16:009:031 Nevertheless for thy great mercies’ sake thou didst not
           utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a
           gracious and merciful God.

16:009:032 Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the
           terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the
           trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on
           our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our
           prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the
           time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.

16:009:033 Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou
           hast done right, but we have done wickedly: 

16:009:034 Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our
           fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and
           thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them.

16:009:035 For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy
           great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat
           land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from
           their wicked works.

16:009:036 Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou
           gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good
           thereof, behold, we are servants in it: 

16:009:037 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.

16:009:038 And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it;
           and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it.

16:010:001 Now those that sealed were, Nehemiah, the Tirshatha, the son
           of Hachaliah, and Zidkijah,

           sons of Henadad, Kadmiel;

16:010:010 And their brethren, Shebaniah, Hodijah, Kelita, Pelaiah,
           Hanan,
