Nehemiah 9:36 in Context — Nehemiah 9
34 Nos rois, nos chefs, nos sacrificateurs et nos pères n’ont point observé ta loi, et ils n’ont été attentifs ni à tes commandements ni aux avertissements que tu leur adressais.
35 Pendant qu’ils étaient les maîtres, au milieu des bienfaits nombreux que tu leur accordais, dans le pays vaste et fertile que tu leur avais livré, ils ne t’ont point servi et ils ne se sont point détournés de leurs œuvres mauvaises.
36 Et aujourd’hui, nous voici esclaves! Nous voici esclaves sur la terre que tu as donnée à nos pères, pour qu’ils jouissent de ses fruits et de ses biens!
37 Elle multiplie ses produits pour les rois auxquels tu nous as assujettis, à cause de nos péchés; ils dominent à leur gré sur nos corps et sur notre bétail, et nous sommes dans une grande angoisse!
38 Pour tout cela, nous contractâmes une alliance, que nous mîmes par écrit; et nos chefs, nos Lévites et nos sacrificateurs y apposèrent leur sceau.
