Nehemiah 9:33-35

33You are just in all that has befallen us, because You have acted faithfully, while we have acted wickedly.34Our kings and leaders and priests and fathers did not obey Your law or listen to Your commandments and warnings that You gave them.35For even while they were in their kingdom, with the abundant goodness that You had given them, and in the spacious and fertile land that You had set before them, they would not serve You or turn from their wicked ways.
