Nehemías 9:32

Ahora pues, Dios nuestro, Dios grande, poderoso y temible, que guardas el pacto y la misericordia, no parezca insignificante ante ti toda la aflicción que nos ha sobrevenido, a nuestros reyes, a nuestros príncipes, a nuestros sacerdotes, a nuestros profetas, a nuestros padres y a todo tu pueblo, desde los días de los reyes de Asiria hasta el día de hoy.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy,.... The same titles Nehemiah gives to the Lord, Nehemiah 1:5 and it may be reasonably thought the whole prayer is his composure, which was delivered by him to the Levites:

let not all the trouble seem little before thee; as if it was not enough; let it be judged sufficient, and no more be added, but mercy shown; Aben Ezra thinks the word "little" is not to be connected with "trouble", but with the nearest antecedent "mercy", and so Gussetius z; as if the sense was, let not thy mercy be small with thee, but let it be largely extended along with all the trouble, or at the time when trouble of every kind

comes 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 times of the kings of Assyria unto this day; but this sense is not clear, and makes it have respect to times to come; whereas it relates to time past, and to all the trouble and affliction they had met with from the Assyrian kings, from the time they invaded their land, and carried them captive, until this very time.

z Ebr. Comment. p. 937.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 32. On our kings, on our princes — I believe Nehemiah in this place mentions the whole of civil society in its officers as they stand related to each other in dignity: -

1. KINGS, as supreme.

2. PRINCES.

3. PRIESTS.

4. PROPHETS.

5. The FATHERS, heads or chiefs of tribes and families.

6. The COMMON PEOPLE.

Those who disturb this natural order (for it subsists even in Britain) are enemies to the peace of the whole, whatever they may pretend to the contrary.
