Nehemiah 9:36-37

9:36 “So today we are slaves! In the very land you gave to our ancestors to eat its fruit and to enjoy its good things – we are slaves! 9:37 Its abundant produce goes to the kings you have placed over us due to our sins. They rule over our bodies and our livestock as they see fit, and we are in great distress!


tn The expression “to enjoy” is not included in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

tn Heb “according to their desire.”
