Nehemiah 9:33-35

Christian Standard Bible

³³ You are righteous concerning all that has happened to us,
because you have acted faithfully,
while we have acted wickedly.^(A)
34 Our kings, leaders, priests, and ancestors
did not obey your law
or listen to your commands
and warnings you gave them.
³⁵ When they were in their kingdom,
with your abundant goodness that you gave them,
and in the spacious and fertile land you set before them,^(B)
they would not serve you or turn from their wicked ways.
