Nehemiah 9:32-37 - The Present
32
Do not let all the hardship seem insignificant before You,
Which has come upon us, our kings, our princes, our priests, our prophets, our fathers and on all Your people,
For You have dealt faithfully, but we have acted wickedly.
Or paid attention to Your commandments and Your
With the broad and rich land which You set before them,
Did not serve You or turn from their evil deeds.
And as to the land which You gave to our fathers to eat of its fruit and its bounty,
Behold, we are slaves in it.
Whom You have set over us because of our sins;
They also rule over our bodies
And over our cattle as they please,
So we are in great distress.
