Nehemiah:1:6-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
let thine ear now be attentive and thine eyes open ,
that thou may hear the prayer of thy servant ,
which I pray before thee now ,
day and night ,
for the sons of Israel ,
thy servants ,
and I confess the sins of the sons of Israel ,
with which we have sinned against thee ;
both I and my father '
s house have sinned .
*
We have dealt very corruptly against thee and have not kept the commandments nor the statutes nor the judgments ,
which thou didst command thy servant Moses .
*
Remember ,
I beseech thee ,
the word that thou didst command thy servant Moses ,
saying , [
If ]
ye transgress ,
I will scatter you abroad among the peoples ;
*
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 heavens , [
yet ]
will I gather them from there and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to cause my name to dwell there .
