Nehemiah 9:37 in Context — Nehemiah 9
35 Porque eles, mesmo em seu reino, nos muitos bens que lhes deste, e na terra espaçosa e fértil que entregaste a deles, não te serviram, nem se converteram de suas más obras.
36 Eis que hoje somos servos, na terra que havias dado a nossos pais para que comessem seus fruto e o seu bem, eis que nela somos servos.
37 E sua grande renda é para os reis que puseste sobre nós por nossos pecados; e eles à sua vontade dominam sobre nossos corpos e sobre nossos animais, e estamos em grande angústia.
38 A por causa de tudo isso nós fazemos [um pacto] fiel, e o escrevemos, e nossos príncipes, nossos Levitas, e nossos sacerdotes o selaram.
