Daniel 9:4-6 Part 2 of 2

I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed: "O Lord, you are a great and awesome God! You always fulfill your covenant and keep your promises of unfailing love to those who love you and obey your commands. But we have sinned and done wrong. We have rebelled against you and scorned your commands and regulations. We have refused to listen to your servants the prophets who spoke on your authority to our kings and princes and ancestors and to all the people of the land."

"We have refused to listen to your servants the prophets who spoke on your authority to our kings and princes and ancestors and to all the people of the land."

Deuteronomy 32:15-18  

"But Israel soon became fat and unruly;

    the people grew heavy, plump, and stuffed!

Then they abandoned the God who had made them;

    they made light of the Rock of their salvation.

They stirred up his jealousy by worshiping foreign gods;

    they provoked his fury with detestable deeds.

They offered sacrifices to demons, which are not God,

    to gods they had not known before,

to new gods only recently arrived,

    to gods their ancestors had never feared.

You neglected the Rock who had fathered you;

    you forgot the God who had given you birth." (see verses 15-33)

2 Chronicles 29:6-7  "Our ancestors were unfaithful and did what was evil in the sight of the LORD our God. They abandoned the LORD and his dwelling place; they turned their backs on him.

(see verses 3-17)
