Nehemiah 9:33-35

33You are righteous concerning all that has happened to us, because you have acted faithfully, while we have acted wickedly.

34Our kings, leaders, priests, and ancestors did not obey your law or listen to your commands and warnings you gave them.

35When they were in their kingdom, with your abundant goodness that you gave them, and in the spacious and fertile land you set before them, they would not serve you or turn from their wicked ways.
