Neh.|1:6|-|Let Your ear be attentive and Your |a|eyes open to hear the prayer of Your servant, which I pray before You now day and night, concerning the children of Israel, Your servants, while I |b|confess the sins of the children of Israel that we have sinned against You. Indeed, I and the house of my father have sinned;
Neh.|1:7|-|We have been most corrupt toward You and have not kept the |1|commandments and the statutes and the ordinances that You commanded Moses Your servant.
Neh.|1:8|-|Remember now the |1|word that You commanded Moses Your servant, saying, If you are unfaithful, I will |a|scatter you among the peoples;
Neh.|1:9|-|But if you |a|return to Me and keep My commandments and perform them, though your outcasts are under the |b|ends of heaven, from there I will gather them and bring them to the place where I have chosen to cause My name to dwell.
Neh.|1:10|-|Now these are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power and by Your strong hand.
Neh.|1:11|-|I beseech You, O Lord, let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and to the prayer of Your servants, who take delight in fearing Your name; and cause Your servant to prosper today, and grant him to find compassion before this man. Now I was cupbearer to the king.
