Verse 29 is found in chapter 13 of Nehemiah. Nehemiah discovers that some leaders have permitted marriages that compromise the identity of the community, even within a priestly family. He confronts those responsible, recalls Solomon’s precedent, and acts to correct the situation. The book ends by insisting that the restoration of the city has meaning only if the faithfulness of the people is also protected.

Gedenke an sie, mein Gott, daß sie das Priestertum befleckt haben und den Bund des Priestertums und der Leviten!
Acuérdate de ellos, Dios mío, contra los que contaminan el sacerdocio, y el pacto del sacerdocio y de los Levitas.
Acuérdate de ellos, Dios mío, por haber profanado el sacerdocio y el pacto del sacerdocio y de los levitas.
Souviens-toi d'eux, ô mon Dieu, car ils ont souillé le sacerdoce et l'alliance contractée par les sacrificateurs et les Lévites.
Ricordati di loro, o Dio mio; conciossiachè abbiano contaminato il sacerdozio, e il patto del sacerdozio, e de’ Leviti.
Lembra-te deles, Deus meu, pois contaminaram o sacerdócio, como também a aliança do sacerdócio e dos levitas.
我的上帝啊,求你記得他們的罪,因為他們玷污了祭司的職分,違背祭司和 利未 人的約。
