36 Look, we are slaves this day, and as for the land that you gave to our fathers to eat the fruit of it and the good of it, see, we are slaves in it.

Commentary

Adam Clarke
Verse 36 Behold, we are servants - They had no king of their own: and were under the government of the kings of Persia, to whom they paid a regular tribute.
Pulpit Commentary
Neh 9:36

We are servants this day. i.e. we have now no kingdom, we are slaves—the Persian is our master. As we would not be God’s servants, we are handed over to him.
