Nehemiah, 9

28. "As soon as they had relief, they would go back to doing evil in your sight. Then again you abandoned them to the power of their enemies, who crushed them. Then they cried out to you, and you heard them from heaven and delivered them according to your mercy, many times over.

Deuteronomy 32:3-4: "For I will appeal to the name of the Lord; Give glory to our God. He is the rock, whose work is perfect, because all his righteous ways are. God is faithful, who has no iniquity; straight is him. " In this verse, Moses exalts God's faithfulness and righteousness, themes that are reinforced in the prayer of the Levites in Nehemiah 9.

Psalm 106:6: "Let us sin like our parents; we commit iniquity, we practice wickedness." This psalm portrays the story of Israel and its sins against God, a theme that is remembered in the prayer of confession of the Levites in Nehemiah 9.

Isaiah 53:6: "All of us, as sheep we divert; each one turned to his own way; and the Lord has dropped upon him the iniquity of us all." This verse highlights the sinful nature of humanity and the need for confession and repentance, which are elements present in the prayer of the Levites in Nehemiah 9.

Jeremiah 31:33: "But this is the covenant that I will do with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord, I shall put my law within, and write it into His heart; and I will be your God and they will be my people. " This verse speaks of the covenant that God has established with Israel and which is reaffirmed in the prayer of the Levites in Nehemiah 9.

Daniel 9:4: "And I prayed to the Lord, my God, and confessed, and said, Ah! Lord! Great and tremendous God, who keeps the covenant and mercy toward those who love you and keep your commandments." This verse portrays Daniel's confession through Israel's sins and his appeal to God's mercy, themes that are also addressed in the prayer of the Levites in Nehemiah 9.





“O Senhor sempre orienta e chama; mas não se quer segui-lo e responder-lhe, pois só se vê os próprios interesses. Às vezes, pelo fato de se ouvir sempre a Sua voz, ninguém mais se apercebe dela; mas o Senhor ilumina e chama. São os homens que se colocam na posição de não conseguir mais escutar.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
