Nehemiah 1:1
|
|
The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now
it came to pass in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan
the palace, |
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 1:2 |
|
that Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and
certain men out of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped,
that were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. |
| |
|
|
| 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. |
| |
|
|
| Nehemiah 1:4 |
|
And it came to pass, when I heard these words,
that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days; and I fasted and prayed before
the God of heaven, |
| |
|
|
| Nehemiah 1:5 |
|
and said, I beseech thee, O Jehovah, the God
of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and lovingkindness
with them that love him and keep his commandments: |
| |
|
|
| Nehemiah 1:6 |
|
Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes
open, that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before
thee at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants while
I confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee.
Yea, I and my father's house have sinned: |
| |
|
|
| Nehemiah 1:7 |
|
we have dealt very corruptly against thee, and
have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances, which thou
commandedst thy servant Moses. |
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 1:8 |
|
Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou
commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye trespass, I will scatter you abroad
among the peoples: |
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 1:9 |
|
but if ye return unto me, and keep my commandments
and do them, though your outcasts were in the uttermost part of the heavens, yet
will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have
chosen, to cause my name to dwell there. |
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 1:10 |
|
Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom
thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand. |
|
|
|
| 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
delight to fear thy name; and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and
grant him mercy in the sight of this man. Now I was cupbearer to the king. |
