Consider the effect of the fall of Babylon upon one who, like
Daniel, saw in it a fulfilment of prophecy (verse 2; cf. Je. 25:11; 29:10-14;
50:1-5). What did it lead him to do (cf. Ezk. 36:37), and what light do verses
2 and 3 throw upon the use of Scripture in our praying?

As you read through Daniel’s prayer, how would you describe his
praying? See especially verses 3 and 19. In his confession, how does he speak
of God? How of himself and his people? In his petition, on what does he base
his plea for mercy, and for what does he ask?
