Daniel 9:11-14

God had poured out curses on His people because of these sins (Daniel 9:11 b). He had done what He had promised He would do if Israel departed from Him (Daniel 9:12; cf. Deuteronomy 28:15-68). Moses had warned the Israelites about departing from God, yet His people had not sought His favor by repenting (Daniel 9:13). Therefore, calamity had descended on them, since Yahweh is righteous in all His deeds. In contrast, Israel had disobeyed His voice (Daniel 9:14). In this section of his prayer, the prophet glorified God for dealing justly with His people who, Daniel acknowledged, deserved all the punishment they had received.
