These things happened during the first year Darius son of Xerxes was king over Babylon. He was a descendant of the Medes. During his first year of rule, I, Daniel, was studying the Scriptures and noticed that according to the word YAHWEH had revealed to the prophet Jeremiah, seventy years must pass while Jerusalem lay in ruins. Then I turned my heart to the Lord God, seeking an answer from him, pleading for mercy with fasting, wearing sackcloth, and sitting among ashes. I prayed to YAHWEH, my God, and made this confession: “My Lord, you are the great and awesome God who faithfully keeps your covenant of love with those who love you and keep your commands. Yet we have sinned, acted wickedly, and done evil; we have rebelled and turned aside from your laws and commands. We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who prophesied in your name to our kings, our leaders, our fathers, and all the people of the land.
