Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Daniel 9:7

(7) Righteousness.—The absolute righteousness of God appears distinct and clear in spite of the chastisement from which the nation suffers. Meanwhile, the humble looks of the devout part of the nation show that it feels the present shame and confusion.All the countries.—See Isaiah 11:11-12.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Daniel 9:8

(8) Confusion of face.—Repeated from Daniel 9:7, so as to bring into stronger contrast the mercy of God (Daniel 9:9) with the righteousness” mentioned in Daniel 9:7.

We have seen already that such a person is unknown to history. The date, however, accords well in this instance with the... read more
