Nehemiah 1 (kjv)

The words^H1697 of Nehemiah^H5166 the son^H1121 of Hachaliah^H2446. And it came to pass in the month^H2320 Chisleu^H3691, in the twentieth^H6242 year^H8141, as I was in Shushan^H7800 the palace^H1002,²That Hanani^H2607, one^H259 of my brethren^H251, came^H935, he and certain men^H582 of Judah^H3063; and I asked^H7592 them concerning the Jews^H3064 that had escaped^H6413, which were left^H7604 of the captivity^H7628, and concerning Jerusalem^H3389.³And they said^H559 unto me, The remnant^H7604 that are left^H7604 of the captivity^H7628 there in the province^H4082 are in great^H1419 affliction^H7451 and reproach^H2781: the wall^H2346 of Jerusalem^H3389 also is broken down^H6555, and the gates^H8179 thereof are burned^H3341 with fire^H784.⁴And it came to pass, when I heard^H8085 these words^H1697, that I sat down^H3427 and wept^H1058, and mourned^H56 certain days^H3117, and fasted^H6684, and prayed^H6419 before^H6440 the God^H430 of heaven^H8064,

⁵And said^H559, I beseech^H577 thee, O LORD^H3068 God^H430 of heaven^H8064, the great^H1419 and terrible^H3372 God^H410, that keepeth^H8104 covenant^H1285 and mercy^H2617 for them that love^H157 him and observe^H8104 his commandments^H4687:⁶Let thine ear^H241 now be attentive^H7183, and thine eyes^H5869 open^H6605, that thou mayest hear^H8085 the prayer^H8605 of thy servant^H5650, which I pray^H6419 before^H6440 thee now^H3117, day^H3119 and night^H3915, for the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 thy servants^H5650, and confess^H3034 the sins^H2403 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, which we have sinned^H2398 against thee: both I and my father's^H1 house^H1004 have sinned^H2398.⁷We have dealt very^H2254 corruptly^H2254 against thee, and have not kept^H8104 the commandments^H4687, nor the statutes^H2706, nor the judgments^H4941, which thou commandedst^H6680 thy servant^H5650 Moses^H4872.⁸Remember^H2142, I beseech thee, the word^H1697 that thou commandedst^H6680 thy servant^H5650 Moses^H4872, saying^H559, If ye transgress^H4603, I will scatter you abroad^H6327 among the nations^H5971:⁹But if ye turn^H7725 unto me, and keep^H8104 my commandments^H4687, and do^H6213 them; though there were of you cast out^H5080 unto the uttermost part^H7097 of the heaven^H8064, yet will I gather^H6908 them from thence, and will bring^H935 them unto the place^H4725 that I have chosen^H977 to set^H7931 my name^H8034 there.¹⁰Now these are thy servants^H5650 and thy people^H5971, whom thou hast redeemed^H6299 by thy great^H1419 power^H3581, and by thy strong^H2389 hand^H3027.¹¹O Lord^H136, I beseech^H577 thee, let now thine ear^H241 be attentive^H7183 to the prayer^H8605 of thy servant^H5650, and to the prayer^H8605 of thy servants^H5650, who desire^H2655 to fear^H3372 thy name^H8034: and prosper^H6743, I pray thee, thy servant^H5650 this day^H3117, and grant^H5414 him mercy^H7356 in the sight^H6440 of this man^H376. For I was the king's^H4428 cupbearer^H8248.
