After Daniel 9:1-9 

What the old man

confessed in his prayer:

wickedness, rebellion,

ignoring the prophets,

treachery, disobedience,

turning from the law,

refusing to concede

sins, willful ignoring

of the call to confess,

and doing all this

for generations.

 

What the old man

asked in his prayer:

mercy, and

a return home.
