Daniel 9:7

To thee, O Lord, belongeth righteousness, but, to us, the shame of faces, as at this day,—to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, the near and the far off, throughout all the lands whither thou hast driven them, in their treachery, wherewith they had been treacherous against thee.
