Nehemiah 1

The words
<01697>
of Nehemiah
<05166>
the son
<01121>
of Hachaliah
<02446>_.
And it came to pass in the month
<02320>
Chisleu
<03691>_,
in the twentieth
<06242>
year
<08141>_,
as I was in Shushan
<07800>
the palace
<01002>_,
That Hanani
<02607>_,
one
<0259>
of my brethren
<0251>_,
came
<0935> (8799)_,
he and [certain] men
<0582>
of Judah
<03063>_;
and I asked
<07592> (8799)
them concerning the Jews
<03064>
that had escaped
<06413>_,
which were left
<07604> (8738)
of the captivity
<07628>_,
and concerning Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, The remnant
<07604> (8737)
that are left
<07604> (8738)
of the captivity
<07628>
there in the province
<04082>
[are] in great
<01419>
affliction
<07451>
and reproach
<02781>_:
the wall
<02346>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
also [is] broken down
<06555> (8794)_,
and the gates
<08179>
thereof are burned
<03341> (8738)
with fire
<0784>_.
And it came to pass, when I heard
<08085> (8800)
these words
<01697>_,
that I sat down
<03427> (8804)
and wept
<01058> (8799)_,
and mourned
<056> (8691)
[certain] days
<03117>_,
and fasted
<06684> (8802)_,
and prayed
<06419> (8693)
before
<06440>
the God
<0430>
of heaven
<08064>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)_,
I beseech
<0577>
thee, O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of heaven
<08064>_,
the great
<01419>
and terrible
<03372> (8737)
God
<0410>_,
that keepeth
<08104> (8802)
covenant
<01285>
and mercy
<02617>
for them that love
<0157> (8802)
him and observe
<08104> (8802)
his commandments
<04687>_:
Let thine ear
<0241>
now be attentive
<07183>_,
and thine eyes
<05869>
open
<06605> (8803)_,
that thou mayest hear
<08085> (8800)
the prayer
<08605>
of thy servant
<05650>_,
which I pray
<06419> (8693)
before
<06440>
thee now
<03117>_,
day
<03119>
and night
<03915>_,
for the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
thy servants
<05650>_,
and confess
<03034> (8693)
the sins
<02403>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
which we have sinned
<02398> (8804)
against thee: both I and my father's
<01>
house
<01004>
have sinned
<02398> (8804)_.
We have dealt very
<02254> (8800)
corruptly
<02254> (8804)
against thee, and have not kept
<08104> (8804)
the commandments
<04687>_,
nor the statutes
<02706>_,
nor the judgments
<04941>_,
which thou commandedst
<06680> (8765)
thy servant
<05650>
Moses
<04872>_.
Remember
<02142> (8798)_,
I beseech thee, the word
<01697>
that thou commandedst
<06680> (8765)
thy servant
<05650>
Moses
<04872>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
[If] ye transgress
<04603> (8799)_,
I will scatter you abroad
<06327> (8686)
among the nations
<05971>_:
But [if] ye turn
<07725> (8804)
unto me, and keep
<08104> (8804)
my commandments
<04687>_,
and do
<06213> (8804)
them; though there were of you cast out
<05080> (8737)
unto the uttermost part
<07097>
of the heaven
<08064>_,
[yet] will I gather
<06908> (8762)
them from thence, and will bring
<0935> (8689)
them unto the place
<04725>
that I have chosen
<0977> (8804)
to set
<07931> (8763)
my name
<08034>
there.
Now these [are] thy servants
<05650>
and thy people
<05971>_,
whom thou hast redeemed
<06299> (8804)
by thy great
<01419>
power
<03581>_,
and by thy strong
<02389>
hand
<03027>_.
O Lord
<0136>_,
I beseech
<0577>
thee, let now thine ear
<0241>
be attentive
<07183>
to the prayer
<08605>
of thy servant
<05650>_,
and to the prayer
<08605>
of thy servants
<05650>_,
who desire
<02655>
to fear
<03372> (8800)
thy name
<08034>_:
and prosper
<06743> (8685)_,
I pray thee, thy servant
<05650>
this day
<03117>_,
and grant
<05414> (8798)
him mercy
<07356>
in the sight
<06440>
of this man
<0376>_.
For I was the king's
<04428>
cupbearer
<08248> (8688)_.
