33 You have been fair in everything that has happened to us. You have been loyal, but we have been wicked.

34 Our kings, leaders, priests and ancestors did not obey your teachings. They did not pay attention to the commands and warnings you gave them.

35 Even when our ancestors were living in their kingdom, they did not serve you. They were enjoying all the good things you had given them. They were enjoying the land that was fertile and full of room. But they did not stop their evil ways.
