Nehemiah 9:38 YLT

³⁶  'Lo, we -- to-day -- 'are' servants, and the land that Thou hast given to our fathers, to eat its fruit and its good -- lo, we 'are' servants on it,

³⁷  and its increase it is multiplying to the kings whom Thou hast set over us in our sins; and over our bodies they are ruling, and over our cattle, according to their pleasure, and we 'are' in great distress.

³⁸  And for all this we are making a stedfast covenant, and are writing, and over him who is sealed 'are' our heads, our Levites, our priests.'
