Adam Clarke, on Neh 9:34
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Neh 9:34 · Douay-Rheims
“Our kings, our princes, our priests, and our fathers have not kept thy law, and have not minded thy commandments, and thy testimonies which thou hast testified among them.”
On this verse:
“Neither have our kings - In this verse he acknowledges that the kings, princes, priests, and fathers, had broken the law: but the prophets are left out; for they continued faithful to God, testifying by his Spirit against the crimes of all; and this even at the risk of their lives.”
