Nehemiah 9:35-37

³⁵For even while they were in their kingdom,

with the abundant goodness

that You had given them,

and in the spacious and fertile land

that You had set before them,

they would not serve You

or turn from their wicked ways.

³⁶So here we are today as slaves

in the land You gave our fathers to enjoy its fruit and goodness —

here we are as slaves!

³⁷Its abundant harvest goes to the kings

You have set over us because of our sins.

And they rule over our bodies and our livestock as they please.

We are in great distress.
