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,

and in the spacious and fertile land you set before them,(B)
they would not serve you or turn from their wicked ways.
