Ezra 9:7
9:7 From the days of our fathers until this very day our guilt has been great. Because of our iniquities we, along with our kings and
priests, have been delivered over by the local kings
to sword, captivity, plunder, and embarrassment – right up to the present time.
Psalms 106:6
106:6 We have sinned like our ancestors;
we have done wrong, we have done evil.
Jeremiah 13:23
13:23 But there is little hope for you ever doing good,
you who are so accustomed to doing evil.
Can an Ethiopian change the color of his skin?
Can a leopard remove its spots?
Daniel 9:16
9:16 O Lord, according to all your justice,
please turn your raging anger
away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain. For due to our sins and the iniquities of our ancestors, Jerusalem and your people are mocked by all our neighbors.
