35“But they, in their own kingdom,
         With Your great goodness which You gave them,
         With the broad and rich land which You set before them,
         Did not serve You or turn from their evil deeds.

36“Behold, we are slaves today,
And as to the land which You gave to our fathers to eat of its fruit and its bounty,
Behold, we are slaves in it.

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.
