Nehemiah 9:36-38

21st Century King James Version

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 in it.

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.

³⁸ “And because of all this, we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests set their seal unto it.”
