@ The
words
of
Nehemiah
the
son
of
Hachaliah
. And it came to pass in the
month
Chisleu
, in the
twentieth
year
, as I was in
Shushan
the
palace
,
strkjv@Nehemiah:1:2
@ That
Hanani
,
one
of my
brethren
,
came
, he and certain
men
of
Judah
; and I
asked
them concerning the
Jews
that had
escaped
, which were
left
of the
captivity
, and concerning
Jerusalem
.
strkjv@Nehemiah:1:3
@ And they
said
unto me, The
remnant
that are
left
of the
captivity
there in the
province
are in
great
affliction
and
reproach
: the
wall
of
Jerusalem
also is broken
down
, and the
gates
thereof are
burned
with
fire
.
strkjv@Nehemiah:1:4
@ And it came to pass, when I
heard
these
words
, that I sat
down
and
wept
, and
mourned
certain
days
, and
fasted
, and
prayed
before
the
God
of
heaven
,
strkjv@Nehemiah:1:5
@ And
said
, I
beseech
thee, O
LORD
God
of
heaven
, the
great
and
terrible
God
, that
keepeth
covenant
and
mercy
for them that
love
him and
observe
his
commandments
:
strkjv@Nehemiah:1:6
@ Let thine
ear
now be
attentive
, and thine
eyes
open
, that thou mayest
hear
the
prayer
of thy
servant
, which I
pray
before
thee
now
,
day
and
night
, for the
children
of
Israel
thy
servants
, and
confess
the
sins
of the
children
of
Israel
, which we have
sinned
against thee: both I and my
fathers
house
have
sinned
.
strkjv@Nehemiah:1:7
@ We have dealt
very
corruptly
against thee, and have not
kept
the
commandments
, nor the
statutes
, nor the
judgments
, which thou
commandedst
thy
servant
Moses
.
strkjv@Nehemiah:1:8
@
Remember
, I beseech thee, the
word
that thou
commandedst
thy
servant
Moses
,
saying
, If ye
transgress
, I will scatter you
abroad
among the
nations
:
strkjv@Nehemiah:1:9
@ But if ye
turn
unto me, and
keep
my
commandments
, and
do
them; though there were of you cast
out
unto the uttermost
part
of the
heaven
, yet will I
gather
them from thence, and will
bring
them unto the
place
that I have
chosen
to
set
my
name
there.
strkjv@Nehemiah:1:10
@ Now these are thy
servants
and thy
people
, whom thou hast
redeemed
by thy
great
power
, and by thy
strong
hand
.
strkjv@Nehemiah:1:11
@ O
Lord
, I
beseech
thee, let now thine
ear
be
attentive
to the
prayer
of thy
servant
, and to the
prayer
of thy
servants
, who
desire
to
fear
thy
name
: and
prosper
, I pray thee, thy
servant
this
day
, and
grant
him
mercy
in the
sight
of this
man
. For I was the
kings
cupbearer
.
