The devastation that befell Jerusalem also prompted Daniel to adopt a similar posture: “So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes” (Daniel 9:3).
Uharibifu ulioipata Yerusalemu pia ulimfanya Danieli kuchukua mtindo huo: "Nikamwelekezea Bwana Mungu uso wangu, ili kutaka kwa maombi, na dua, pomoja na kufunga, na kuvaa nguo za magunia na majivu" (Danieli 9:3).
