Names of God Bible
Nehemiah 9:35-37
Names of God Bible
35 When they lived in their own kingdom and enjoyed the many good things
that you gave them in a vast, fertile land
which was set in front of them, they didn’t serve you
or turn away from their wicked lives.
36 Look at us now. We’re slaves!
In the land you gave our ancestors,
they could eat its produce and enjoy its good things.
But now we’re slaves!
37 The many products from our land go to the kings you put over us.
This is because of our sins.
These kings have control over our bodies,
and they do as they please with our livestock.
We are in agony.[a]
