Al-Baqarah 83

وَاِذْ اَخَذْنَا م۪يثَاقَ بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓاء۪يلَ لَا تَعْبُدُونَ اِلَّا اللّٰهَ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ اِحْسَانًا وَذِي الْقُرْبٰى وَالْيَتَامٰى وَالْمَسَاك۪ينِ وَقُولُوا لِلنَّاسِ حُسْنًا وَاَق۪يمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَۜ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ اِلَّا قَل۪يلًا مِنْكُمْ وَاَنْتُمْ مُعْرِضُونَ ۝٨٣

83We took a covenant/pledge from the Children of Israel: "Serve none but Allah. Be good to your mother and father, to close relatives, to orphans, and to the needy. Speak kindly to people, perform the prayer, and give the zakat!" Then, except for a few of you, you went back on your word, and you still keep going back on it.
