Nehemiah 9:34-36

Living Bible

³⁴ Our kings, princes, priests, and ancestors didn’t obey your laws or listen to your warnings. ³⁵ They did not worship you despite the wonderful things you did for them and the great goodness you showered upon them. You gave them a large, fat land, but they refused to turn from their wickedness.

³⁶ “So now we are slaves here in the land of plenty that you gave to our ancestors! Slaves among all this abundance!
