Nehemiah 2:2-3
2So the kingH4428 saidH559 to me, “WhyH4069 is your faceH6440 sadH7451 though you are not sickH2470? 1ThisH2088 is nothingH369 but sadnessH7455 of heartH3820.” Then I was veryH3966 muchH7235 afraidH3372.
3I saidH559 to the kingH4428, “2Let the kingH4428 liveH2421 foreverH5769. WhyH4069 should my faceH6440 not be sadH7489 3whenH834 the cityH5892, the placeH1004 of my fathers’H1 tombsH6913, lies desolateH2720 and its gatesH8179 have been consumedH398 by fireH784?”
