aeSee Isa. 1:4-6
Leviticus 26:40-42
40“But if athey confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers in their treachery that they bcommitted against me, and also in walking contrary to me, 41so that I walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies—if then their cuncircumcised heart is dhumbled and they make amends for their iniquity, 42then I will eremember my covenant with Jacob, and I will remember my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will fremember the land.1 Kings 8:47-49
47yet gif they turn their heart in the land to which they have been carried captive, and repent and plead with you in the land of their captors, saying, h‘We have sinned and have acted perversely and wickedly,’ 48 iif they repent with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who carried them captive, and pray to you jtoward their land, which you gave to their fathers, the city that you have chosen, and the house that I have built for your name, 49then hear in heaven your dwelling place their prayer and their plea, and maintain their cause2 Chronicles 7:14
14if my people who are called by my name khumble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.Nehemiah 9:2-3
2 lAnd the Israelites ▼▼Hebrew the offspring of Israel
separated themselves from all foreigners and stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers. 3 nAnd they stood up in their place and read from the Book of the Law of the Lord their God for a quarter of the day; for another quarter of it they made confession and worshiped the Lord their God. Psalms 32:5
5 I oacknowledged my sin to you,and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I pwill confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
Daniel 9:5-12
5 qwe have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly rand rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules. 6 sWe have not listened to tyour servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to uour kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 7To you, vO Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us open shame, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, wthose who are near and xthose who are far away, in yall the lands to which you have driven them, because of zthe treachery that they have committed against you. 8To us, O Lord, belongs open shame, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because aawe have sinned against you. 9 abTo the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him 10 acand have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God by walking in his laws, which he set before us by adhis servants the prophets. 11 aeAll Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, afrefusing to obey your voice. agAnd the curse and oath ahthat are written in the Law of aiMoses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because ajwe have sinned against him. 12He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against akour rulers who ruled us, ▼▼Or our judges who judged us
by ambringing upon us a great calamity. anFor under the whole heaven there has not been done anything like what has been done against Jerusalem.
