H1697
The words
H5166
of Nehemiah
H1121
the son
H2446
of Hachaliah.
H2320
And it came to pass in the month
H3691
Chisleu,
H6242
in the twentieth
H8141
year,
H7800
as I was in Shushan
H1002
the palace,
2
H2607
That Hanani,
H259
one
H251
of my brothers,
H935
came,
H582
he and certain men
H3063
of Judah;
H7592
and I asked
H3064
them concerning the Jews
H6413
that had escaped,
H7604
which were left
H7628
of the captivity,
H3389
and concerning Jerusalem.
3
H559
And they said
H7604
unto me, The remnant
H7604
that are left
H7628
of the captivity
H4082
there in the province
H1419
are in great
H7451
affliction
H2781
and reproach:
H2346
the wall
H3389
of Jerusalem
H6555
also is broken down,
H8179
and the gates
H3341
there are burned
H784
with fire.
4
H8085
And it came to pass, when I heard
H1697
these words,
H3427
that I sat down
H1058
and wept,
H56
and mourned
H3117
certain days,
H6684
and fasted,
H6419
and prayed
H6440
before
H430
the God
H8064
of heaven,
5
H559
And said,
H577
I beg
H3068
you, O Lord
H430
God
H8064
of heaven,
H1419
the great
H3372
and terrible
H410
God,
H8104
that keeps
H1285
covenant
H2617
and mercy
H157
for them that love
H8104
him and observe
H4687
his commandments:
6
H241
Let your ear
H7183
now be attentive,
H5869
and your eyes
H6605
open,
H8085
that you may hear
H8605
the prayer
H5650
of your servant,
H6419
which I pray
H6440
before
H3117
you now,
H3119
day
H3915
and night,
H1121
for the sons
H3478
of Israel
H5650
your servants,
H3034
and confess
H2403
the sins
H1121
of the sons
H3478
of Israel,
H2398
which we have sinned
H1
against you: both I and my father's
H1004
house
H2398
have sinned.
7
H2254
We have dealt very
H2254
corruptly
H8104
against you, and have not kept
H4687
the commandments,
H2706
nor the statutes,
H4941
nor the judgments,
H6680
which you commanded
H5650
your servant
H4872
Moses.
8
H2142
Remember,
H1697
I beg you, the word
H6680
that you commanded
H5650
your servant
H4872
Moses,
H559
saying,
H4603
If you transgress,
H6327
I will scatter you abroad
H5971
among the nations:
9
H7725
But if you turn
H8104
unto me, and keep
H4687
my commandments,
H6213
and do
H5080
them; though there were of you cast out
H7097
unto the outermost part
H8064
of the heaven,
H6908
yet will I gather
H935
them from there, and will bring
H4725
them unto the place
H977
that I have chosen
H7931
to set
H8034
my name there.
10
H5650
Now these are your servants
H5971
and your people,
H6299
whom you have redeemed
H1419
by your great
H3581
power,
H2389
and by your strong
H3027
hand.
11
H136
O Lord,
H577
I beg
H241
you, let now your ear
H7183
be attentive
H8605
to the prayer
H5650
of your servant,
H8605
and to the prayer
H5650
of your servants,
H2655
who desire
H3372
to fear
H8034
your name:
H6743
and prosper,
H5650
I pray you, your servant
H3117
this day,
H5414
and grant
H7356
him mercy
H6440
in the sight
H376
of this man.
H4428
For I was the king's
H8248
cupbearer.
