Nehemiah 9:34-36

New American Standard Bible 1995

³⁴ “For our kings, our leaders, our priests and our fathers have not kept Your law
Or paid attention to Your commandments and Your ^[a]admonitions with which You have ^[b]admonished them.
³⁵ “But ^(A)they, in their own kingdom,
^(B)With Your great goodness which You gave them,
With the broad and rich land which You set before them,
Did not serve You or turn from their evil deeds.
³⁶ “Behold, ^(C)we are slaves today,
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.
