Nehemiah 1

1

The wordsh1697 of Nehemiahh5166 the sonh1121 of Hachaliahh2446. And it came to pass in the monthh2320 Chisleuh3691, in the twentiethh6242 yearh8141, as I was in Shushanh7800 the palaceh1002,

2

That Hananih2607, oneh259 of my brethrenh251, cameh935h8799, he and certain menh582 of Judahh3063; and I askedh7592h8799 them concerning the Jewsh3064 that had escapedh6413, which were lefth7604h8738 of the captivityh7628, and concerning Jerusalemh3389.

3

And they saidh559h8799 unto me, The remnanth7604h8737 that are lefth7604h8738 of the captivityh7628 there in the provinceh4082 are in greath1419 afflictionh7451 and reproachh2781: the wallh2346 of Jerusalemh3389 also is broken downh6555h8794, and the gatesh8179 thereof are burnedh3341h8738 with fireh784.

4

And it came to pass, when I heardh8085h8800 these wordsh1697, that I sat downh3427h8804 and wepth1058h8799, and mournedh56h8691 certain daysh3117, and fastedh6684h8802, and prayedh6419h8693 beforeh6440 the Godh430 of heavenh8064,

5

And saidh559h8799, I beseechh577 thee, O LORDh3068 Godh430 of heavenh8064, the greath1419 and terribleh3372h8737 Godh410, that keepethh8104h8802 covenanth1285 and mercyh2617 for them that loveh157h8802 him and observeh8104h8802 his commandmentsh4687:

6

Let thine earh241 now be attentiveh7183, and thine eyesh5869 openh6605h8803, that thou mayest hearh8085h8800 the prayerh8605 of thy servanth5650, which I prayh6419h8693 beforeh6440 thee nowh3117, dayh3119 and nighth3915, for the childrenh1121 of Israelh3478 thy servantsh5650, and confessh3034h8693 the sinsh2403 of the childrenh1121 of Israelh3478, which we have sinnedh2398h8804 against thee: both I and my father'sh1 househ1004 have sinnedh2398h8804.

7

We have dealt veryh2254h8800 corruptlyh2254h8804 against thee, and have not kepth8104h8804 the commandmentsh4687, nor the statutesh2706, nor the judgmentsh4941, which thou commandedsth6680h8765 thy servanth5650 Mosesh4872.

8

Rememberh2142h8798, I beseech thee, the wordh1697 that thou commandedsth6680h8765 thy servanth5650 Mosesh4872, sayingh559h8800, If ye transgressh4603h8799, I will scatter you abroadh6327h8686 among the nationsh5971:

9

But if ye turnh7725h8804 unto me, and keeph8104h8804 my commandmentsh4687, and doh6213h8804 them; though there were of you cast outh5080h8737 unto the uttermost parth7097 of the heavenh8064, yet will I gatherh6908h8762 them from thence, and will bringh935h8689 them unto the placeh4725 that I have chosenh977h8804 to seth7931h8763 my nameh8034 there.

10

Now these are thy servantsh5650 and thy peopleh5971, whom thou hast redeemedh6299h8804 by thy greath1419 powerh3581, and by thy strongh2389 handh3027.

11

O Lordh136, I beseechh577 thee, let now thine earh241 be attentiveh7183 to the prayerh8605 of thy servanth5650, and to the prayerh8605 of thy servantsh5650, who desireh2655 to fearh3372h8800 thy nameh8034: and prosperh6743h8685, I pray thee, thy servanth5650 this dayh3117, and granth5414h8798 him mercyh7356 in the sighth6440 of this manh376. For I was the king'sh4428 cupbearerh8248h8688.
