The Nation Confesses

36 Behold, we are slaves this day, behold us here, slaves in the land which thou didst give unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof. 37 Its abundant produce is for the kings
Whom You have set over us because of our sins;
They also rule over our bodies
And over our cattle as they please,
So we are in great distress.
38 And because of all this, we make a sure covenant and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests seal unto it.
