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.

Verse 37 is found in chapter 9 of Nehemiah. Foreign kingdoms and peoples subjected Israel, but the prayer insists that God was just in what occurred. Even under foreign domination, the community recognizes that the consequences corresponded to its conduct. This confession avoids placing all blame on external powers and maintains the people’s responsibility.

Und sein Ertrag mehrt sich den Königen, die du über uns gesetzt hast um unsrer Sünden willen; und sie herrschen über unsre Leiber und unser Vieh nach ihrem Willen, und wir sind in großer Not.
Y se multiplica su fruto para los reyes que has puesto sobre nosotros por nuestros pecados, quienes se enseñorean sobre nuestros cuerpos, y sobre nuestras bestias, conforme a su voluntad, y estamos en grande angustia.
Su abundante producto es para los reyes que has puesto sobre nosotros por nuestros pecados. Ellos dominan nuestros cuerpos y nuestro ganado según su voluntad, y estamos en gran angustia».
Elle multiplie ses produits pour les rois auxquels tu nous as assujettis, à cause de nos péchés; ils dominent à leur gré sur nos corps et sur notre bétail, et nous sommes dans une grande angoisse!
Ed esso produce in abbondanza per li re che tu hai costituiti sopra noi, per li nostri peccati, e i quali signoreggiano sopra i nostri corpi, e sopra le nostre bestie, a lor volontà; onde noi siamo in gran distretta.
E ela multiplica os seus produtos para os reis, que puseste sobre nós, por causa dos nossos pecados; e conforme a sua vontade dominam sobre os nossos corpos e sobre o nosso gado; e estamos numa grande angústia.
這地許多的出產都歸了諸王,就是你因我們的罪派來轄制我們的。他們任意轄制我們的身體和牲畜,我們遭了大難。』」
