The author generalizes an identity of \textit{M. E. Hoffman} [Pac. J. Math. 152, No. 2, 275--290 (1992; Zbl 0763.11037)] involving the Bernoulli numbers in several directions. This is motivated by computations of multiple zeta values. In each case, the identity is of the form where the left-hand side is a sum over compositions satisfying some condition and the right-hand side is a well-known combinatorial sequence or single sum. Several identities are presented. For instance, binomial coefficients, Euler numbers, Catalan numbers, and Stirling numbers of the first kind appear on the right-hand side.
