Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

MSG ^(1-8)“Darius, son of Ahasuerus, born a Mede, became king over the land of Babylon. In the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, was meditating on the Scriptures that gave, according to the Word of God to the prophet Jeremiah, the number of years that Jerusalem had to lie in ruins, namely, seventy. I turned to the Master God, asking for an answer—praying earnestly, fasting from meals, wearing rough penitential burlap, and kneeling in the ashes. I poured out my heart, baring my soul to God, my God:

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:1–27: Daniel asked God to help Jerusalem and received a message from Gabriel concerning seventy weeks

The vision recorded in this chapter occurred during the first year of the reign of Darius (538 B.C.). Thirteen years had therefore passed since Daniel received the vision described in chapter 8. Daniel was now more than eighty years old.

Daniel had read in the book of Jeremiah that God’s people would remain in exile and serve the king of Babylon for seventy years (Jeremiah 25:11). During that time the city of Jerusalem would remain in ruins. However, God had promised to bring his people back to the land of Judah after the seventy years were over (Jeremiah 29:10). Now Daniel realized that the seventy-year period was almost at an end. He prayed for his people and for Jerusalem. In response, God sent the angel Gabriel to reveal what would happen in the future.

Paragraph 9:7–10

Daniel recognized that the shame and disgrace felt by the people of Israel was due to their disobedience to God.

9:8a

O LORD, we are covered with shame—our kings, our leaders, and our fathers—

Yahweh, we^(excl) and our kings, our rulers and our ancestors are all ashamed/disgraced
We have all been put to shame/disgrace, we and our rulers and our ancestors.

O LORD, we are covered with shame—our kings, our leaders, and our fathers: This verse part adds to or expands the idea of 9:7b, that the people of Israel were ashamed and humiliated. The same idiom “shame of face” is used. This repetition emphasizes the idea. Other way to indicate this emphasis include:

Lord, we are all ashamed. Our kings and leaders and our fathers are ashamed (NCV)

Yes, Yahweh, our faces and covered with shame. Even our kings, our rulers, and our ancestors are disgraced/humiliated.

9:8b

because we have sinned against You.

because we^(excl) have sinned against you.
This has happened because we have sinned against you.

because we have sinned against You: This clause gives the reason why the people of Israel were all covered with shame. They had sinned against Yahweh.
