The wordsH1697 of NehemiahH5166 the sonH1121 of HachaliahH2446. And it came to pass in the monthH2320 ChisleuH3691, in the twentiethH6242 yearH8141, as I was in ShushanH7800 the palaceH1002,
That HananiH2607, oneH259 of my brethrenH251, cameH935, he and certain menH582 of JudahH3063; and I askedH7592 them concerning the JewsH3064 that had escapedH6413, which were leftH7604 of the captivityH7628, and concerning JerusalemH3389.
And they saidH559 unto me, The remnantH7604 that are leftH7604 of the captivityH7628 there in the provinceH4082 are in greatH1419 afflictionH7451 and reproachH2781: the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 also is broken downH6555, and the gatesH8179 thereof are burnedH3341 with fireH784.
And it came to pass, when I heardH8085 these wordsH1697, that I sat downH3427 and weptH1058, and mournedH56 certain daysH3117, and fastedH6684, and prayedH6419 beforeH6440 the GodH430 of heavenH8064,
And saidH559, I beseechH577 thee, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of heavenH8064, the greatH1419 and terribleH3372 GodH410, that keepethH8104 covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 for them that loveH157 him and observeH8104 his commandmentsH4687:
Let thine earH241 now be attentiveH7183, and thine eyesH5869 openH6605, that thou mayest hearH8085 the prayerH8605 of thy servantH5650, which I prayH6419 beforeH6440 thee nowH3117, dayH3119 and nightH3915, for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 thy servantsH5650, and confessH3034 the sinsH2403 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, which we have sinnedH2398 against thee: both I and my father'sH1 houseH1004 have sinnedH2398.
We have dealt veryH2254 corruptlyH2254 against thee, and have not keptH8104 the commandmentsH4687, nor the statutesH2706, nor the judgmentsH4941, which thou commandedstH6680 thy servantH5650 MosesH4872.
RememberH2142, I beseech thee, the wordH1697 that thou commandedstH6680 thy servantH5650 MosesH4872, sayingH559, If ye transgressH4603, I will scatter you abroadH6327 among the nationsH5971:
But if ye turnH7725 unto me, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687, and doH6213 them; though there were of you cast outH5080 unto the uttermost partH7097 of the heavenH8064, yet will I gatherH6908 them from thence, and will bringH935 them unto the placeH4725 that I have chosenH977 to setH7931 my nameH8034 there.
Now these are thy servantsH5650 and thy peopleH5971, whom thou hast redeemedH6299 by thy greatH1419 powerH3581, and by thy strongH2389 handH3027.
O LordH136, I beseechH577 thee, let now thine earH241 be attentiveH7183 to the prayerH8605 of thy servantH5650, and to the prayerH8605 of thy servantsH5650, who desireH2655 to fearH3372 thy nameH8034: and prosperH6743, I pray thee, thy servantH5650 this dayH3117, and grantH5414 him mercyH7356 in the sightH6440 of this manH376. For I was the king'sH4428 cupbearerH8248.

And I lookedH7200, and rose upH6965, and saidH559 unto the noblesH2715, and to the rulersH5461, and to the restH3499 of the peopleH5971, Be not ye afraidH3372 of themH6440: rememberH2142 the LordH136, which is greatH1419 and terribleH3372, and fightH3898 for your brethrenH251, your sonsH1121, and your daughtersH1323, your wivesH802, and your housesH1004.
And shewingH6213 mercyH2617 unto thousandsH505 of them that loveH157 me, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687.
Thou shalt not be affrightedH6206 atH6440 them: for the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 is amongH7130 you, a mightyH1419 GodH410 and terribleH3372.
KnowH3045 therefore that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, he is GodH430, the faithfulH539 GodH410, which keepethH8104 covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 with them that loveH157 him and keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687 to a thousandH505 generationsH1755;
And what oneH259 nationH1471 in the earthH776 is like thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whom GodH430 wentH1980 to redeemH6299 to be his own peopleH5971, to makeH7760 thee a nameH8034 of greatnessH1420 and terriblenessH3372, by driving outH1644 nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971, whom thou hast redeemedH6299 out of EgyptH4714?
And he saidH559, LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, there is no GodH430 like thee, in heavenH8064 aboveH4605, or on earthH776 beneath, who keepestH8104 covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 with thy servantsH5650 that walkH1980 beforeH6440 thee with all their heartH3820:
For the LORDH3068 most highH5945 is terribleH3372; he is a greatH1419 KingH4428 over all the earthH776.
ForG1063 when GodG2316 made promiseG1861 to AbrahamG11, becauseG1893 he couldG2192 swearG3660 byG2596 noG3762 greaterG3187, he swareG3660 byG2596 himselfG1438,
SayingG3004, SurelyG2229+G3375 blessingG2127 I will blessG2127 theeG4571, andG2532 multiplyingG4129 I will multiplyG4129 theeG4571.
AndG2532 soG3779, after he had patiently enduredG3114, he obtainedG2013 the promiseG1860.
ForG1063 menG444 verilyG3303 swearG3660 byG2596 the greaterG3187: andG2532 an oathG3727 forG1519 confirmationG951 is to themG846 an endG4009 of allG3956 strifeG485.

ThatG2443 byG1223 twoG1417 immutableG276 thingsG4229, inG1722 whichG3739 it was impossibleG102 for GodG2316 to lieG5574, we might haveG2192 a strongG2478 consolationG3874, whoG3588 have fled for refugeG2703 to lay holdG2902 upon the hopeG1680 set before usG4295:
And I prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068 my GodH430, and made my confessionH3034, and saidH559, OH577 LordH136, the greatH1419 and dreadfulH3372 GodH410, keepingH8104 the covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 to them that loveH157 him, and to them that keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687;
We have sinnedH2398, and have committed iniquityH5753, and have done wickedlyH7561, and have rebelledH4775, even by departingH5493 from thy preceptsH4687 and from thy judgmentsH4941:
Neither have we hearkenedH8085 unto thy servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, which spakeH1696 in thy nameH8034 to our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, and our fathersH1, and to all the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
O LordH136, righteousnessH6666 belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusionH1322 of facesH6440, as at this dayH3117; to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and unto all IsraelH3478, that are nearH7138, and that are far offH7350, through all the countriesH776 whither thou hast drivenH5080 them, because of their trespassH4604 that they have trespassedH4603 against thee. {belongeth…: or, thou hast}
O LORDH3068, to us belongeth confusionH1322 of faceH6440, to our kingsH4428, to our princesH8269, and to our fathersH1, because we have sinnedH2398 against thee.
To the LordH136 our GodH430 belong merciesH7356 and forgivenessesH5547, though we have rebelledH4775 against him;
Neither have we obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to walkH3212 in his lawsH8451, which he setH5414 beforeH6440 us byH3027 his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030.
Yea, all IsraelH3478 have transgressedH5674 thy lawH8451, even by departingH5493, that they might not obeyH8085 thy voiceH6963; therefore the curseH423 is pouredH5413 upon us, and the oathH7621 that is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430, because we have sinnedH2398 against him.
And he hath confirmedH6965 his wordsH1697, which he spakeH1696 against us, and against our judgesH8199 that judgedH8199 us, by bringingH935 upon us a greatH1419 evilH7451: for under the whole heavenH8064 hath not been doneH6213 as hath been doneH6213 upon JerusalemH3389.
As it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, all this evilH7451 is comeH935 upon us: yet made we not our prayerH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, that we might turnH7725 from our iniquitiesH5771, and understandH7919 thy truthH571. {made…: Heb. intreated we not the face of the, etc}
Therefore hath the LORDH3068 watchedH8245 upon the evilH7451, and broughtH935 it upon us: for the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is righteousH6662 in all his worksH4639 which he doethH6213: for we obeyedH8085 not his voiceH6963.
And now, O LordH136 our GodH430, that hast broughtH3318 thy peopleH5971 forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and hast gottenH6213 thee renownH8034, as at this dayH3117; we have sinnedH2398, we have done wickedlyH7561. {gotten…: Heb. made thee a name}
O LordH136, according to all thy righteousnessH6666, I beseech thee, let thine angerH639 and thy furyH2534 be turned awayH7725 from thy cityH5892 JerusalemH3389, thy holyH6944 mountainH2022: because for our sinsH2399, and for the iniquitiesH5771 of our fathersH1, JerusalemH3389 and thy peopleH5971 are become a reproachH2781 to all that are aboutH5439 us.
Now therefore, O our GodH430, hearH8085 the prayerH8605 of thy servantH5650, and his supplicationsH8469, and cause thy faceH6440 to shineH215 upon thy sanctuaryH4720 that is desolateH8076, for the Lord'sH136 sake.
O my GodH430, inclineH5186 thine earH241, and hearH8085; openH6491 thine eyesH5869, and beholdH7200 our desolationsH8074, and the cityH5892 which is calledH7121 by thy nameH8034: for we do not presentH5307 our supplicationsH8469 beforeH6440 thee for our righteousnessesH6666, but for thy greatH7227 merciesH7356. {which…: Heb. whereupon thy name is called} {present: Heb. cause to fall}
O LordH136, hearH8085; O LordH136, forgiveH5545; O LordH136, hearkenH7181 and doH6213; deferH309 notH408, for thine own sake, O my GodH430: for thy cityH5892 and thy peopleH5971 are calledH7121 by thy nameH8034.
