Nehemiah 9:35-37

Nehemiah 9:35-37

[35] For they have not served  thee in their kingdom,  and in thy great  goodness  that thou gavest  them, and in the large  and fat  land  which thou gavest  before  them, neither turned  they from their wicked  works.  [36] Behold, we are servants  this day,  and for the land  that thou gavest  unto our fathers  to eat  the fruit  thereof and the good  thereof, behold, we are servants  [37] And it yieldeth much  increase  unto the kings  whom thou hast set  over us because of our sins:  also they have dominion  over our bodies,  and over our cattle,  at their pleasure,  and we are in great  distress.
