Contextual Overview

4I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed and said, "O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and extends lovingkindness toward those who love Him and keep His commandments, 5we have sinned and committed wrong, and have behaved wickedly and have rebelled, turning away from Your commandments and ordinances. 6"Further, we have not listened to and heeded Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our princes and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 7"Righteousness belongs to You, O Lord, but to us confusion and open shame, as it is this day—to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, those who are nearby and those who are far away, in all the countries to which You have driven them, because of the [treacherous] acts of unfaithfulness which they have committed against You. 8"O LORD, to us belong confusion and open shame—to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers—because we have sinned against You. 9"To the Lord our God belong mercy and lovingkindness and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against Him; 10and we have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God by walking in His laws which He set before us through His servants the prophets. 11"Yes, all Israel has transgressed Your law, even turning aside, not obeying Your voice; so the curse has been poured out on us and the oath which is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him. 12"And He has carried out completely His [threatening] words which He had spoken against us and against our rulers [the kings, princes, and judges] who ruled us, to bring on us a great tragedy; for under the whole heaven there has not been done anything [so dreadful] like that which [He commanded and] was done to Jerusalem. 13"Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this tragedy has come on us. Yet we have not wholeheartedly begged for forgiveness and sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our wickedness and paying attention to and placing value in Your truth.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Oh Señor, escucha ... - El lenguaje en este versículo no requiere ninguna explicación particular. La repetición, las formas variadas de expresión, indican una intención mental sobre el objeto; un corazón muy interesado; una seriedad que no se puede negar. Es un lenguaje respetuoso, solemne, devoto, pero profundamente serio. No es una repetición vana, porque su fuerza no está en las "palabras" empleadas, sino en el fervor manifiesto, la seriedad y la sinceridad del espíritu que impregna la súplica. Es una intercesión y una súplica sinceras que Dios escuche, que perdone, que escuche y haga, que no difiera su graciosa interposición. Los pecados del pueblo; la desolación de la ciudad; las promesas de Dios El reproche de que la nación estaba sufriendo: todo esto se precipita sobre el alma y suscita la más sincera súplica que tal vez surgió de los labios humanos.

Y estas cosas justificaban esa sincera súplica, porque la oración era la de un profeta, un hombre de Dios, un hombre que amaba a su país, un hombre que tenía la intención de promover la gloria divina como el objeto supremo de su vida. Tal intercesión sincera; tal confesión de pecado; Esta reflexión sobre los argumentos por los cuales se debe escuchar una oración es siempre aceptable para Dios; y aunque no se puede suponer que la Mente Divina necesita ser instruida, o que nuestros argumentos convencerán a Dios o lo influenciarán como lo hacen los hombres, sin embargo, es indudablemente apropiado instarlos como si lo hicieran, porque puede ser solo en este sentido. de manera que nuestras propias mentes puedan ser llevadas a un estado apropiado. El gran argumento que debemos instar por qué nuestras oraciones deben ser escuchadas es el sacrificio hecho por el Redentor por el pecado, y el hecho de que nos ha comprado las bendiciones que necesitamos; pero en relación con eso es apropiado instar a nuestros propios pecados y necesidades; las necesidades de nuestros amigos o nuestro país; nuestro propio peligro y el de los demás; la interposición de Dios en el pasado en nombre de su pueblo, y sus propias promesas y propósitos graciosos. Si tenemos el espíritu, la fe, la penitencia, la seriedad de Daniel, podemos estar seguros de que nuestras oraciones se escucharán como las de él.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verso 19. Tu ciudad y tu pueblo son llamados por tu nombre. La ciudad santa , la ciudad del gran Rey . Creo que es casi imposible que un hombre serio lea estas impresionantes y suplicantes palabras sin sentir una medida de la seriedad del profeta.
