And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.
La tierra produce cosechas abundantes para los reyes extranjeros que has puesto sobre nosotros por causa de nuestros pecados. Estos reyes tienen control completo sobre nuestros cuerpos y nuestro ganado, haciendo lo que quieren con nosotros, y estamos en terrible angustia.
El pueblo sufre bajo reyes extranjeros que Dios permitió que los gobernaran como consecuencia de sus pecados.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Nehemiah, the Jewish people had returned from exile in Babylon and were attempting to rebuild their city and spiritual lives under Persian rule, which was a time of both restoration and ongoing oppression. This verse is part of a communal prayer of confession in chapter 9, where the Israelites reflected on their history of disobedience to God, acknowledging that their sins led to foreign domination and hardship. It specifically highlights how God allowed kings like the Persians to control their land and resources as a consequence of their unfaithfulness.
