Nehemiah 9:33-35

Living Bible

³³ Every time you punished us you were being perfectly fair; we have sinned so greatly that you gave us only what we deserved. ³⁴ Our kings, princes, priests, and ancestors didn’t obey your laws or listen to your warnings. ³⁵ They did not worship you despite the wonderful things you did for them and the great goodness you showered upon them. You gave them a large, fat land, but they refused to turn from their wickedness.
