Now it happened in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/nehemiah/1-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>that Hanani, one of my brothers, came, he and certain men out of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped, who were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/nehemiah/1-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>They said to me, "The remnant who are left of the captivity there in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and its gates are burned with fire."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/nehemiah/1-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>It happened, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days; and I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/nehemiah/1-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>and said, "I beg you, LORD, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments: <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/nehemiah/1-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Let your ear now be attentive, and your eyes open, that you may listen to the prayer of your servant, which I pray before you at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel your servants while I confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Yes, I and my father's house have sinned. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/nehemiah/1-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>We have dealt very corruptly against you, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances, which you commanded your servant Moses. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/nehemiah/1-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>"Remember, I beg you, the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, 'If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you abroad among the peoples; <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/nehemiah/1-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>but if you return to me, and keep my commandments and do them, though some of you were cast out to the farthest horizon, yet will I gather them from there, and will bring them to the place that I have chosen, to cause my name to dwell there.' <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/nehemiah/1-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>"Now these are your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power, and by your strong hand. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/nehemiah/1-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Lord, I beg you, let your ear be attentive now to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants, who delight to fear your name; and please prosper your servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man."
