SCRIPTURE

"O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of face, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee." — Daniel 9:7 (ASV)

O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.

This verse might be just as truly spoken now as in the first year of Darius, the Mede, for we also can say, O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee; we cannot find it anywhere else. And the other part of the verse is equally true, for to us belongs confusion of faces, as it did to the men of Daniel's day.
