Daniel 9:8
6 We have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, leaders, and fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7 To You, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but this day we are covered with shame—the men of Judah, the people of Jerusalem, and all Israel near and far, in all the countries to which You have driven us because of our unfaithfulness to You.
O LORD, we are covered with shame—our kings, our leaders, and our fathers—because we have sinned against You.
9 To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, even though we have rebelled against Him
10 and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God to walk in His laws, which He set before us through His servants the prophets.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
