Nehemiah 2:2-3
2So the king said to me, “Why is your face sad though you are not sick? 1This is nothing but sadness of heart.” Then I was very much afraid.
3I said to the king, “2Let the king live forever. Why should my face not be sad 3when the city, the place of my fathers’ tombs, lies desolate and its gates have been consumed by fire?”
