Nehemiah:1:6-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open ,
that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now ,
day and night ,
for the children of Israel Your servants ,
and confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You .
Both my father '
s house and I have sinned .
*
We have acted very corruptly against You ,
and have not kept the commandments ,
the statutes ,
nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses .
*
Remember ,
I pray ,
the word that You commanded Your servant Moses ,
saying , "
If you are unfaithful ,
I will scatter you among the nations ;
*
but if you return to Me ,
and keep My commandments and do them ,
though some of you were cast out to the farthest part of the heavens ,
yet I will gather them from there ,
and bring them to the place which I have chosen as a dwelling for My name .'
