impel, thrust, banish because of our unfaithfulness בְּמַעֲלָ֖ם (bə·ma·‘ă·lām) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4604.htm">Strong's 4604: </a> An unfaithful or treacherous act to You. מָֽעֲלוּ־ (mā·‘ă·lū-) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4603.htm">Strong's 4603: </a> To cover up, to act covertly, treacherously <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/daniel/9-7.htm">Daniel 9:7 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/daniel/9-7.htm">Daniel 9:7 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/daniel/9-7.htm">Daniel 9:7 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/daniel/9-7.htm">Daniel 9:7 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/daniel/9-7.htm">Daniel 9:7 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/daniel/9-7.htm">Daniel 9:7 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/daniel/9-7.htm">Daniel 9:7 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/daniel/9-7.htm">Daniel 9:7 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/daniel/9-7.htm">Daniel 9:7 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/daniel/9-7.htm">Daniel 9:7 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/daniel/9-7.htm">OT Prophets: Daniel 9:7 Lord righteousness belongs to you (Dan.
