Daniel 9:5-8
we have sinned, done wrong, acted wickedly, rebelled, and turned away from Your commands and ordinances.We 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.Lord, righteousness belongs to You, but this day public shame belongs to us: the men of Judah, the residents of Jerusalem, and all Israel— those who are near and those who are far, in all the countries where You have dispersed them because of the disloyalty they have shown toward You.Lord, public shame belongs to us, our kings, our leaders, and our fathers, because we have sinned against You.

Luke 15:18-21
I’ll get up, go to my father, and say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.I’m no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired hands.’So he got up and went to his father. But while the son was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him.The son said to him,‘ Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I’m no longer worthy to be called your son.’

Psalms 106:6-48
Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have done wrong and have acted wickedly.Our fathers in Egypt did not grasp the significance of Your wonderful works or remember Your many acts of faithful love; instead, they rebelled by the sea— the Red Sea.Yet He saved them because of His name, to make His power known.He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; He led them through the depths as through a desert.He saved them from the hand of the adversary; He redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.Water covered their foes; not one of them remained.Then they believed His promises and sang His praise.They soon forgot His works and would not wait for His counsel.They were seized with craving in the wilderness and tested God in the desert.He gave them what they asked for, but sent a wasting disease among them.In the camp they were envious of Moses and of Aaron, the Lord’s holy one.The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it covered the assembly of Abiram.Fire blazed throughout their assembly; flames consumed the wicked.At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped the cast metal image.They exchanged their glory for the image of a grass-eating ox.They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt,wonderful works in the land of Ham, awe-inspiring acts at the Red Sea.So He said He would have destroyed them— if Moses His chosen one had not stood before Him in the breach to turn His wrath away from destroying them.They despised the pleasant land and did not believe His promise.They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the Lord’s voice.So He raised His hand against them with an oath that He would make them fall in the desertand would disperse their descendants among the nations, scattering them throughout the lands.They aligned themselves with Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods.They provoked the Lord with their deeds, and a plague broke out against them.But Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was stopped.It was credited to him as righteousness throughout all generations to come.They angered the Lord at the waters of Meribah, and Moses suffered because of them;for they embittered his spirit, and he spoke rashly with his lips.They did not destroy the peoples as the Lord had commanded thembut mingled with the nations and adopted their ways.They served their idols, which became a snare to them.They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons.They shed innocent blood— the blood of their sons and daughters whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; so the land became polluted with blood.They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds.Therefore the Lord’s anger burned against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance.He handed them over to the nations; those who hated them ruled them.Their enemies oppressed them, and they were subdued under their power.He rescued them many times, but they continued to rebel deliberately and were beaten down by their sin.When He heard their cry, He took note of their distress,remembered His covenant with them, and relented according to the riches of His faithful love.He caused them to be pitied before all their captors.Save us, Yahweh our God, and gather us from the nations, so that we may give thanks to Your holy name and rejoice in Your praise.May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say,“ Amen!” Hallelujah!

Leviticus 26:40-42
“ But if they will confess their sin and the sin of their fathers— their unfaithfulness that they practiced against Me, and how they acted with hostility toward Me,and I acted with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies— and if their uncircumcised hearts will be humbled, and if they will pay the penalty for their sin,then I will remember My covenant with Jacob. I will also remember My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.

And I said: My God, I am ashamed and embarrassed to lift my face toward You, my God, because our iniquities are higher than our heads and our guilt is as high as the heavens.Our guilt has been terrible from the days of our fathers until the present. Because of our iniquities we have been handed over, along with our kings and priests, to the surrounding kings, and to the sword, captivity, plundering, and open shame, as it is today.
