Daniel 9:16

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.

Ver. 16. O Lord, according to all thy righteousness.] Not that of equity, but the other of fidelity. 1Jn 1:9

Thy holy mountain.] So Jerusalem is called, because dedicated to the Holy One; who also chose it for the seat of his royal resiance, the place of his holy oracle.

Thy people are a reproach.] And this reflecteth upon thee, as needs it must, since they do quarter arms with thee.
