14. Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice. 

15. And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly. 

16. O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us. 

"yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might (turn from our iniquities*), and (understand thy truth^)."

The answer to this problem; "for from the first day that thou didst (set thine heart to understand^), and to (chasten thyself before thy God*), thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words." "I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth"

 Daniel 14-16 of Chapter 9 are referencing the times of the destruction of Jerusalem at the end of the first century A.D, although, its relevance to us in the 21st century is not to be underestimated!
