Context of Nehemiah 1:10
8Please remember what you told us through your servant Moses: ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations. 9But if you return to me and continue to obey my commandments, though your people may be driven to the most distant point on the horizon, I will come and get you from there and bring you to the place where I chose to put my name.’ These are your servants and your people whom you have saved by your great power and your strong hand. 11Lord, please pay attention to my prayer and to the prayers of all your other servants who want to worship your name. Please give me success today and make this man, King Artaxerxes, show me compassion.” I was cupbearer to the king at this time.
