Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 9:13

13 As it is written in the law of Moses , all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.

Lev. 26.14. to ver. 40. The sum of all this, as the Lord threatned and forewarned us long ago, so is it come to pass this day upon us, because we took no warning, we understood not, but sinned and returned not. The Lord is true and just in all that is come upon us: chiefly because we have not made our prayer unto God to prevent our Misery before it came upon us, nor to remove it when it lay heavy on us. See it in Ezekiel, who prophesied in the Captivity, and how they received him: and though they kept a formal Fast, yet what did that signifie? Zech. 7.5, 6, 7.
