Nehemiah 1:2-4

2that Hanani, one of my brothers, came with certain men from Judah. And I asked them concerning the Jews who escaped, who had survived the exile, and concerning Jerusalem.

3And they said to me, "The remnant there in the province who had survived the exile is in great trouble and shame. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates are destroyed by fire."

4As soon as I heard these words I sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven.
