“Therefore hath the Lord watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the Lord our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.”
"Therefore the Lord has kept the calamity in store and brought it upon us; for the Lord our God is righteous in all the works which he has done, and we have not obeyed his voice"—affirming God's righteous character demonstrated through judgment and accepting the equation between disobedience and consequence. The phrase "kept in store" emphasizes the deliberate and measured nature of judgment, executed at appointed time. Complete vindication of God's righteousness establishes the ethical foundation for Daniel's intercession.
