Nehemiah 9:33-35

New Catholic Bible

³³ You have treated us with justice
    in everything that has happened to us,
for you have remained faithful to us
    even though we have done wrong in your eyes.
³⁴ “Our kings, our princes, our priests, and our ancestors
    did not keep your law,
nor did they pay attention to your commandments
    or heed the warnings you gave them.
³⁵ Even while they were in their own kingdom,
    despite the abundant goodness
    that you bestowed upon them,
and despite the wide and fertile land
    that you lavished upon them,
they did not serve you
    or renounce their evil deeds.
