Nehemiah 9:37-38

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁷ And the fruits thereof grow up for the kings, whom thou hast set over us for our sins, and they have dominion over our bodies, and over our beasts, according to their will, and we are in great tribulation.

³⁸ And because of all this we ourselves make a covenant, and write it, and our princes, our Levites, and our priests sign it.
