If integrated into the book of Daniel: 3.30

Good News Translation and New American Bible, following one printed Greek text, begin this verse with the line translated “and have not obeyed thy commandments” in verse 6. This has the verse making three almost synonymous statements: We did not obey, observe, or do your commandments. Good News Translation reads “We did not do the things that you commanded us to do.” The sense and intended effect might be closer to “We did not obey your commands; we ignored them completely.”

As thou hast commanded us that it might go well with us: The rather involved grammar here is neatly straightened out in Good News Translation: “If we had obeyed your laws, we would have prospered.” In languages that do not have the passive voice, the final clause may be rendered “you would have caused us to prosper.”

An alternative translation model for this verse is:

• We did not obey your commands;
we ignored them.
If we had obeyed them,
you would have caused us to prosper.
