Daniel prays to his God and, in line with the collective guilt complex from the Tenach, calls out that all the calamities of the people of Israel are completely justified. "O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and mercy with those who love you and keep your commandments! We have sinned and done wrong, we have acted wickedly and rebelled; we have turned aside from your commandments and your statutes, and have not listened to your servants the prophets who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, our fathers, and to all the people of the land. To you, Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us shameful countenance." (Daniel 9:4-7)
