Context — Daniel’s Prayer for His People

4And I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed, “O, Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant of loving devotion to those who love Him and keep His commandments, 5we have sinned and done wrong. We have acted wickedly and rebelled. We have turned away from Your commandments and ordinances.

6We have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, leaders, fathers, and all the people of the land.

7To You, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but this day we are covered with shame—the men of Judah, the people of Jerusalem, and all Israel near and far, in all the countries to which You have driven us because of our unfaithfulness to You. 8O LORD, we are covered with shame—our kings, our leaders, and our fathers—because we have sinned against You.

Daniel 9:6 Summary

In Daniel 9:6, the people are saying that they have not listened to God's prophets, who spoke His words to their leaders and families. This means they ignored God's warnings and messages, which is a form of rebellion against Him (as seen in Romans 6:16). To listen to God's servants the prophets is to obey His commandments and follow His will, as mentioned in John 14:15. By acknowledging their sin, the people are taking the first step towards repentance and turning back to God (as seen in 1 John 1:9).

Speaking in God's name, as mentioned in Daniel 9:6, means that the prophets were authorized representatives of God, speaking His words and declaring His will, as seen in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 and Jeremiah 1:9-10.

Gill's Exposition on Daniel 9:6

Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets,.... To their explanations of the laws and judgments of God; to their admonitions, reproofs, and counsels; these they did not attentively

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Daniel 9:6

Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Daniel 9:6

For God to send his prophets to his people was their high privilege, and the highest act of favour to them, and of his authority over them, for they were God’ s ambassadors, and came to them in the Lord’ s name; and therefore their sin and punishment was the greater. God’ s ambassadors have a large commission, and general instruction to speak in the name of their Lord with all authority, and without respect of persons. And this shows, 1. God’ s authority over all. 2. God’ s mercy towards all, of all sorts. 3. The aggravation of this sin, because it was of all sorts, as ,13 . Now the abuse of ambassadors hath by the law of nations ever been highly resented, :29-31.

Trapp's Commentary on Daniel 9:6

Daniel 9:6 Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.Ver. 6. Neither have we hearkened.] Sins of omission are in a special manner to be lamented in prayer; for as omission of diet breedeth diseases, so of duties.

Ellicott's Commentary on Daniel 9:6

(6) Neither have we hearkened.—The aggravation of guilt. All God’s warnings have been unheeded by high and low alike, by all to whom they were addressed.

Cambridge Bible on Daniel 9:6

6. The guilt is the greater, because Israel had been warned, but had not listened to the warning. neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets] A reminiscence of Jer 26:5; cf. Jeremiah 7:25; Jeremiah 25:4; Jeremiah 29:19; Jeremiah 35:15; Jeremiah 44:4 (all containing the expression ‘my servants the prophets,’ followed by ‘and ye (or they) hearkened not’). to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land] The same combination in Jeremiah 44:21; cf. ‘our fathers, our kings, and our princes,’ Jeremiah 44:17 : comp. Nehemiah 9:32; Nehemiah 9:34.

Barnes' Notes on Daniel 9:6

Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets - Who called upon us to turn from our sins; who made known the will of God, and who proclaimed that these judgments would come upon us if we did not repent.

Whedon's Commentary on Daniel 9:6

4-6. This is a model prayer, including adoration and praise, confession of sin, and petition for further mercies. (Compare Nehemiah’s prayer, Nehemiah 1:5-11.) The phraseology used is distinctly scriptural.
