Nehemiah 9:37-38

Darby Translation

³⁷ And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: and 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, our Levites, [and] our priests are at the sealing.
