1The words^H1697 of Nehemiah^H5166 the son^H1121 of Hacaliah.^H2446 Now it happened^H1961 in the month^H2320 Chislev,^H3691 [in] the twentieth^H6242 year,^H8141 while I was in Susa^H7800 the capitol,^H1002
2that Hanani,^H2607 one^H259 of my brothers,^H251 and some men^H376 from Judah^H3063 came;^H935 and I asked^H7592 them concerning^H5921 the Jews^H3064 who had escaped^H6413 [and] had survived^H7604 the captivity,^H7628 and about^H5921 Jerusalem.^H3389
3And they said^H559 to me, "The remnant^H7604 there^H8033 in the province^H4082 who^H834 survived^H7604 the captivity^H7628 are in great^H1419 distress^H9567 and reproach,^H2781 and the wall^H2346 of Jerusalem^H3389 is broken^H6555 down^H6555 and its gates^H8179 are burned^H3341 with fire.^H784"
4Now it came^H1961 about when I heard^H8085 these^H428 words,^H1697 I sat^H3427 down^H3427 and wept^H1058 and mourned^H56 for days;^H3117 and I was fasting^H6684 and praying^H6419 before^H6440 the God^H430 of heaven.^H8064
5And I said,^H559 "I beseech^H577 Thee, O Lord^H3068 God^H430 of heaven,^H8064 the great^H1419 and awesome^H3372 God,^H410 who preserves^H8104 the covenant^H1285 and lovingkindness^H2617 for those who love^H157 Him and keep^H8104 His commandments,^H4687
6let Thine ear^H241 now^H4994 be attentive^H7183 and Thine eyes^H5869 open^H6605 to hear^H8085 the prayer^H8605 of Thy servant^H5650 which^H834 I am praying^H6419 before^H6440 Thee now,^H3117 day^H3119 and night,^H3915 on behalf^H5921 of the sons^H1121 of Israel^H3478 Thy servants,^H5650 confessing^H3034 the sins^H9128 of the sons^H1121 of Israel^H3478 which^H834 we have sinned^H2398 against Thee; I and my father's house^H1004 have sinned.^H2398
7"We have acted^H2254 very^H2254 corruptly^H2254 against Thee and have not kept^H8104 the commandments,^H4687 nor^H3808 the statutes,^H2706 nor^H3808 the ordinances^H4941 which^H834 Thou didst command^H6680 Thy servant^H5650 Moses.^H4872
8"Remember^H2142 the word^H1697 which^H834 Thou didst command^H6680 Thy servant^H5650 Moses,^H4872 saying,^H559 'If you are unfaithful^H4603 I will scatter^H6327 you among the peoples;^H5971
9but if you return^H7725 to Me and keep^H8104 My commandments^H4687 and do^H6213 them, though^H518 those of you who have been scattered^H5080 were in the most^H7097 remote^H7097 part^H7097 of the heavens,^H8064 I will gather^H6908 them from there^H8033 and will bring^H935 them to the place^H4725 where^H834H8033 I have chosen^H977 to cause My name^H8034 to dwell.^H7931'
10"And they are Thy servants^H5650 and Thy people^H5971 whom^H834 Thou didst redeem^H6299 by Thy great^H1419 power^H3581 and by Thy strong^H2389 hand.^H3027
11"O^H577 Lord,^H136 I beseech^H577 Thee, may Thine ear^H241 be attentive^H7183 to the prayer^H8605 of Thy servant^H5650 and the prayer^H8605 of Thy servants^H5650 who delight^H2655 to revere^H3372 Thy name,^H8034 and make^H6743 Thy servant^H5650 successful^H6743 today,^H3117 and grant^H5414 him compassion^H7356 before^H6440 this^H2088 man.^H376" Now I was the cupbearer^H9307 to the king.^H4428
