The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
DAN 9:4 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and
said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy
to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
DAN 9:5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done
wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and
from thy judgments:
DAN 9:6 Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which
spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all
the people of the land.
DAN 9:7 O LORD, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us
