Nehemiah, 9

29. And you contended with them, so that they might return to your law. Yet truly, they acted in arrogance, and they did not listen to your commandments, and they sinned against your judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them. And they withdrew from offering their shoulder, and they hardened their neck; neither would they listen.

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.

" 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."
