The
words of Nehemiah the
son of Hachaliah. And it came
to pass in the month Chisleu, in
the twentieth year, as
I was
in Shushan the palace,
Words of Nehemiah son of Hachaliah. And it cometh
to pass ,
in the month of
Chisleu, the twentieth year, and
I have
been
in Shushan the palace,
That
Hanani, one of my brethren, came,
he and certain
men of Judah ;
and I asked
them concerning the Jews that
had
escaped
, which
were
left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem .
and
come
in
doth
Hanani, one of my brethren, he and men of Judah ,
and I ask
them concerning the Jews, the
escaped
part
that
have
been
left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem ;
And they said
unto
me, The
remnant
that
are
left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction
and reproach :
the wall of Jerusalem also
is broken down, and the
gates thereof
are
burned
with fire.
and they say
to
me, `Those
left ,
who
have
been
left
of the captivity there in the province ,
`
are '
in great evil,
and in
reproach ,
and
the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its
gates have
been
burnt
with fire. '
And it came
to pass, when
I
heard
these words, that
I sat down and
wept
, and mourned
certain
days, and fasted,
and prayed
before the God of heaven,
And it cometh
to pass, at
my
hearing
these words, I have
sat down, and I
weep
and
mourn
`for'
days, and I
am
fasting
and praying
before the God of the
heavens.
And said
, I beseech thee, O LORD
God of heaven
, the great and terrible
God
, that
keepeth
covenant and mercy
for them
that
love
him and observe
his commandments:
And I
say
, `
I beseech thee, O Jehovah,
God of the
heavens
, God,
the great and the
fearful
, keeping
the
covenant and kindness
for those
loving
Him ,
and for
those
keeping
His commands,
Let thine ear now
be attentive, and thine eyes open, that
thou
mayest
hear
the prayer of thy servant, which
I pray
before thee now
, day and night, for
the children
of Israel thy servants, and confess
the sins of the children
of Israel, which
we have sinned against thee :
both
I and my
father's
house have sinned .
let Thine ear be ,
I
pray
Thee,
attentive, and Thine eyes open, to
hearken
unto
the prayer of Thy servant, that
I am
praying
before Thee to-day
, by
day and by
night, concerning
the sons
of Israel Thy servants, and confessing
concerning
the sins of the sons
of Israel, that
we have sinned against Thee ;
yea,
I and the
house of
my
father
have sinned ;
We have dealt
very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments
, nor
the statutes, nor
the judgments, which
thou commandedst
thy servant Moses
.
we have acted
very corruptly against Thee, and have not kept the commands
, and
the statutes, and
the judgments, that
Thou didst
command
Moses
Thy servant.
Remember, I beseech
thee, the word that thou commandedst
thy servant Moses
, saying, If
ye transgress,
I will
scatter you abroad
among the
nations:
`
Remember, I pray
Thee, the word that Thou didst
command
Moses
Thy servant, saying, Ye --
ye
trespass
--
I scatter you among peoples;
But
if
ye turn
unto me, and keep
my commandments
, and do
them ;
though
there
were
of
you
cast
out
unto
the uttermost
part
of the heaven
, yet
will
I gather them from
thence
, and will
bring
them unto the place that I have chosen to set
my name there.
and
ye have
turned
back
unto Me, and kept
My commands
, and done
them --
if
your
outcast
is
in
the end
of the heavens
, thence
I gather them, and have
brought
them in
unto the place that I have chosen to cause
My name to
tabernacle
there.
Now
these
are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed
by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.
And
they
`
are '
Thy servants ,
and Thy people, whom Thou hast ransomed
by Thy great power, and by Thy strong hand.
O LORD, I beseech
thee, let
now
thine ear be attentive to
the prayer of thy servant, and to
the prayer of thy servants, who
desire
to fear thy name :
and prosper
, I pray thee, thy servant this
day, and grant
him mercy
in
the
sight
of
this man .
For
I was
the king's
cupbearer
.
`I
beseech
Thee,
O Lord, let,
I pray
Thee, Thine ear be attentive unto
the prayer of Thy servant, and unto
the prayer of Thy servants, those
delighting
to fear Thy Name ;
and give
prosperity
, I pray Thee, to
Thy servant to-
day, and give
him for
mercies
before
this man ;'
and
I have
been
butler
to
the king
.
