Nehemiah 1:2-5
2that 1HananiH2607, oneH259 of my brothersH251, 2and some menH376 from JudahH3063 cameH935; and I askedH7592 them aboutH5921 the JewsH3064 who had escapedH6413 3and had survivedH7604 the captivityH7628, and aboutH5921 JerusalemH3389. 3And they saidH559 to me, “The remnantH7604 thereH8033 in the 4provinceH4082 whoH834 survivedH7604 the captivityH7628 are in greatH1419 distressH7463 and 5disgraceH2781, and 6the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 is brokenH6555 downH6555 and 7its gatesH8179 have been burnedH3341 with fireH784.”
4Now when I heardH8085 theseH428 wordsH1697, 8I satH3427 downH3427 and weptH1058 and mournedH56 for daysH3117; and I was fastingH6684 and prayingH6419 beforeH6440 9the GodH430 of heavenH8064. 5I saidH559, “PleaseH577, LordH3068 GodH430 of heavenH8064, 10the greatH1419 and awesomeH3372 GodH410, 11who keepsH8104 the covenantH1285 and faithfulnessH2617 for those who loveH157 Him and keepH8104 His commandmentsH4687:
