1 In one year to Darius son of Ahasuerus, from the seed of Media who reigned over the kingdom of the Chaldeans. 2 In one year to the kingdom, I Daniel understood by books the number of years which the word of Jehovah was to Jeremiah the prophet, to fill up for the desolations of Jerusalem seventy years. 3 And I will give my face to Jehovah God to seek prayer and supplications, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes: 4 And I will pray to Jehovah my God, and I will confess and say, Ah, Jehovah, the great and dreadful God, watching the covenant and the mercy to those loving him, and to those watching his commands: 5 We sinned, and we did iniquity, and were evil, and rebelled, and departing from thy commands and from thy judgments. 6 And we heard not to thy servants the prophets who spake in thy name to our kings and our chiefs and our fathers, and to all the people of the earth. Daniel 9:1-6, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
