What does Daniel 9:11 mean?

This is part of Daniel's prayer of confession (Daniel 9:3–4). This is corporate confession: on behalf of Israel. Daniel is not associated with a particular sin, let alone something as drastic as idolatry (Daniel 1:8; 6:5). However, he fully identifies with his people using terms such as "we" and "our." Daniel confessed that Israel was guilty of widespread sin and rebellion. He will later admit that he is not perfect (Daniel 9:20). God had promised consequences for Israel's national sins; Daniel's own experiences were part of the fulfillment of those prophecies (2 Kings 17:1–8; Jeremiah 25:7–11; Daniel 1:1–7).

In the Law of Moses—the first five books of the Jewish Scriptures—God clearly stated what would happen if Israel betrayed their true Lord and followed evil. Moses was explicit about the blessings coming to a faithful people (Deuteronomy 28:1–6). He was just as blunt about the terrible results that would follow disobedience (Deuteronomy 28:15–24, 48–50; 29:25). Through Moses, the Lord warned: "And as the LORD took delight in doing you good and multiplying you, so the LORD will take delight in bringing ruin upon you and destroying you. And you shall be plucked off the land that you are entering to take possession of it. And the LORD will scatter you among all peoples" (Deuteronomy 28:63–64). This was fulfilled in the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities.
