Nehemiah 1:2-7 and come in does Hanani, one of my brethren, he and men of Judah, and I ask them concerning the Jews, the escaped part that have been left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem;"

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² and come in does Hanani, one of my brethren, he and men of Judah, and I ask them concerning the Jews, the escaped part that have been left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem;" ³ and they say to me, `Those left, who have been left of the captivity there in the province, [are] in great evil, and in reproach, and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burnt with fire.. ⁴ And it comes to pass, at my hearing these words, I have sat down, and I weep and mourn [for] days, and I am fasting and praying before the Elohim of the heavens. ⁵ And I say, `I beseech you, O Yahweh, Elohim of the heavens, El, the great and the fearful, keeping the covenant and kindness for those loving Him, and for those keeping His commands, ⁶ let Your ear be, I pray You, attentive, and Your eyes open, to hearken unto the prayer of Your servant, that I am praying before You to-day, by day and by night, concerning the sons of Israel Your servants, and confessing concerning the sins of the sons of Israel, that we have sinned against You; yea, I and the house of my father have sinned;" ⁷ we have acted very corruptly against You, and have not kept the commands, and the statutes, and the judgments, that You did command Moses Your servant.
