The Book of
Nehemiah
CHAPTER 1
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,
2
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.
3
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.
4
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,
5
And said, I beseech thee, O L
ORD
God of
heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and
observe his commandments:
6
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.
7
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.
8
Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses,
saying,
If
ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
9
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.
10
Now these
are
thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed
